Former Miami firefighter Derek Kaplan's Key lime pies were legendary among Miami firemen, and in 2013 he launched his award-winning bakery, Fireman Derek’s Bake Shop. Now, Derek's pies and other baked goods are legendary throughout all of Miami!
Today, the South Florida-based bakery specializes in handcrafted, one-of-a-kind desserts that have everyone in Miami talking. Derek continues to combine rich, decadent flavors in over 50 unique pies, cakes, cheesecakes, brownies, bars, bread puddings, and cookies. One of his signature pies is the Salted Caramel ‘Krack’ Pie. Baked in an oatmeal cookie crust, this crowd favorite oozes with a thick, sticky salted caramel filling that melts in your mouth. If that doesn’t have you drooling, there’s Derek’s number one pick: the Key Lime Pie. Perfectly sweet and tart, this star dessert has Miami New Times “confidently claim as Miami’s best key lime pie.”
