If you ask us, online bakeries that ship have some of the best Valentine’s Day gifts around. What we mean is the best Valentine’s Day gifts are edible and delivered right to our doorsteps. Very few people have been known to turn up their nose at a pretty platter stacked full of warm cookies — or, better yet, a basket of cupcakes frosted and sprinkled to perfection. So, unless you have a sweet-averse Valentine, the fresh-baked treat idea is a good one. Especially when said treats can be easily ordered from the best online bakeries.
Instead of going the Willy Wonka route and turning your kitchen into a chocolate factory, switch off that stand mixer and enlist some help from the online pros. From Milk Bar to Levain and a bunch of other irresistible sweets in between, the 27 best online bakeries here will ship the goods directly to you or your beloved — no confusing recipes, sweaty ovens, or dirty pans required.
