CAKES & COOKIES

Elegant Cheesecakes can turn your company product or image into magnificent cheesecakes and butter cakes ($95 and up). Click here for our review.
	Everything you see is 100% edible—even the bow. It’s not a box of candy or a box of cigars—it’s a cake with a decorated chocolate fondant covering.

Empire Torte makes the best dense chocolate tart in our memory—along with a classy and impressive presentation (6" torte regularly $44.99, but contact for corporate pricing at 1.508.393.1911). Click here for our review.

We’ve had many a pecan pie, and for our money, this pecan pie in a jar from The Great San Saba River Pecan Company is one of the best (22 ounce jar makes 1-2 pies, $6.95—call 1.800.621.8121, the website is under construction). Click here for our review.

COOKIES

Eleni’s Cookies does corporate logo cookies the traditional way, or mixed in with her clever theme and seasonal designs (sets in gift tins, $58.50). Click here for our review.

Rolling Pin Productions enjoys turning business concepts into edible art (prices vary based on complexity of design and quantity).

• Sweet Dreams Baking Company specializes in detailed shapes and will create any cookie you can dream of: a cookie that looks like your product, your logo, even the boss’s kids (3.5" to 4" sugar cookies, $3.50 to $4.50 each).

	Not just clothing, but anything your company produces can be transformed into a detail-design sugar cookie.

• Chocolove’s Chocolador holds 8 premium chocolate bars in a real mahogany plywood cigar box ($23 without company personalization; contact for custom pricing). Click here to read our review.

A genuine imported cigar box...	containing eight premium bars...	3.2 ounces each, for a total of 1.6 pounds of chocolate

	Pralines your clients will never forget— certainly we haven’t—are made by Cocoa Designs, in delicious flavors including Noir, Lait, Epices, Cafe, Aztec, and seasonal specials (tins $8.99 & $14.99).
Milk chocolate is just one flavor of exquisite pralines

Two of our favorite chocolatiers will customize their superb products with your corporate logo or image:

Pierre Marcolini, the man who made us love milk chocolate, will put your corporate logo or emblem, in edible gold leaf, on his magnificent chocolates (call 1.212.755.5150. Click here for our review.

Recchiuti Confections makes complex chocolates of the highest quality, impressive to the fussiest connoisseur, with a choice of truffle fillings like Recchiuti’s signature Burnt Caramel (a NIBBLE Editors’ favorite); Force Noir (silky 70% extra-bitter chocolate ganache infused with whole vanilla bean); or Columbian, Ecuadorian, and Venezuelan varietals.

	Cowgirl Creamery makes one of our favorite cheeses of all time, and will create custom-tailored gift boxes of artisanal and farmstead cheeses to share the wealth with those on your guest list (selections available at a wide range of price points). Click here for our review.
		And now for something completely different: St. Pat, above, is an organic whole milk cheese wrapped in stinging nettle leaves (with the “sting” removed),

Tsar Nicoulai Caviar helps you save the endangered Beluga, Osetra, and Sevruga salmon. If you want to give caviar, give their cousin, the American paddlefish sturgeon, or colorful and tasty whitefish caviar—regular plus infused with wasabi, ginger, saffron, and truffle flavors. For $250, you can give a hefty six ounces of each, plus a stack of blinis and crème fraîche.  For much $25, you can still give a lovely gift.  Click here for our review.
