Located to the southeast, as far out in Henderson as I’ve ventured to date, Chef Flemming’s European Bakery is undoubtedly a trek from Summerlin but with plenty of good press backing the chef’s goods a decision to visit the small bakery persisted even when my original impetus to be in the area cancelled – the one hour round trip costing me a couple gallons of gas and $19.50 for nine pastries of superior quality and craftsmanship every bit worth the time and effort. A ‘mom ‘n pop’ outfit to say the least it was only the chef and ‘his lady’ that I encountered in the course of my thirty minute stay and with stories and suggestions aplenty an order was patched together from personal favorites and chef’s favorites, the latter mostly what was warm from the oven and each item save for a slightly dry cupcake impressive. From the nutty, laminated bearclaw to creamy bread pudding and a cream boller marrying concepts of a croissant and a Religeuse with its two types of cream half of each item was cut and sampled with the second half reserved for a friend and while deciding on a favorite is a difficult task I think the deciding factor was one of temperature; the buttery cinnamon roll with frosting still runny versus the custard Danish, still warm with a jiggly sweet center not unlike a Portuguese egg tart – itself an impetus to visit Henderson again soon.
