These delectable deliveries make the perfect gift. You don’t need a special occasion — say, a birthday or anniversary — to order cake delivery. From Baked By Melissa to Sprinkles Cupcakes,


and The Original Crumb’s Bakeshop (yes, they’re back, and we couldn’t be happier), we whipped up the sweetest edit for you to shop from. Product Spotlight We’ve also rounded up the best


cookie and chocolate delivery services, but you could say the below cake shops are the _crème de la crème_. So, whether you’re shopping for your S.O, your mom, or even yourself, treat


yourself to one of the top tastiest treats. _To maintain freshness ensure your perishable goods are stored in your refrigerator as soon as possible upon shipment._ PROS: * Incredible


presentation and selection * Flavors change frequently * Positive customer reviews on flavors CONS: * More expensive As a company with riveting acclaim, Georgetown Cupcake bakes from DC and


will ship right to your door, making it one of our favorite online cake delivery places. Not only is this a personal favorite we ordered for a past holiday party but its Best-Seller Cupcake


Dozen ($76) has all the hits that are perfect for entertaining. For more options, check out Goldbelly’s full suite of cupcakes. SHIPPING: Delivery time is subject to the local carrier. If


you are placing an order for a time-sensitive event, Goldbelly recommends placing your order early and scheduling it to arrive 2+ days before your event. ------------------------- BEST CAKE


AND CUPCAKE DELIVERY NYC: BAKE ME A WISH PROS: * Plenty of holiday flavors and styles * More than cakes and cupcakes * Gluten-free options CONS: * Somewhat less detailed/decorative than


other companies When it comes to cakes, Bake Me A Wish is one of our favorites for indulgent, ready-to-order cakes. Its variety is astounding, its freshness is some of the best we’ve tried


and its Salted Caramel Chocolate Cake ($65) just _looks _heavenly. To browse other treats, check out Bake Me A Wish’s full suite of cakes — including cheesecake. The brand also offers


gourmet cupcakes for delivery (double win!) SHIPPING: All orders must be completed by 4:30 P.M. Eastern Time to be processed that day and be eligible for next-day delivery.


------------------------- PROS: * Variety of different treats — cakes, cookies, cheesecake, cupcakes, and famous bread pudding * Same-day delivery options are available for select products


through Doordash CONS: * Not a great option for those who are gluten-free Yes, Magnolia Bakery does more than bread pudding! The iconic bakery, based in New York City, also makes delicious


cakes and cupcakes that can be delivered straight to the door of someone you love. Check out the Flourless Chocolate Cake ($73) and “Best of Magnolia Bakery” Date Night Sampler Pack ($70)


for great Valentine’s Day options. Or, if you’re interested in trying the Magnolia classic, we recommend the Banana Pudding Lovers Sampler Pack ($84). There are some wonderful cheesecake


delivery options, too. SHIPPING: Magnolia Bakery offers nationwide shipping on select products in our Magnolia Bakery Online Store. You can make and schedule orders for same-day pick-up or


delivery using the Doordash partner portals. ------------------------- BEST CAKE DELIVERY: MILK BAR PROS: * Consistent and generally positive reviews on flavor and presentation * Great for


birthday cake delivery * Bundle and save CONS: * A smaller selection of holiday options When in doubt, opt for Milk Bar’s 6″ Birthday Cake ($62) to ring in another year (either for your


birthday or your bestie’s). Delectably, the brand’s fresh rendition of the Vanilla Funfetti Boxed Cake is beyond compare, as is its “nostalgically sweet” layers of creamy frosting. But, for


February, we would recommend the limited-time 6″ Red Velvet Cheesecake Cake ($65), which features rich layers of double chocolate red velvet cake and frosting, cheesecake filling, and red


velvet crumbs. For more options, check out Milk Bar’s full suite of cakes. SHIPPING: Select delivery date at checkout, up to 30 days in advance. Milk Bar can not guarantee a specific time on


the day of delivery, but most orders are delivered by 9 P.M. ------------------------- PROS: * Oprah-approved cakes * Most cakes serve a large party * Made-from-scratch CONS: * Fewer


options than some other companies Home of Oprah’s favorite Key Lime Bundt Cake ($46), We Take the Cake is one of the most popular, gourmet cake shops on Goldbelly. The creations from this


made-from-scratch bakery are as beautiful as they are delicious, according to reviews. With February here, there’s hardly any gift as impressive as a rose-embellished chocolate cake.


