Every holiday party needs a show-stopping dessert. Jarosch Bakery’s selection of decorated Christmas cakes will brighten every dessert table. Custom sizes, flavors, and decorations are available: call or stop by and our friendly staff will assist you in designing the perfect holiday cake!
For a chocolatey Christmas, you'll want to serve the White Chocolate Curl Cake for dessert. This 7" cake offers a chocolatey surprise with three layers of devil's food cake with chocolate buttercream between them. We ice the cake with buttercream icing and cover it with sweet white chocolate curls, then we add a pop of color and sparkle with a red gum paste poinsettia, holiday sign, and pixie dust.
New this Christmas: The Princess Torte! By popular demand, we at Jarosch have created the torte made famous in the Chicago area by Swedish Bakery, which closed its doors last February after 88 years in the baking business. Swedish Bakery kindly shared their recipe for the Princess Torte with us! It has layers of buttery yellow cake with homemade whipped cream and custard fillings. We then ice the cake with whipped cream and enrobe it with scratch-made sage green marzipan. Finally, the torte is finished with a lovely buttercream rose embellishment and pearl drop borders. Available by ORDER ONLY.
Available by ORDER ONLY! The classic Christmas pairing of peppermint and chocolate come to life in our Peppermint Ganache Cake. Peppermint buttercream provides the filling and icing surrounding three layers of devil's food cake. For that extra chocolatey touch, ganache is drizzled down the sides and decorated with peppermints. If you love peppermint hot chocolate, this one's for you!
Add sparkle and shine to your dessert table this year with our Snowflake Cake. Soft, vanilla white cake is layered with white chocolate mousse buttercream filling and covered with icy blue buttercream. A pearly sheen, sparkling pixie dust, and sugar snowflakes provide the wintery finish to this gorgeous cake.
Add fun and festivity to your table with the Christmas Whipped Cream Torte! Strawberry cream filling is sandwiched between three layers of white vanilla cake-- one pink, one green, and one white-- and iced with fluffy homemade whipped cream. For even more color, red and green sprinkles cover the sides and the top is adorned with Christmas decorations. Since it's whipped cream, don't forget to refrigerate it!
Available by ORDER ONLY! The kids will love the Santa Face Cake! Choose from Yellow, Devil's Food, or Half & Half cake layers with buttercream filling and icing. Custom fillings and sizes are available!
Available by ORDER ONLY! Nothing looks more like Christmas than our Wreath Cake! Choose Yellow, Devil's Food, or Half & Half cake layers with buttercream filling and icing. Custom fillings and sizes are available.
Our gorgeous Yule Log is a traditional Christmas staple consisting of either Yellow or Devil's Food cake rolled with chocolate buttercream filling and iced in our rich fudge. It's festively decorated with gum paste holly and edible "snow."
Ordering a custom decorated cake for the season? Our "Let It Snow" decor creates a fun, wintery scene in a snow-covered forest with lots of hills for great sledding! Choose the perfect size and flavors for your party - just remember to order early!
Limpa Bread
Limpa is a Swedish Rye Bread and traditional favorite during the holiday season. The citrus notes and hint of anise create a soft, sweet loaf that pairs beautifully with jams, preserves, cream cheese, and even just lightly toasted with a little butter. We bake it only during November and December so be sure to grab a few extra loaves for the freezer!
Yulekaga
This Norwegian Christmas Bread is a rare seasonal treat found at Jarosch Bakery only in December! Candied fruits, citron, and cardamom give the buttery dough plenty of sweet and warm holiday flavor. Serve it sliced with a goat cheese spread for a Christmas appetizer or toast and serve it with a hot cup of coffee for breakfast. Available in one and two pound loaves.
Stollen
A well-known European holiday treat, Stollen has a long, distinguished history, having been baked for the first time at the Council of Trent! It is a buttery German Christmas bread filled with candied fruits and pecans that is spiced with mace and a bit of citrus, a perfect coffeecake with breakfast or as a light dessert. Choose your size - small or large - and choose your topping: Powdered Sugar, Cinnamon Sugar, Plain, or Icing.
Fruit Cake
It just isn't Christmas without Fruit Cake! Sure, it's a heavy loaf but that's because it's filled-- and we mean FILLED-- with a colorful array of candied fruits and nuts adding sweetness and crunch. And of course, rum extract adds the traditional flavor that pairs nicely with all of those fruits. At Jarosch, our Fruit Cake is wrapped with a bow and ready to go for the holidays!
Pfeffernüsse
Thankfully you don't need to know how to spell or say the name of these Christmas cookies in order to enjoy them! Pronounced "Feffer-noose-eh," these "pepper nut" cookies are German gingerbread cookies covered in peppermint icing and coated in powdered sugar. They're great served with tea or coffee and we pre-pack them in bags so you can keep a holiday sweet stash at your desk!
Springerle
While the dough is fairly simple-- butter, sugar, eggs, flour-- the process to make Springerle cookies is extensive. Once rolled with the various decorative designs Springerle are known for, these delicate, chewy cookies flavored with anise oil must sit and proof for hours before being baked for another long duration. The work is worth it though, as these lovely biscuits conjure memories of childhood and Christmastime in Germany.
Christmas Cupcakes
Bring color and character to your Christmas table with cupcakes from Jarosch. Our Christmas Cupcake Packs contain three yellow and three devil’s food cupcakes festively decorated for the season and already packed to go. This year we're offering the Cupcakes Packs in three different styles so be sure to let us know which ones you need when placing your order. You and your guests can also savor holiday flavors with our December Gourmet Cupcakes.

Christmas Petit Fours
Our Christmas Petit Fours will add a bit of sparkle and festivity to your holiday table! These elegant morsels have a thin layer strawberry preserves and buttercream between two layers of white vanilla cake. Sweet white fondant is delicately draped over the little cake and then finished with a touch of red or green spray, a buttercream Christmas design, and a sprinkle of pixie dust.
Santa Bellies
Add a little "Ho! Ho! Ho!" to your holiday with bright and festive Santa Bellies! To make these terrific tummies, buttery yellow crunch cakes filled with creamy buttercream are iced with sweet red fondant and finished with the classic Santa belt and buttons. For a bit of twinkle, we sprinkle the bellies with pixie dust.
Hot Cocoa Cups
Curl up with a Hot Cocoa Cup filled with delicate chocolate mousse! No cup of hot chocolate would be complete without a dollop of whipped cream, sprinkles, chocolate "steam," and a couple of cookies on the side. The best part? You can eat the mug too!
Fruit Cake Slice
We get it: Fruit Cake has a notorious reputation and most people have a Love/Hate relationship with this Christmas staple. At Jarosch Bakery we offer individually wrapped slices of Fruit Cake for that one person at every Christmas party who needs to have it each year. So if you're feeling adventurous or have a craving for Fruit Cake this season, stop in and grab a slice or two!
