UYE @ Chef Flemming’s Bake Shop

Love, love this pastry shop located in historical water street! Bear claws which are normally not my favorite has become my new favorite at Flemmings along with their banana whoopie pie and their decadent crème boller. The only thing I feel is missing is good quality coffee or other hot/​cold drink choices. They run out everyday of their popular items so definitely get there early.

I’ve been wanting to go back to Chef Flemming’s so when I saw Jessie was hosting a UYE there I was super excited. I got a chocolate whoopie pie, cheese danish and pistachio cheesecake. All were good but the best was Jaime’s cinnamon roll. I loved meeting so many Unilocalers! I had a great time thanks Jessie!

Pat on the back to Jessie for organizing, and kudos to Unilocalers for showing and supporting this adorable independent bake shop! I’ve been a regular patron at Chef Flemming’s for probably 3 – 4 years now, it’s nice to see that so many other folks regularly show the love. I also appreciate the opportunity to attach live faces to the profiles that I’ve seen waft across my inbox with ROTDs and UYEs. Hope to see y’all more often (especially if it involves some more amazing hi-​cal goodness). Who’s up for trivia at Shakespeare’s?

UYE at Chef Flemming’s for pastries?! I’m there! Thanks, Jessie, for setting this up. Having yummy blueberry crumb cake and getting to meet and catch up with my fellow Unilocalers was an awesome treat! I knew we’d take up the whole place in this tiny quaint bakery. The staff was more than helpful answering my questions on which pastries to buy, and they even took some pictures with us!
Till next time, Jessie! I’ve been enjoying my box of banana whoopie pie and nut brownies, so my tummy and I are very glad we came!

I have 500+ reviews over 3 ½ years, and I have prided myself on being one of the most elite of the Elite Vegas Unilocalers… There was one thing the majority of the OGs had done that I had not, and that was hosting a UYE. So I FINALLY did so this past Saturday at my favorite bakery in town: Chef Flemming’s Bake Shop on Water Street in my ‘hood, old school Hendertucky!
Not going to lie, despite my normal cool as a cucumber demeanor, I was rather stressed about this get together. Over 20 people had checked that they were IN, but I was still worried no one would show. Once Dana, Jaime, Angela, Nelson and others started filing in my anxiety turned to joy. All the cool kids were coming to eat sweets with me! The cutest young Unilocaler Petra even made an appearance!
The staff at Chef Flemming’s was very accommodating, everything that I had requested be available for the group was. There were lots of laughs, some crazy conversations and from what I could tell, every person that attended enjoyed at least one sugary sweet treat.
Major thanks to everyone that attended and helped me pop my UYE hosting cherry. I had so much fun, I am already working on another Hendertucky get together!

This was an enjoyable UYE. With fresh made Banana Whoopie Pies, Cream Ballers, Custard Danishes, and Bear Claws, what was there not to like? Everything was fresh and delicious, including the dense Chocolate Brownie with Walnuts that I took home to enjoy later. Amid bites of sweet goodness, it was pleasant to converse with previously known and just met fellow Unilocalers. The only disappointment was that the promised tray of requested goodies to be prepared by Chef Flemming never materialized.
Thanks to Jessie B. for arranging this function and introducing me to a superior bakery, and to the helpful staff at Chef Flemming’s Bake Shop who so ably served us.

Many thanks to Jessie B. for hosting her first UYE at Chef Flemming’s! It’s not often that I make the drive from my house on Mt. Charleston* all the way to Boulder City*, but this event was certainly worth the miles (*locations approximate).
Angela T., Jaime W., and puppy were leaving as I arrived, but I was so happy to finally meet them in person! Inside the bakery, I also met Jessie B. and Suzy H. for the first time. I backtracked to the pastry counter and picked out a pistachio cheesecake, princess cake, and the last sweet burger/​crème boller/​best thing ever. I don’t usually select monster pastries, but when the lady told me it was like a cream puff assembled on croissant dough instead of a pâté a choux shell, I was sold. It was over the top, but I found myself leaving less than half of this pastry for my husband, whom I had in mind when I bought it. He loved the layer of marzipan on the Princess cake, so we are definitely fans of Chef Flemming’s use of marzipan in several of his signature desserts. I had heard so much about the pistachio cheesecake, but found it light on pistachio flavor and was disappointed that it lacked a crust or other textural component. Regardless, it was glazed with ganache and tasty.
Then, I did that annoying mom thing where I made my daughter’s picture the first photo on the UYE page (sorry). Petra was pretty excited about the new shoes she received from Christie and Sarah-​Marie!

