Shawn Agnew, 50, of Westland inspects chocolate cake at Awrey's Bakery in Livonia, Mich., on Feb. 17, 2014.  It was a year ago that Awrey's Bakery, one of the few remaining iconic Detroit-area brands, avoided permanent closure in a down-to-the-wire purchase deal. The new buyers, Michigan residents Ron Beebe and James McColgan, bought the Livonia bakery from a pair of out-of-state private equity firms just hours before its equipment was to be sold at liquidation auction. The 200-some Awrey's employees were already out the door. In their place were auctioneers.  (AP Photo/Detroit Free Press, Jessica J. Trevino)  DETROIT NEWS OUT;  NO SALES
