Here Comes Milk Bar, Here Comes Milk Bar, Right to My Front Door
From burnt cookies to not-so-sticky toffee pudding, I know all about holiday dessert disasters. To this day, I’m still not sure why my mom puts me in charge of sweet treats, but it remains my responsibility to bring the sugar to Christmas. This year, the best gift I can give my family is to take dessert casualties out of the equation and order the chocolate-mint goodness that is Milk Bar’s limited-edition holiday collection.
When I go home for Christmas, I trade the New York City winter for California warmth and palm trees, but I also trade my local Milk Bar bakery for a 45-minute, one-way commute to the Los Angeles location. Trying to make that drive on Christmas day is impossible, which is why I love that Milk Bar has next-day, nationwide delivery.
I can simply order in advance to make sure that my desserts will be on my doorstep before dinner. Bye bye dessert disaster, hello Milk Bar!
If you’re the exact opposite of a confection connoisseur like myself, I highly suggest you take advantage of Milk Bar’s delicious holiday collection before it sells out.
So What is Milk Bar All About?
Since 2008, Milk Bar has been flipping the script on your favorite sweet treats. The brainchild of James Beard award-winning pastry chef Christina Tosi, Milk Bar opened their first location in Manhattan’s East Village neighborhood. These days, you can find Milk Bar in several states across the US and in Toronto, making it easy to indulge in their definition-defying desserts, just like your favorite celebrities do.
Their Birthday Cake has become a staple in my annual festivities, and many of their other best-selling desserts are available (and well-loved) year-round. Their limited-edition, seasonal desserts have also gained a cult-like following, and they are oh-so-delicious.
You can schedule any delivery date you want up to 30 days in advance to secure your treats for the holiday season, ensuring that everyone will have a delectable treat to top off their savory Christmas dinner. Their fall treats sold out well before Thanksgiving this year, so be sure to order as soon as possible to make sure your desserts are made by professionals with impeccable delivery this holiday season.
Now, for the main event, let’s take a look at exactly what’s on the table with Milk Bar’s limited edition holiday collection:
Chocolate Mint Chip Cake (Limited Quantities Left)
This cake takes your favorite childhood ice cream flavor to the next level. Inspired by the classic chocolate mint chip flavor that you’d always get at your local ice cream shop growing up, Milk Bar has created an all-new and delightfully delicious cake that your loved ones will be talking about until next year.
It’s the ultimate holiday combo, sporting layers of double chocolate chip cake, gooey chocolate jam, mint chip frosting, minty milk crumble between the layers, and, my personal favorite, minty milk crumb and chocolate crumb on top.
This cake had me dancing in my seat the first time I tried it, so I know it will be an absolute hit at your family dinner this holiday season. I’ve already ordered one for myself and one for my best friend’s family – they’re not going to believe they’ve ever been through a holiday without this cake!
Peppermint Bark Tie Dye Pie
Peppermint bark is a holiday essential at my house, so turning this classic dessert on its head and cranking up the deliciousness by 200% is just *chef’s kiss.* Starting with a dark chocolate crust, this pie is layered with candy cane nougat and vanilla cocoa caramel, drizzled with dark chocolate, then topped with salty-sweet chocolate-dipped holiday pretzels.
This pie is everything, everywhere, all at once: simultaneously chewy, crunchy, gooey, salty, and sweet, making it the perfect addition to Milk Bar’s creamy, dreamy, and iconic seasonal treats.
Chocolate Mint Chip Cake Truffles (Update 12/16: Sold Out)
When I found out Milk Bar was releasing this new flavor for the holiday season, I RAN to my computer to pre-order them for my holiday dinner. These cake truffles are flavored with a minty milk soak, scooped into bite-sized perfection, and coated in mint chip crumbs. The petite morsels are packed with flavor and can last up to seven days in the fridge and up to one month in the freezer, which means you can satiate your newest obsession for weeks to come!
There are a few people in my family who are obsessed with chocolate and mint, but aren’t necessarily huge fans of eating full cake slices. These little bites of cake perfection are going to be amazing for their plates and their mouths. I already know that I am going to need several orders to make it through this holiday season.
When “Made With Love” Means I Ordered From Milk Bar
The holiday season is all about love, food, and fun, and Milk Bar makes sure that these themes stay constant all the way through dessert. These limited-edition treats will be the talk of the town during the holidays, and I already know that my picky uncle will love what Milk Bar has in store for us.
If you know that you can’t bake to save your life or are looking for the perfect treat to gift your best friend or significant other, then Milk Bar’s seasonal desserts and next-day, nationwide delivery will be a game-changer.
Solidify your favorite child status, and give your loved ones the gift of Milk Bar’s legendary and perfectly-packaged treats while you still can. Thank me later!
