Allie Ilagan: These artists whip up impressive displays in buttercream and cake, but we love them most for their geekiness, like Ron Swanson sugar cookies (available on Etsy) or a Battlestar Galactica wedding cake.
EnGee: Butter cakes only on the weekends are fabulous. A must buy!
Zoe Lukas: Our Hours: Mon - Sat 10-6 pm, Sun 12-4pm
Marcus M.: Sugar cookies are excellent!!! Melt in your mouth delicious
Réjane T: Peanut butter, oatmeal, and chocolate chip cookies all sooo delicious. More? Don't mind if do.
Jonathan Hoster: Located inside Reading Terminal Market. Cookies are half price ($1 instead of $2) starting at 4:30! But beware, the selection may be minimal at that point.

Visit Philly: If you can find the nearly invisible walk-up window, get red velvet cupcakes, sugar cookies, lemon bars and crème brûlée tarts. Read more.
Stephanie Kuo: The freshly-baked cakes, cookies, and collection of tarts at this eponymous dessert stand are made with sugar, spice, and sprinklings of culinary magic. Key Lime Pie is mind-bogglingly good; get two!
Gab Bonghi: This place is easy to walk by, so don't! This little pink house holds some of the tastiest gourmet pastries in the city.
