If you hang around here long enough, you'll notice that products sometimes disappear from our site. Most often these are seasonal items, like pumpkin bread or Valentine petits fours that need a specific ingredient that isn't available or only have holiday appeal.
Rarely, very rarely, it's because a bakery has dropped the ball once too often. I don't enjoy having to remove batches of products from our site, but our commitment to our customers makes it an unpleasant necessity. I'd rather we sell one product that we know will arrive fresh and on time than a hundred products that might never get there.
If you ever find one of your favorites missing, toss me an e-mail and I'll either tell you why it's gone or put you in touch with the bakery that makes it.
If you're just looking for something, and we don't have it, that's another matter. So I'm going to try an experiment here that may become a regular feature on the site.
If we don't have something you want, toss me an e-mail. I'll track it down on the web and post the URL here on the Bakeryblog. You can also use the Comments section to post enquiries.
I'll also post URLs for requests that come in over the phone. If you order something and you like it, let me know, and we'll see about adding their products to our site, as long as they can ship to the U.S.
To get started, here's a few requests from the last two days. Please note that we don't endorse these sites, we're just providing their information as a service to our customers.
For cake delivery in England, visit Caketoppers.co.uk
For egg-free cakes, visit sitckyfingersbakery.com
And for the gentleman from New York looking for Baked Alaska, I'll admit that I'm stumped. I don't think anyone delivers this, probably because of the ice cream involved, but if you're in Manhattan, head over to Delmonico's at 56 Beaver Street. They invented the stuff, and they've got it to go. You might want to stay off their web site though, as it's nothing but Flash.
