4. An array of items for the foodie or gourmand on your list from Rosario Pinos.

Buyers can have baskets created to their tastes and price preferences. Other items include gift cards to be used for classes, chef tables and all products within the store.

5. An assortment of mini desserts from Pudgy Girl Bakery. A good hostess gift should be for the host or hostess themselves to enjoy after the guests depart, not something to contribute to the overall spread. Everything is vegan and delicious. Most items are gluten free. A 1/2 dozen of truffles for $15.00 (variety pack) and/or a 4 cheesecake sampler for $15.00. Order by phone (585) 203-2894 or email [email protected]
Pudgy Girl Bakery, order by phone or email, pick-up at the East Ave. kitchen or ask about delivery.
