CUPCAKES FROSTED Each day, the cupcake flavors change just a little (check online to see what’s coming up for the week). You’ll want to try the Lemon Lavender and the Chocolate Raspberry. If you want more than just cupcakes, check out the selection of macarons and cake pops. 7 SOUTH 1ST AVENUE WALLA WALLA www.frostedcupcakeshop.com

TWENTY-SEVENTH HEAVEN This scratch bakery does it all, from breads and scones to the signature coffee cake, bagels and pretzels, but there’s something special about the cupcakes—they are moist and satisfying with just the right amount of frosting. Though many flavors are classics, be sure to check out the matcha green tea cupcake for something off the beaten path. 1220 SOUTH GRAND BOULEVARD, SUITE A SPOKANE www.facebook.com/ TwentySeventhHeaven
Little Brother offers daily boards that have a little bit of everything to try.
Dining
Deru Market and Little Brother written by Cara Strickland JAMIE CASADY MET Jordan Cooper while both were attending the Culinary Institute of America to become chefs. After graduation, they moved back to Casady’s native Kirkland, where they opened Deru Catering in 2009, focusing on beautiful, seasonal and sustainable flavored dishes. In 2012, they expanded to Deru Market, making it even easier to experience their hospitality. Deru Market is open five days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner—try a wood-fired pizza or a freshly made pastry. Their next project was the Little Brother farmers market, intent on connecting locals with the people who grow and raise their food. The market is still running, but Little Brother became a restaurant in 2016, offering breakfast, lunch and dinner five days a week. Be sure to try a tartine (the wild mushroom is a favorite) and a little bit of everything with one of the daily boards—the Early Board includes nuts, fruit, bread and butter, house hummus, yogurt, granola, egg, jam, cheese and charcuterie, perfect for sharing.
