Bakery between Airport and Lindstrom

[ms. mika]

I will be going from the airport to Lindstrom to visit family and I'd like to stop at a great bakery along the way to pick up a cake and some pastries to give them. Any suggestions of something that won't be a detour?

Cakes: Cafe Latte on Grand Ave.

Cupcakes and Macarons: That place next to Izzy's on Marshal (Marshal & Cleveland).

Both of those are basically on the way. To get to Lindstrom, I don't think you'd go up 55.

The place next to Izzy's is Sweet's bakeshop. They will also do cakes to order ($$$).

Going up 55 to 35 isn't that far out of the way. . .

This thread may be of interest, because anything in St. Paul would not be terribly far out of your way: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/838951

Also, maybe, A Baker's Wife in Minneapolis is not far off 55.
