Although we are still confined to 5 per group on a social outing and there are tears when milestone birthdays fly by without the pomp, this doesn’t mean you should have to miss out on making each celebration special by gifting cake.
An abundance of cake to say the least. If you’ve got a birthday, anniversary, special occasion, or even, just the urge to eat an entire cake—you deserve it—we’ve baked up a list of cake shops with a local twist delivering to your doorstep. Image Credit: Bob the Baker Boy

Paparch
If you’ve been craving the sweet melted ooze of Paparch’s signature burnt cheesecake, you’re in luck. The home-based bakery recently reopened its doors after a short hiatus due to the circuit breaker. But, make sure you’re quick on the draw, because slots for their divine cheesecakes sell out quick.
