Yeah, you're a functioning adult (basically) and you can follow a recipe (barely). You've made a pie or two (roughly). But if you're being truly honest with yourself, you're not a baker (sadly). Or perhaps you are, but you've got enough on your plate with savory feast prep. During pie season, why not let Seattle's sweetest professionals help?

From traditional favorites to fantastic Asian-influenced fusions, bakeries are getting ready for every Christmas party, Menorah lighting, Kwanza celebration, and annual Festivus airing of the grievances.

Just be sure to mind the fast-approaching ordering deadlines for these bakeries — the only thing worse than baking a bad dessert is forgetting to order a good one.
