Cakes
It’s soft, sweet, and nostalgic in the best way, with that rich vanilla flavor and the signature crunchy crumbs layered inside.I love that it feels fun but not too heavy, and it’s actually the one I keep coming back to.
Birthday Cake
Soft, sweet, and just a little bit addictive. These taste like strawberry milk and vanilla cake had a baby but with that classic Milk Bar twist. I keep them in the fridge and grab one when I want something sweet without cutting a whole slice of cake.
Strawberry Shortcake Truffle Dozen Box
It’s soft, super chocolatey, and hits when you want something sweet without baking or spending $8 on a slice. I keep one in the freezer for last-minute cravings or lazy weekend desserts. Don’t sleep on it, just let it thaw a bit and enjoy.
Pepperidge Farm Frozen Layer Cake Chocolate Fudge
This loaf is soft, sweet, and just the right amount of fruity. The peach and raspberry combo makes it feel kind of special, like something you’d serve at brunch,
Wellsley Farms Peach Raspberry Loaf Cake
It’s soft, buttery, and tastes homemade. I keep one in the freezer for lazy mornings
My Grandma's 28-oz Coffee Cake
Pies
This is rich, gooey, and buttery in the best possible way. It’s like a brown sugar caramel pie with a salty oat cookie crust that balances everything out.
Milk Bar® Pie
This one tastes homemade without the mess. The crust is buttery, the apples are soft and cinnamony, and it makes the whole kitchen smell like a hug.
Wellsley Farms 9" Baked Homestyle Apple Pie
This one’s light, creamy, and just tart enough to balance the sweetness. The meringue is soft and fluffy, and the lemon filling tastes way fresher than you'd expect from a store-bought pie.
Wellsley Farms Lemon Meringue Pie
Cookies
This has all 6 cookies that they sell which is perfect when I can't pick one because they are all so good
Assorted Cookie Tin
These are dangerously easy to eat. They’re buttery, crumbly, and the perfect not-too-sweet snack when I want something cozy but light.
Nice! Mini Cookie Bites Butter
These are simple, soft, and just buttery enough. When I don’t want anything too sweet but still want a treat, these hit every time. They’re even better slightly warmed up

These are like a Samoa, but easier to find and just as good. They’ve got that caramel-coconut-chocolate combo that hits every craving at once.
