About this business
Mrs. Backers Pastry Shop was opened in 1941 by Martin Backer. His Son and Daughter-in-law currently run the Show along with two of their children. The Backers come from a long line of Bakers that came to Salt Lake City in 1926. We want to make the same high quality beautiful desserts that we learned from our fathers. We make everything from Danish to Cookies, Cakes to Éclairs and we love that this brings us to your home and your big life events. It's an honor to be trusted by each of our customers!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! We found you from out of town and were very please with the outcome of the cake. You are the best bakery in SLC!!! We appreciate you! Performance Designed Products, Sherman Oaks, CA
Beware: Better check what they make for you! – I saw the review where they made the wrong cake for a birthday party, then told the customer they would not "make it right" unless they brought the cake back (right, take the cake away from 5 year olds & say, sorry!). Well, I ordered a cake for my daughter who goes to school in Salt Lake City (I now live near Atlanta). I was explicitly clear in my instructions for what I wanted. The young girl took the order down correctly, but the baker screwed it up & they made the wrong cake ... read more
...wow – Not sure how there can be a bad review on Bakers. My mother used to go to church down the street from Bakers. Every day after church, her father and mother would meet up at bakers with her and her sister and they would buy a gingerbread cookie. Now, anytime someone is in Utah, they bring us back a bakers cake or 2 dozen gingerbread cookies. It is the best bakery.
Best Customer Service – I don't know what you are talking about. Backers never yell at anybody. They have some of the best customer service of any of the stores I have gone into. I never wait more that a minute until someone is there HAPPY to see me. Mrs. Backer is a 60 year old lady. She does not go around doing all the things you say. Get a life! I commend any business that has been in this city as long as they have. They MUST be doing something right.
Glad Other Bakeries Have Opened – I would never recommend Backer's Bakery to anyone, there are so many other charming bakeries in town now with people that are actually HAPPY to see you when you come through the door! I don't like going somewhere where even the owner treats you badly. The cupcakes weren't great, I know they are the trend now so Backer's has jumped on board, I don't blame them for that, but there are darling cupcake shops in town with fantastic baked goods and great employees. All I can say is steer clear of ... read more
Why are you yelling at me, I'm your customer! – I used to come to Backer's as a little girl and have always had fond memories but have lived out of town for years. I came to visit Backer's Bakery for out of pure nostalgia but popped into the art gallery next store first- when I came out, I was met by Mrs. Backer herself, yelling that I was parked in HER parking lot- well I am HER customer! Or WAS, at least. It makes me sad because I held Backer's in such high regard, but I will NEVER visit there again.
Edible Art Beautiful Wedding Cakes! – My family has been using Mrs. Backers for all our most important occasions for generations. They make the most beautiful cakes in town! The flowers are gorgeous!!! Unlike any you have ever seen. The cakes and frostings are wonderful. Including the buttercream which as you know makes the most beautiful frosting but not always the tastiest.
Frowny faces and Dry Cake – I have been to Mrs. Backers Bakery several times, never again. The girls behind the counter frown and seem scared, maybe of Mrs. Backer. I like the idea of bakers being "fat and happy" not tight lipped and snappy. With so many great bakeries in downtown Salt Lake there is no reason to have a bad customer service (and dry cake) experience at this one.
Very disappointed – So disappointed. I've heard so much about Mrs. Backers. The service made me feel as if I were intruding into their special world. Not at all friendly. I was very disappointed by the cake. Dry and the size was also disappointing. I can't understand their reputation. Doesn't work for me.
