Best Eclairs in Utah?
City Weekly’s gave this the Best Eclairs designation in their 2009 Best of Utah. Since I have a daughter who loves eclairs, putting this one in the queue to try when the time is right and I’m in the neighborhood.

Carol’s Cakes
Carol, Schmarol … this hidden-away place in Sugar House is operated by Al, Bob and Jeff Walkenhorst–three guys who know their eclairs. And anyone who’s tried baking them know there is an art to whipping up the perfect pte choux, the pastry shell that has to be baked hot and high so it doesn’t deflate and leave no room for that heavenly filling. So Bob and Jeff have learned a thing or two over the years (the bakery has been around for decades). It’s obvious from looking at all their offerings, they’re perfectionists. But those dang eclairs–they’re impossible to resist.
