FREED'S BAKERY OF LAS VEGAS
4780 S. Eastern Ave., 9555 S. Eastern Ave.
Freed's has been the readers' choice in this category for about as long as there has been a Best of Las Vegas, not only because of the old-time goodness of its cakes and pastries — such as the fruitcake at Christmastime that's actually good — but also because the bakery has been canny enough to keep up with the times. The specialty now is wedding cakes, but if you'd like a Mango Cheesecake Tower of Cupcakes or a purse-shaped cake, this is the place for you (and a new second location makes Freed's easier to reach for folks in Henderson). Great Buns finishes a distant second.

ALBINA'S ITALIAN-AMERICAN BAKERY
3035 E. Tropicana Blvd.
We like traditional, too, but in an Old Country kind of way, which is where Albina's comes in. Sure, we like the crisp-crusted breads, but what we really go there for is pastries such as cannoli and sfogliatelle, and even non-Italian pastries such as baba au rhum, napoleons and eclairs. If only they could make them the same way they do now, but without the calories.