In case you didn’t get the memo: Henderson UYEs are taking over Unilocal!!!
And in case you missed this chill event here are the highlights for me.
H: Henderson. Old Henderson is charming and has it’s own rhythm which I welcome after a busy week.
E: Eat. Yes, we had everything delicious to eat. The Cinnamon Roll was my poison.
N: New Kids On the Block shirt worn by Teigan. Yes, she gets the Best Dressed Award
D: Dog. Yes, my dog was there and we were HAPPY to be outside staring at all the men from the Anger Management class next door. One even came up to talk to her. I was jealous.
O: Oh Gee Unilocalers were in da house and out on this day. Great to see everyone old and new!
I may not go to many events, but it’s ones like this with solid people and good eats that make me want to keep Unilocalin’.
Thank you to my gangsta Jessie for putting this together! You rocked it girl!

Got to hang out again and catch up with friends I’ve made and finally meet more UFC peeps from the ever growing Unilocal family. My Princess Cake was not quite the breakfast I usually have, but hey I couldn’t resist having my favorite dessert and although I did just pick at it the whole time, I made up for it later and finished not only the cake but the Truffle Bomb that I also ate. No regrets!
Of all the times I’ve been to Chef Flemming’s I’ve never had the chance to sit down in the adjacent dining room or outdoors for that matter. It’s pretty decent size and fit our fabulous group. It was great turnout for Jesse’s first UYE. She did fantastic and made hosting it look like a piece of cake! Thanks Chef Flemming and his staff for making desserts that some of us requested and thanks Jesse for hosting it here!

I’m pretty sure I was here.
After a night of drinking, ACT, dranking, Crazy Horse, drunking to sober up I finally arrived for Jessie’s rad breakfast bakery UYE. I forgot to check in or take pictures and what kind of Unilocaler does that? One with a massive headache and soon to hibernate a Saturday away.
The selection is always good here, I always stopped by on my way to the CSN location off the College exit. I favor the baked goods over the sweet savory creations though. I can’t remember any of the conversations I had, I did see little Petra again though! She’s the most behaved baby in the world, and El Nino was a natural holding onto a baby. I want babies now! But after I wipe out the majority of things I want to do on my bucket list. Umm, what else.
…
I can’t remember.
…
Hmm?
…
Anyway, I went to my truck then quickly went back in through the back door/​entrance and bought two big boxes of pastries.
I have NO idea why but that’s the kinda night I had.
Awesome UYE Jessie!

Big Mahalo to Jessie B. for putting on a very successful UYE!
As much as I enjoy hosting UYEs, I also love attending them when my schedule permits. You not only get to finally meet friends on Unilocal in person, or catch up with fellow OG Unilocalers, and even spend time with the cutest little Unilocaler, Petra…:) as well, but its a smaller intimate setting where you can chat and have great conversations with NO DRAMA while having a bite and supporting a favorite local business at the same time.
I would visit Flemming’s at least 3 – 4 times a month when we lived on this side of town, particularly for my three, favorites-​Cheese Danish, Bear Claw, and Banana Whoopie Pie, and when we returned yesterday that’s the three we shared with a Snickerdoodle, and something else that stopped me in my tracks called a Crème Boller-​at first glance, it looked like a burger (see pic!), and had whipped cream, vanilla diplomat cream, and bear claw filling sandwiched between a Danish (or Brioche?) bun smeared with Chocolate Ganache on top? The worker also added that those were made on Saturdays only… perfect for me, and you better believe its become part of my four favorite items. Was it three? Well its four now! IT IS ADDICTING!
Thanks again to hostess Jessie B., Chef Flemming and the rest of team Flemming’s for taking care of us, and sorry we took over the whole place (inside AND out!) But that’s how the Unilocalerazzi rolls… ALOHA!!!
Unilocal 100 CHALLENGE 2013−(41÷100) «Sweet Stop @ Flemming’s»

Sometimes you almost park in a fire zone. Sometimes you move your car so that you aren’t going to get towed. Sometimes you order just two pastries, but then go back for more. Sometimes you are preparing to go to a beer festival after the UYE. Sometimes you love Jessie’s leopard sweater. Sometimes you are so surprised that Isa is there with Jaime. Sometimes you love Dana’s plaid shirt and fold yourself into her for photos.

Thanks Jessie for setting up this awesome UYE. I finally got to meet some new awesome Unilocalers, as well as hang out with my existing Unilocal friends. I had the cheese danish, cream puff and a large coffee. Everything was superb as usual. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. Great baked goodies, great people, and great conversation!
