Birthday parties and other special occasions are effectively canceled while the world practices social distancing in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t celebrate at home, perhaps while drinking some wine with friends — virtually.
Plus, a number of local bakeries are still open, offering cakes, pies, cookies, and more for home delivery. Eating cake while hanging out on Zoom isn’t quite the same as gathering in the same room with friends and family, but cake is always a good move.
This cakes-and-more delivery guide focuses on Boston-area specialty bakers, chocolate shops, and other local companies with a narrow focus on their treat of choice, but you may also have luck finding cakes and other desserts from some of the larger, less specialized shops that deliver. Russo’s, for example, has a great baked goods department, while shops like Savenor’s, Formaggio Kitchen, Allium Market, and Curds & Co. sell a variety of candies, chocolates, and other sweet treats. You’ll find those purveyors listed in the grocery guide.
Some of the shops listed below ship nationwide (or beyond); others deliver locally. Those details are noted at the end of each description.
