In the world of decadent desserts, few names resonate as sweetly as Fireman Derek’s Bake Shop. Dreamt up by former firefighter turned baking extraordinaire, Derek Kaplan, this beloved bake shop has spent the last decade tantalizing the taste buds of South Florida with its irresistible confections. What began with a food truck and a dream has grown into a local institution with three thriving storefronts in Wynwood, Coconut Grove, and Fort Lauderdale. Now, Fireman Derek’s Bake Shop is celebrating its first double-digit birthday, marking 10 years of dessert dominance with special events and offerings for loyal fans.
