<p>Just wondering if any parents used this service or if any students got a gift from here. How fresh are the items? How do they taste? Close to homemade without being homemade? Thanks in advance for your comments.</p>

<p>The cookies are tasty (though very sweet). I haven't had one of the cakes but, looking at the price, I would guess that they're something along the lines of grocery store quality. If you are able to spend a little more and are more interested in taste than getting something that looks like a birthday cake, you might order a dessert from the Deli and have a friend of his pick it up. </p>

<p>As a local (and former pastry chef), I have more than once thought I should go into the student birthday cake and care package business. :)</p>
