Cookie and dessert tray with brownies, rugelach and fresh baked cookies

San Diego's Most Trusted Bakery & Dessert Caterer

Over 25 years of baking for San Diego offices, corporate events, celebrations, and catered events — and we have never lowered our standards.

Everything Baked In-House

Our bakery team makes every cookie, brownie, rugelach, hamentashen, almond horn, napoleon and 7-layer cake by hand in our own kitchen. Nothing is outsourced, and nothing is pre-packaged. That's the difference you taste the moment the tray is opened.

Authentic New York Deli Bakery

Rugelach, hamentashen, 7-layer cake, napoleons, almond horns — these are New York deli bakery classics, and we've been making them the same traditional way since 2001. This isn't generic catering dessert. It's the real thing.

Three Sizes for Any Group

Small trays serve 12–18, medium trays serve 25–35, large trays serve 40–50. Mix and match multiple trays for bigger events. Need something custom for a wedding, bar mitzvah or corporate celebration? Just call and we'll build it.

Custom Celebration Cakes

Beyond our standard trays, our bakery handles custom celebration cakes and sheet cakes in quarter, half and full sizes. Call or text us at (858) 353-5528 to order. We can't make substitutions or allergy accommodations: everything is prepared in shared pans, and nuts are in our kitchen, so we can't promise nut-free desserts.
