Carol's Pastry Shop
Located in the heart of Sugarhouse, Carol’s Pastry Shop has delighted Salt Lake City patrons with its signature pies, Danishes, and eclairs since 1948. For bakery owners Al and Bob Walkenhorst, Carol’s is more than a business — it’s their lives, and the relationships they’ve built with their customers over the past seven decades is what makes waking at up 5:30 a.m. every day all worthwhile.

Dale Myrberg is one of only four people in the world with the title of Yo-Yo National Grand Master. Dale has been practicing his Yo-Yo skills since he was a kid, and has performed with acts such as the Smother's Brothers, Donny Osmond, Telly Savalez, and Andy Richter.