Luckily, We Take The Cake has us covered with this Peanut Butter Cup 4-Layer Cake ($90). Enjoy luscious layers of rich chocolate and peanut butter cream frosting. Keep in mind that this


four-layer cake serves eight to 10 people. There will be a bite for everyone! SHIPPING: Delivery time is subject to the local carrier. If you are placing an order for a time-sensitive event,


Goldbelly recommends placing your order early and scheduling it to arrive 2+ days before your event. ------------------------- PROS: * Different size options (jumbo, regular, and mini) *


Lots of sprinkles and elaborate details on each cupcake * Famous for the delicious fillings CONS: * More expensive _Guess who’s back, back, back. Back again…_ The Original Crumb’s Bakeshop


re-opened its glistening doors (online at Goldbelly!) to provide full-fledged access to every sweet-toothed fan since its origination in 2003. Its make-your-own JUMBO Cupcake pack ($100) is


rich in flavor and variety — a marvelous choice, but only if you’re willing to carve out some cash. For more options, check out The Original Crumb’s Bakeshop’s full suite of cakes, cupcakes,


and more. SHIPPING: Delivery time is subject to the local carrier. If you are placing an order for a time-sensitive event, Goldbelly recommends placing your order early and scheduling it to


arrive 2+ days before your event. ------------------------- PROS: * Lots of sprinkles and different details * Many delicious fillings, per reviews CONS: * Smaller window to order holiday


bundles * Some things require local shipping How prim-and-perfect does Sprinkles Cupcakes Favorites Dozen Box look? Simply ideal for your next party or celebration-worthy occasion, this


brand has it all: red velvet, vanilla, dark chocolate, and sprinkle. Our mouths are salivating with all this buttery frosted goodness. If you have a sweetheart with a sweet tooth is a sure


bet — filled with twelve cupcakes adorned with dainty love-inspired details, piles of sprinkles, and unique seasonal flavors for an ultimate tasting party. For more options, check out


Sprinkles Cupcakes’ full suite of cupcakes. SHIPPING: Local delivery and pickup options are available. Shipping times depend on location. ------------------------- PROS: * Beautiful


packaging * Wide selection of cakes, cupcakes, as well as fruit, and savory baskets * Good for those looking for something impressive but also budget-friendly CONS: * Mixed reviews on


freshness Harry & David has so many options, you’re sure to find something fantastic tasting for whomever you’re shopping for. From savory gift baskets and fruit baskets, they also have


sweets like this GP Deluxe Bakery Tray ($160), which has everything from cheesecake to baklava to chocolate decadence cake. SHIPPING: Standard Shipping charges are applied. Standard rates


are based on the non-sale price, as detailed in the charts here. ------------------------- BEST COOKIE CAKE DELIVERY: 1-800 FLOWERS PROS: * Options for personalization * More than cakes and


cupcakes — also lots of treat baskets, flowers, etc. * A variety of flavors, ranging from unique to classic * Options for vegans * Same delivery in select locations CONS: * Not as many


options for those who are gluten-free 1-800 Flowers may be your go-to service for an apology bouquet or last-minute present, but the quick gift delivery service also offers a wide variety of


cakes and cupcakes. It’s truly a one-stop shop when dessert is concerned. Plus, there are many larger dessert options that can feed an entire dinner party. If you’re interested in trying a


classic cookie cake, take a look at the Customizable Sugar Cookie Cake ($43) — a much more thoughtful option if you want to send a personalized message to your loved one. SHIPPING:

Service. ------------------------- PROS: * Variety of flavors * Same-day delivery in Manhattan * Cupcake assortments available in various sizes * Gluten-free options available CONS: * $32

brim with miniature cupcake favorites. Baked By Melissa also offers same-day delivery in Manhattan. For bite-sized cravings to ship to a friend or loved one, consider one of the brand’s


bestsellers. You’ll find delectable options in the flavors Cookie Butter Brownie, Blondie, and S’mores. SHIPPING: There is a $32 minimum for shipping orders. All orders ship with one of the
