Best of Kansas City: sweet memories

On the eve of The Pitch‘s 2010 “Best of Kansas City” issue next

week, we thought it would be entertaining and revealing to take a

backward glance at some of our past winners. Who’s still on top? Which

restaurants and bakeries had their 15 minutes of fame and are barely

remembered today?

Sweets — fancy desserts, breakfast pastries, humble pies — have always been a tradition in our “Best of Kansas City” issues. Looking back at past award winners, though, it’s sad to see that at least a couple of bakeries didn’t make it through the last decade.
