Bakery (for cake) near Union Square NY area?

[cruzfvr]

Does anyone know of a bakery that will deliver a decadent cake to a dorm room near Union Square in NYC? We want to surprise our daughter and her roommates (NYU) during move-in week this coming August. This will be their sophomore year, first in NYC as they are just finishing their freshmen year in Italy. Wanted to do something special for them!

Thanks, Debbi

You should go to the collegeconfidential dot com site and post your question on the NYU boards:

Or in the Parent Cafe:

Someone always has an answer!

 

I guess I just like message boards with the initials cc!

Probably the best bakery in New York City. They are on East 11th Street. If you order online, they will deliver anywhere in NYC. They really are fabulous!

Ooooh, after reading the above article, I must change my mind and suggest you order a cake from Fairway.

There's also Ferrara Cafe in Little Italy. Another great Italian Bakery.
