One glance at the hot-pink cardboard box with the dark blue lettering and chances are you know exactly what’s inside. If any doubts remain, you have only to read the store motto, prominently printed on the lid: “Cakes decorated while you wait.”

Borracchini’s Bakery & Mediterranean Market, a family-owned business, has made its name by providing custom cakes and old-fashioned customer service for nearly 100 years. Founded in 1922, the bakery has been at its present location on Rainier Avenue South for the past 81 years.
