Where to Order Christmas Desserts in Austin

Desserts are an essential part of any meal, but especially so during the holidays. To round out those Christmas meals at home, Austin bakeries and restaurants are making it easier to figure out sweets game plans by offering desserts for preordering. There’s everything from cookie tins from Texas French Bread, gluten-free pies from Gati, buches de noel a-plenty, and much more.
