Mail order cookies, cakes, pies, and other sweet treats are better (and more prolific) than ever, and that’s a good thing this holiday season.
It seemed like a great idea at first: Desserts are a must on the holiday table so why not bake a couple from scratch? But you still have to run out and do some last minute shopping. And you’re definitely going to hit the grocery store a few more times (it doesn’t help that your nephew decided to go full keto recently). Oh, and now the oven is acting up.
Sometimes it’s best to play it safe and let someone else handle the heavy lifting. We’ve rounded up a bunch of sweet standouts that can be ordered directly to your door. It’s pie season, so we’ve included of several of those as well as cake, cookies, and a non-baked ice cream addition because when it comes to dessert, the more the merrier.
Vanilla Salted Caramel Cake by Ovenly, $79 from Goldbelly
Goldbelly
This article is intended to bring some relief to the holiday dining and/or gift giving process, but let’s be honest, trying to decide which incredible dessert to order from Ovenly can be stress-inducing. The New York-based bakery has a number of delicious options including not-quite-classic “secretly vegan” Salted Chocolate Chip Cookies and a Black Bottom Pecan Pie that is pure decadence. But it’s the Vanilla Salted Caramel Cake that, well, just might take the cake. The key is a double dose of caramel, whipped into the buttercream and drizzled on top that makes this sweet treat an absolute showstopper. Buy Now
