SWEET TOOTH

If You Can’t Go to Your Favorite Bakery, Get Some Handmade Baked Goods on Etsy

Etsy is the marketplace for all things comforting right now, including dessert.

By Jillian LucasMay 18, 2020

These days, we’re all looking online for a sense of normalcy. We’re ordering groceries, necessities, clothing, to keep us living our lives like it was before quarantine (the best of our abilities). There’s one aspect that I didn’t think about until I was stuck inside: stopping at my favorite bakery for a pastry. While everyone else is trying to bake bread, I can barely get cookies to work out, so my only option is to look to the gods of the World Wide Web. Some of my local favorites are doing delivery, but they sell out quickly. That’s where Etsy comes in. The Wall Street Journal did a deep dive into why people are looking to the marketplace for their sweet tooth fix. We’re here to round up some stellar standouts in the way of scones (and biscuits and bread and cookies, but I had to keep up the alliteration).
