I have used Dessert delivery because I love their cakes, because a) they are delicious and b) I assumed they were backed on premises by a premiere pastry chefs. As a gift this year, I thought what would be a perfect gift for an elderly women with fine tastes that two dozen of Dessert Delivery's fine petits fours. To make sure I got my order in time, I didnt just observe their standard 24 hour notice, I ordered them 48 hours in advance. At the appointed day, I personally went over to pick up my petits fours. They were perfect, they looked perfect, in varying decorations. There was the candy cane decoration, the holly decoration, the present decoration absolutely perfect. 24 petits fours at a cost of $60 plus. Christmas day, I bring my gift over and I am excited at the thought. She has a nice gift for me too. Well when I open my box from nieman marcus, imagine my surprise to see a box of IDENTICAL petits fours, taste the same, the same decorations, no difference. We laughed at how odd it was we gave each other the same gift. Only problem, I thought my gift was baked on premises and I paid a premium price for it. My friend on the other hand, ordered them online at Neiman Marcus, 36 petits fours for $30 bucks. So, my thinking is if they dont bake the petits fours on premises chances are there is a lot of other product that can be bought for less somewhere else you can even find a nice picture of the same petits fours at horchows online site just search for petits fours \

Pros: delicous

Cons: who knows if they baked it
