If you want a great dessert on the table this Thanksgiving without adding more cooking to the day, picking up a bakery cake is the easiest solution. Paris Baguette’s seasonal cakes are your best bet this holiday season.
Paris Baguette’s seasonal lineup focuses on the richer side of fall—fig, caramel, chocolate, warm spices. You’ll find soft sponge layers, mousse fillings, and cookie-butter finishes that pull you back for another slice.

The Sweets Worth Bringing to Dinner
Paris Baguette’s Thanksgiving menu items are available through Nov. 30, offering a few easy, crowd-pleasing desserts for the holiday.
The Fig Jam & Cream Layer Cake has a rich fig flavor with little pops of seeds and pieces of fruit that give it that slightly earthy, almost honeyed taste. The frosting is light and whipped, and the fig runs through the layers enough that you get a bit of it in every bite.
The Cookie Butter Layer Cake has a warm, spiced cookie-butter flavor woven into both the cream and the topping. The sponge is soft, with a subtle sweetness.
The Cookie Butter-Topped New York-Style Cheesecake keeps things classic while adding a little extra sweetness. The cookie-butter layer on top adds a cozy, slightly caramelized note to the cool, dense texture of the cheesecake.
The Caramel-Pecan Chocolate Mousse Cake brings a deeper flavor, but the mousse keeps it light. It’s smooth and airy on top, with a soft chocolate sponge underneath. The caramel-pecan topping adds a light crunch, toasted nuts, and a warm sweetness that rounds everything out.
If you want something beyond cake, the Cinnamon Sugar Churro Latte has a warm cinnamon profile, and the mini churro croissants have a crisp, sugar-coated shell with a caramel dip.

Paris Baguette’s Christmas Collection
Paris Baguette’s Christmas lineup is available Dec. 1–25. The holiday cakes include bright berries, rich chocolate, and classic winter flavors. You get soft sponge and light creams, with ganache coatings, rolled layers, and fruit-filled centers.
The Raspberry & Cream French Roll Cake wraps a soft genoise layer around raspberry preserves and cream, then finishes with a smooth outer layer.
The Holiday Chocolate French Roll Cake stacks chocolate pastry cream inside a rolled cake, then covers it with ganache, giving it a richer profile that fits naturally into any Christmas dessert spread.
The holiday lineup also expands beyond cake. You’ll see pain suisse layered with custard and chocolate, berry-filled pastries, and winter drinks made with cinnamon, mocha, and white chocolate.
There’s enough range here to cover whatever mood the table’s in—something light, something chocolatey, something warm and pastry-like. Ordering one takes the pressure off figuring out dessert when everything else is already covered.
