Just Desserts: Holiday Treats from the Bakery Department

Handmade locally by baker Mary Pat Ingwell of Desserts by Alighieri, this sliceable stunner of a cake is a party-ready form of her customer-favorite tiramisu. It's classically made by layering light, airy sponge cake with smooth, creamy sweetened mascarpone and infusing it with the requisite coffee, liqueur and chocolate nuances. Available in the Cake Case.

Among the multitude of mini desserts available in the Pastry Case are our Signature Mini Pies. Every element of these tiny treats is handmade from scratch. A substantial sharing size makes them an ideal dessert for 2! Look for seasonal Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Tarts and Brown Sugar Pumpkin Pies as well as year-round favorites like Banana Cream, Chocolate Cream, Coconut Cream and Swedish Almond in the Pastry Case (select stores carry Mini Pies in the Cake Case). 

You can't miss with our Holiday Cookie Baskets, filled with three of our most popular holiday cookies: Spritz, Thumbprints and Russian Teacakes. They're great for gifting!

Our larger Holiday Cookie Trays feature more of the same cookies and are a go-to for parties.

Our Holiday Brittle & Bark Basket includes almond bark and chocolate almond bark, along with locally made peanut brittle. It's a gift any host(ess) will enjoy.

Our Holiday Treat Tray features a wide assortment of sweet nibbles, from candy popcorn and dipped chocolate sandwich cookies to indulgent toffee, malt balls, cocoa almonds, and chocolate-covered grahams and pretzels. It's perfect for gifting at the office!

This aromatic scratch-made cake features a sweet almond soaking syrup and a rich, decadent almond buttercream. The tender, fluffy cake layers are sandwiched with a light-as-air almond Bavarian cream filling, while the outside is finished with delicate sliced almonds – an inviting hint to the flavors inside.

Our new exclusive recipe is a sweet, moist pumpkin cake rolled around a super light and fluffy whipped cream cheese filling. This seasonal swirled cake joins our growing lineup of Signature Swiss Cake Rolls, which includes Boston Cream, Lemon Meringue and the OG chocolaty classic, Oh-Ohs. Each roll serves 3-4 and is available daily in the Pastry Case. Family-size rolls that feed 12-16 are perfect for parties and can be special ordered with just a few days' notice (inquire in the Bakery Department).
