Sweet pastries and sweet employees make for a sweet experience with a delicious ending! When you see how long this business has been around you would be surprised if you didn’t have a sweet experience. But there is more. I don’t hide that I have Parkinson’s. In addition to three delicious cookies, I also bought a bottle of water. When I tried to open it my mind was out to lunch and my hand just wouldn’t respond. One of the employees saw I was struggling. She gave me instructions as to how to open the bottle, with no judgment in her voice. I said my Parkinson’s sometimes makes easy things take longer time. I handed her the bottle and she opened it and handed it back. When she handed it back all her eyes were saying to me was love. I saved the bottle to use it again To remind of the experience. She didn’t make a big deal of the experience, which I appreciated. She just gave me no judgment or pity. She just gave me one more sweet experience ❤️

We went to Mrs.Backers and loved it! We got the little German Chocolate cake, Buttercream triangle, Pineapple Rum cake, and a molasses cookie. They were each so fresh and delicious. The Buttercream frosting was incredible. Can’t wait to go again.

Was in town on business from Nebraska. I happened to be driving by and The building just caught my eye. I just finished lunch, so cookies for dessert were perfect. And they were fabulous! I loved it so much I came for dessert two days in row.

Amazing pastries and cookies! We went in and got a few things then ended up going straight back in to buy more. Highly recommend to anyone for any baking needs

One of the best cakes I’ve ever had, moist, not too sweet, raspberry filling was delicious and paired with the cake perfectly. Definitely will be back to try other sweets.

Backer’s is a true Salt Lake original. Few flavors make me more nostalgic than their icing. The attention to detail on their pastries is pretty amazing. I can never get over how perfect the piping is on each individual cake and cookie. I love pretty much everything I’ve had and I’ve been coming since I was a kid. The donuts are probably the most slept on and delicious item. But you really can’t go wrong with anything.

I come to Mrs Backers for one reason. Their Danish Pastries. I’m leaving this review because I skimmed through several reviews and nobody mentioned them. They are to die for. Flaky beautiful and delicate Danish pastry, the right proportion of filling (I love the cherry the most and the cream cheese one is my second pick) and just a hint of spice… not too sweet, not too big; they are absolutely delicious and are the best in the valley in my opinion. Their cookies are good, the cakes are beautiful , the shop is hilariously pink and cute and needs no changes (if it ain’t broke don’t fix it), the location is good, the prices are fair and those DANISHES. Go get one. You will understand my dedication. Cheers!

This place is the perfect IYKYK type place. My family have been getting the best birthday cakes here for the last 30+ years. Unbelievable quality cakes and cookies. If you haven’t been here it is definitely worth stopping by to see what you have been missing.

Stopped here a few days ago and finally got around to sampling everything we got. We got a chocolate chip cookie, a chocolate parfait cookie, a chocolate sammie and a white cake and chocolate cake with raspberry slice.
The chocolate chip cookie and the Sammie were the best thing we tried, the white cake was next best, chocolate cake was after that and last was the parfait cookie though I could see why others would enjoy it. It was more of a sandy cookie but with chocolate chips added. Also, the cakes were slightly dry, the raspberry filling was too thin to really taste, and for me, the frosting was way too sweet.
All of the items seemed to be made from older recipes which triggered a bit of nostalgia in me. Cute place, decent pastries, worth a stop.

Wasn’t impressed … I’m moved from the east coast to SLC and I really a appreciate a good bakery …I drove by thought the retro outside was inviting ..but then I walked in and it smelled like a old nursing home ! No aromas of goodies.. just musty old house . There wasn’t much selection and I went with the cup cakes… I asked if they were baked daily they said yes … It was so dried out I threw it out my window while I was driving ..it almost had a taste of the smell of the place …. they need a serious updating .. there location is prime and the curb appeal lures you in but I def won’t be back to buy my sweets there
