Desserts by Sara
Lisa Kaufman started working with Desserts by Sara about 15 years ago and took over operations seven years ago. Last year was her first year at the Liberty Lake Farmers Market, and she said she's excited to return this weekend.

"We did really well," Kaufman said. "It's a great venue, and we were able to develop a pretty loyal customer base."

This week, Kaufman said the staff at Desserts by Sara is busy baking everything for Saturday's market opening.

"We bake a lot of everything every day," Kaufman said.

Some of the best sellers to return this year are mini apple, blackberry and peach pies. Specialty pumpkin or blueberry sweetbreads are also a customer favorite. Other market menu items include gourmet cupcakes, cookies, scones and cinnamon rolls.

This year, the vendor plans to introduce new items for market-goers with less of a sweet tooth - wine crackers and soft pretzels.

Everything at Desserts by Sara is baked from scratch, and local food sources are used as often as possible. For more information, visit www.dessertsbysara.com or stop by the bakery at 10502 E. Montgomery Road in Spokane Valley.
