Gifting NY Cheesecakes

[Mark Silver]

I’ll settle for a cheesecake gift certificate and wait until you figure out a packaging and shipping plan. Or bring one with you if you ever visit Idaho. Happy Hanukkah, Brett!

Great option for international shipping coming your way in a couple of days. Bearded bloke with a red suit. Says "ho ho ho" so quite recognisable. Just ask him to drop off on his deliveries!

he'd probably eat it and claim it was "lost in shipping."

Back in the 70's early 80's there was a restaurant called "The Rusty Pelican" in Alameda. It was a favorite of ours, I even proposed to my bride there. They made the most amazing Cheesecake, when making reservations, you had to reserve yours when you made your reservation and if you were a walk in, you better have Power Ball Winning luck if you were to get a piece. You might want to re-toy your business adventure, there is always a market for exceptional Cheesecake!

i used to make and sell them locally. proof of concept exists. sales were easy to come by. but turning a small hobby into a business is the challenge. each done cake is 4# 10 oz. 8 slices per cake is 9.25 oz per serving. that's kinda huge. my COGS on cream cheese per cake is now $6.66, plus all the other ingredients.

Gifting an unobtainable item is one of life’s pleasures.
