Today marks the official eight-month anniversary of Vee's Sweets and Treats, the storefront bake shop at 8005 Paseo where the owner, Allie Vee Toney, sells what may be the biggest apple fritter in town -- it's about 8-inches in diameter and as thick as a paperback novel -- as well as doughnuts, iced Long Johns, an array of luscious-looking cookies and her signature sweet: cheesecake cake. That's right, it's a combination of layer cake with a cheesecake-like topping. Today's flavors are strawberry, lemon and plain. Toney will give curious patrons a sample before they have to commit to a full slice.
Toney's shop also sells deli-style sandwiches -- brisket, corned beef, peppered beef, turkey, salami -- during the lunch hour. The summer hours for the shop are 6 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday and 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday.
