Patrons whip up recipe to save bakery

Rick Dickinson, owner of Great Cakes in Westport, takes a cake order on Thursday morning from Chris Ahlgrim, a longtime patron who also bought a dozen cupcakes. Ahlgrim was one of many customers to support the shop since Wednesday after word got out that Dickinson would have to close shop Thursday if he did not come up with $4,000 for a town tax bill.
