Head to Wonderland and you can score a slice baked by pastry chef Sarah Mironczuk, who recently opened Bakehouse 23 in South Milwaukee. The selection varies; but we have it on good authority that today's pies include key lime and "Bruised Pie," a vegan pie featuring blackberries, blueberries, sweet cherries and balsamic.
