For custom-crafted cakes showcasing impassioned — even wild (thus the name) — designs, try Maria Ramirez’s bakery, which she courageously opened in December amid the pandemic.

11. The Bakehouse
A satellite of Ardsley’s Riviera Bakehouse, this commuter station staple stocks pies, tarts, cookies, cupcakes, breakfast items, and sandwiches tempt passers-through, while grab-’n’-go dinners are a mitzvah on late-night arrivals. Best of Westchester 2021 - Best Birthday Cake -

The baking starts early (4:30 a.m.) for Estelle Rocton-Pailhes, a Normandy native and NewRo resident whose pastry-chef mother trained under the famed Gaston Lenôtre.

17. Suzanne’s Table
“The key to a making a good brownie is to underbake,” says owner Suzanne Hart. To be most accurate, the thick, dark brownies at this prepared-foods shop are not good — they’re spectacular.
