These locally made desserts come packaged for swag bags and can be delivered to events.
1. Through Sugarbuilt, Amelia Coulter creates artful, intricately iced sugar cookies, often based on decorative art motifs or architecture like the Brooklyn Bridge. Cookie flavors include lavender, chocolate-red chile, bizcochito (anise and cinnamon), and ginger-lemon. Cookies range from $3 to $20 apiece and a minimum of two dozen is required. Custom designed cookies are also available for a $100 fee plus the cost of the cookies.
2. For something lighter, Brooklyn-based Whimsy & Spice makes marshmallows in flavors like chocolate, caramel, cardamom, maple, and lemongrass. Six marshmallows can be packaged with a custom label and ribbon for $4 each. Allow at least two to three weeks lead time for custom orders of quantities of more than 20. Delivery is available throughout Brooklyn, Manhattan, and parts of Queens.
3. Andrew Sessa started Bundt: a Bakery in August, providing an array of miniature cakes made with the signature mold. Standard flavors include bourbon-pecan, banana nut, caipirinha sling, chocolate-chile, and lemon zest, and custom flavors are possible, as are icings. Standard cost is about $4 to $5 per miniature bundt cake, and custom packaging is possible. The bakery can also provide a selection of goods such as cookies, brownies, and other varieties of cakes.
4. WannaHavaCookie offers whoopie pies in flavor combinations ranging from classic (vanilla cake and chocolate frosting) to unusual (red velvet cake with peanut butter frosting and chocolate cake with raspberry frosting). Individually wrapped cookies start at $18 a dozen for orders of one to nine dozen; bulk orders of 20 to 24 dozen are $15 a dozen. For an additional charge, the company can add custom labels. Delivery is $20 within Manhattan and requires a minimum of 10 days notice.
