Local Bakeries for Thanksgiving Desserts

Treat Yourself—and Your Family—this Year

Article by Hayley Hyer

What is Thanksgiving without stacks of pies and delicious fall desserts? But, baking it all yourself can be a nightmare. We've all been there—you buy a ton of ingredients for desserts you're not very likely to make again, and it comes out looking nothing like the picture. It can feel like such a waste of your time and energy. There's nothing wrong with going to the pros and letting them take over your baked good needs. Here are three local options for the Instagram-worthy tablescape photos of your dreams. Plus, every beautiful bite tastes amazing too!

André’s Rolls Out a Taste of Fall

Everything André’s Chocolates makes is gorgeous, and their seasonal desserts are adorable, whether they are cakes, tarts, macarons or chocolates. Judy Goppert reports that they have gingerbread cookies shaped like pumpkins, turkeys and even squirrels and acorns. Plus, they have chocolate molds for all kinds of fall fun. Judy especially recommends their cider and hot chocolate—maybe try a cup when you go to pick up your Thanksgiving desserts.

In Love at First Bite at Queen Sweets + Bakery

For a non-traditional Thanksgiving, try the Mediterranean Queen Sweets + Bakery. Enjoy cakes, pies and tarts, all with the traditional Mediterranean flavors. You'll definitely want to hide back some baklava for yourself to make sure you have leftovers for the rest of the weekend. Danielle Jean-Francois also recommends going back for lentil soup and falafel—the savory food here is just as yummy as the sweets.
