5 Points is a Tucson spot best known for its hipster, local-forward brunch. Its bakery program, though, is stunning. Meet Chandler Donald, the young baker behind their extravagant cakes and gorgeous pastries.
You might have waited for a table to open up on a Sunday, loitering on Stone Avenue with hipsters in western chic and neighborhood cuties out for brunch. You’d recognize their dining room, flanked with natural wines and a pantry that looks like the coziest, bougiest farm stand in town.
“Even in recipe writing you can see their voice when they write it,” Chandler Donald, 5 Points’ current bakery manager, said. “I was reading a recipe from Savanah yesterday. This is a very Savanah recipe. If you’re trying to do it this way, do this, if you’re eating this right away, add the gelatin at this point.”
For a shiny price tag of $9, I can buy happiness in the form of Belgian chocolate cake with orange whipped cream and salted caramel Swiss buttercream, or a Lemon and Arbequina olive oil cake with local peach curd and Sonoran honey Italian meringue buttercream. The unconventional flavor combinations are often authorized by “The Flavor Bible,” which is like a thesaurus of tastes 5 Points owner Jasper Ludwig trusts almost as much as the Maillard reaction.
Cakes’ flavors are dictated seasonally, depending on what produce is at its peak in the area. Last winter, his first full-time winter on staff, Chandler was overwhelmed by citrus.
