When there’s too much to do and no time to bake cakes, pies, cookies, and other Christmas and Chanukah confections, you go where the locals in your area go to sweeten up the holiday festivities.
I am a baker. The last thing I ever expected to do, was ask people where they buy their holiday pies , cookies, cakes, and other delcious baked goods.. My friends and family have always asked me to bring one or more of my homemade desserts to every gathering, holiday or not.
I’ve baked some incredible pies, cakes, cookies, brownies…etc throughout the years. My Dutch apple crumb, pecan, coconut custard, and blueberry pies seem to be the most requested. This time of year the rainbow cookies, and the cherry pie are also big on the list of requests.
I sifted through posts on the foodie pages on social media and message boards to find out where the locals are grabbing their holiday baked goods this year.
The people have let us know about their favorite places in Monmouth & Ocean to buy the freshest, most delicious pies, pastries, cookies and more for their holiday tables.
I wanted to keep the list short this year because some folks said they were getting dizzy from too many choices and were becoming indecisive. So a short list it is.
Thanks to dozens and dozens of baked goods lovers for helping me compile a list of places that you can shop for a tasty dessert for your holiday table.
I kept it to our local Monmouth and Ocean County community.
