9 Take Out Thanksgiving Desserts That Taste Like They’re Homemade

For many of us, Thanksgiving is all about desserts. Plural. Here’s a round up of some fab take home options, by local masters we love. You’ll be a favored guest if you carry any of these sweet concoctions into your host’s home, and if it’s for your fam, well game on superstar.

Next to Ourselves, We Like Ice Cream Best
Everybody’s fave Salt & Straw has some incredible November seasonal flavors.  They’re mimicking the flavors of the Tday meal via five styles of ice cream goodness. Here’s the full scoop: sweet potato and candied pecans, apple cranberry stuffing, salted caramel Thanksgiving turkey, pumpkin custard and spiced chevre and last but not least mince meat pie. They’re available all month long and best news of all, they’re donating one pint to Oregon Food Bank for every pint sold.

Grand Central Bakery is always a winner, aren’t they? From those kidtastic shortbread cookies in all kinda holiday shapes, to their frozen bake at home pies that make your house smell amazing, This Thanksgiving sink your teeth into one of their baked-to-order pumpkin or bourbon pecan pies or take home some of their seasonal breads for breakfast like Walnut Raisin Levain or Cranberry Pecan. And with locations all over our fair city, there’s just gotta be one near you.

No Pie Zone
Home of those colorful and delicious macarons, Pix Patisserie will be sure to garner more squeals of Ooh La La than when we were all rockin’ our 80’s Sassons. They’ve now concocted something called a macaronut; a macaron + donut. They also delight with delectables like a Chocolate Port Fig Tart and an Ichabod Creme. If you don’t make Thanksgiving a Fete du Macaron than attend theirs on November 30th and enjoy thirty flavors of free macarons, contests and a cupcake stomp.

St Honore is wowing with their usual French menagerie of yumminess.  For T day they’re upping their production of breads and rolls. Plus…they’re baking up a limited time only savory roll. That’s all they’d tell us. Hmm…mysterious and delicious. Like it. See if you can get some. Then go try and find Sasquatch.
