Fat Witch Bakery

Profile

If for nothing else, The Fat Witch Bakery could win an award for packaging and marketing design. From the endearingly scattered-looking Fat Witch of their logo to the tins filled with miniature brownies, this shops makes you want to find an excuse to buy brownies as a gift and ship them all over the U.S. Luckily, the brownies are not just good looking. Richly chocolate, cakey on the outer edges, and moist within, the brownies also come in expected flavors, such as ginger, pepper, coffee, and caramel with a layer of gooey filling. Some have intriguing names like Red Witch, with dried red cherries mixed in, and Snow Witch, a moist cake made entirely out of white chocolate. With the exceptions of brownie-shaped creations—tangy lemon squares and rice crispy treats studded with brownie bits, it's all about brownies here, proving that it pays to focus on one thing. — Nancy Davidson
