Fireman Derek’s Bake Shop Celebrates Fort Lauderdale Opening

Since launching his first brick-and-mortar location in Wynwood in 2014, pie master and entrepreneur Derek Kaplan has expanded his Fireman Derek’s Bake Shop to Broward County after recently opening the Fort Lauderdale location. The new site, located between Victoria Park and Flagler Village, boasts ample space, plentiful seating and a customer-friendly experience with a state-of-the-art kitchen. The new location will feature the same artsy feel as the Wynwood location, with neon signage and hand-painted, pie-themed murals stretched across the walls by Miami design gurus Chalk and Brush.

“Our move into the Broward market was long overdue,” Kaplan says. “We’ve grown exponentially since we opened our tiny Wynwood shop in 2014. Though it’s a good problem to have in these uncertain times, truthfully, we’ve been dying to bring Fireman Derek’s to Fort Lauderdale. As we continue to develop our business and refresh the brand, we need a space that works logistically and delivers a better experience for our customers. I’m thrilled to be expanding into a neighborhood where my bakeshop can thrive.”

Kaplan, a former Miami firefighter, became known as the Magic City’s ‘don of dessert’ by offering a selection of over-the-top pies, cakes, milkshakes and other delectable confections at his Fireman Derek’s Bake Shop. He will also offer his own line of hand-churned ice cream inspired by the bakery’s signature goodies; his Coconut Grove shop has been selling frozen cups since September 2020, shortly after he graduated from Penn State University’s Ice Cream School. 

Fireman Derek’s Bake Shop is located at 250 North Federal Highway, Suite 1, in Fort Lauderdale. For information on nationwide shipping, click here.

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
