What’s Available at the Bakery Now
As we head into the holiday season, we are already stocking our cases with lots of goodies, including gingerbread men, chocolate cupcakes with peppermint buttercream, frosted sugar cookie bars, decorated cutouts, jam thumbprints, pecan snowballs, Scottish shortbread and rum bites.
During this season of kind gestures, think about giving a neighbor, a favorite teacher, a co-worker or anyone else who you appreciate – or simply want to reach out to – a holiday cookie box or a festively wrapped loaf of banana or pumpkin bread.
Christmas Orders!
We hope to accept Christmas orders through Mon 12/17, UNLESS WE REACH CAPACITY BEFORE THEN. I will post something at the top of our website if we close out orders before Mon 12/17.
Please pick up your order no later than 2pm on Mon 12/24.
The specific items available for Christmas orders are listed below.
We hope you have a wonderful holiday!

Passover!
During Passover, JennyCakes will offer again this year our flourless chocolate cake. It’s a single-layer, rich, moist cake made with our best dark chocolate, then covered with a not so thin layer of ganache flavored with a bit of coffee liqueur. It does have dairy ingredients, and it is not kosher, but it’s my understanding that it can be eaten at a Passover meal where no meat is served.
Easter!
Our usual crazy amount of experimenting went into these hot cross buns. Really happy with them now — they’re not too dense and nice and browned on top, and they have lots of dried fruit (cranberries, cherries, golden raisins, currants, depending on the batch), spices that you can taste in each bite, and enough orange zest to give them just a little zing. Available through Easter.
And don’t forget our Easter cakes. We can make any design you’d like so long as it can be done with buttercream. Below are a few bunny and Easter themed ones we made last year. If you like any of these, when you order your cake, be sure to reference the image number under the Special Instructions.
Happy Spring!
Jenny

And the following goodies are doing their swan song until next year so if you’re going to miss them, order some now!
Have a wonderful end of winter. Here’s to a fun spring and summer!

One quick thing before I start in with the fun stuff. All of a sudden we’ve been having trouble with our emails and order confirmations landing in our customers’ spam folders. So, if you emailed me and didn’t hear back, or you placed an order and didn’t receive a confirmation, please check your spam folder and “whitelist” jennycakesbakery.net. Thanks! Jenny
