Hosting the Perfect Fall Gathering with Local Treats

Fall is the season for bringing people together: game days, harvest parties, Thanksgiving dinners, or just cozy evenings with friends. And nothing sets the mood like the smell (and taste) of homemade baking.

Here’s how to create a fall gathering your guests will remember:

1. Start with a Seasonal Centerpiece Dessert

Whether it’s a pumpkin pie, apple crisp, or a rich pecan tart, a standout dessert makes the table feel special.

2. Mix Sweet and Savory

Balance your spread with vegetarian-friendly quiches, cheesy breads, or a warm veggie casserole. These can double as side dishes and give guests variety.

3. Add a Personal Touch

Package mini loaves, cookies, or muffins in kraft paper bags tied with twine for guests to take home. It’s a sweet reminder of the night and (if we can help you out) a little marketing for us without being pushy. ;)

4. Pair with Seasonal Drinks

Offer warm apple cider, chai lattes, or hot cocoa. If it’s a small gathering, you can even create a drink-and-dessert pairing menu.

5. Order Early

If you'd like some help hosting and want your treats baked fresh for your event, put your order in at least two weeks in advance. Fall is one of our busiest seasons, and we hate saying no when we’re fully booked.

Hosting tip: Let us know the vibe of your gathering, and we’ll help you choose treats that fit the occasion - from casual tailgate snacks to elegant holiday tables.
