Busken. For cakes, pies, cookies of all kinds, coffee cakes, breads, and other baked goods, Busken Bakeries are a staple in Greater Cincinnati.

    I miss bakeries. You don't see them much anymore. I don't even think we have one around here. I still remember our hometown bakery in Enid, Oklahoma -- Quality Bakery. It was such a treat to get to go there. Their brownies were out of this world!
