FIREMAN DEREK’S BAKE SHOP

Fireman Derek’s Bake Shop, South Florida’s iconic treat emporium helmed by frefghter-turned-pie maker Derek Kaplan, remains the gold standard for notoriously decadent desserts in Miami-Dade and Broward counties. At 15 years old, Kaplan was squeezing limes by hand in his father’s apartment, perfecting the earliest rendition of his wildly popular Key Lime Pie for pocket change. Fast-forward to today, Kaplan has turned his childhood passion for pie into three thriving storefronts where he and his talented team of bakers churn out handcrafted, one-of-a-kind desserts combining rich, decadent favors in over 50 unique pies, cakes, cheesecakes, brownies, bars and cookies.

Amongst the stellar lineup of sweets, pie favors such as Key Lime, Cookie Monster, Salted Caramel and Brownie Bomb; decadent cakes and cheesecakes including Coconut Guava Rum, Strawberry Crunch, Red Velvet, Cookies & Cream and Nutella; and an array of baked goods including Chocolate Chip and Guava White Chocolate Chip cookies, S’mores Brownie and the Magic Bar.

The independent bake shop also serves a variety of handchurned ice cream favors inspired by bake shop favorites such as Guava White Chocolate Cookie Dough and Red Velvet Cake.
