Halloween-themed treats? Yes, please.
If you’re not much of a baker or a maker and you are always stressing over what to treat your Halloween guests to, every single year, worry no more. There are plenty of bakeries in New York that can satisfy your taste for wicked goods and turn your party into sweet and spooky like never before.
Word of caution: make sure you know what you want because options abound and you might overload on sugar before you realized what’s happened.
Spooky cupcakes
If you like old-fashioned made cakes, cupcakes and cake pops, then you are going to love Sweets First. The business opened not so many years ago compared to other bakeries in town, but it gained momentum amongst New York’s cake lovers fast enough. They master some really good movie-themed cupcakes, and if you’re into anything from vanilla and dulce de leche to broccoli and cheese, they’ve got you covered.
Drop into Sweets First this Halloween. They’ll be spooky-ing cakes for sure and probably dropping prices around October 31. Cutest outfits received free cupcake of personal choice every hour of the day in the past, and free cookies were handed to little trick-or-treaters.
Decadent cakes
Take your pick for Halloween treats from Leli’s Bakery if you want custom decorated cakes and mini cakes. The bakery designs some outstanding products in the chocolate family, but they do outstanding work with just about any tasty ingredient. They’re particularly an excellent option for those who like their cakes not too sweet.
Even better? Owners come from Malta, so there are some cake options with a Mediterranean twist to the typical ones like brownies and cookies. The must try at Leli’s Bakery – pastries and coffee: well worth the drive to Astoria.
Addictive bonbons and salt caramels
Bonbon-o-holics, brace yourselves this Halloween because it’s artisan Halloween bonbon time again. And who can pass on a treat as chocolaty as this?
Head over to Nunu Chocolates for some salt caramels hand dipped in chocolate and other rich treats that you can hand out to kids, friends and family this holiday, and if you want a memorable fright-night party, have your guests tasting their assorted boxes.
Ghoulish candied apples and other delights
A Halloween staple, you can make some trick-or-treaters extremely happy this year with Li-Lac Chocolates caramel apples. In fact, they have a pretty good assortment of Halloween sweets ready already if you want to jump start your Halloween shopping ahead of time.
Choose candy corn, Halloween balls, ghost pops, pumpkin face chocolate, bat pops and mummy in a coffin and you’ll be the sweetest spot in the neighborhood.
