Corporate
Corporate dessert catering and client gifts in Vancouver that aren't a fruit basket
Corporate gifting has a narrow band of acceptable options and most of them are tired. A fruit basket says nothing. A bottle of wine excludes people and creates an awkwardness about drinking. Cupcakes look like they came from a grocery store, because they usually did.
Cream puffs occupy a useful position: unmistakably made by hand, expensive-looking, and requiring nothing of the recipient.
They work in an office
No plates. No forks. No knife. No fridge required for the first few hours. A box opens on a boardroom table and the meeting continues. For an office birthday, that is the whole requirement — something appears, everyone has one, nobody is assigned to cut it.
They scale to a headcount
Twelve people, twelve puffs. Sixty people, sixty. We build to the number you give us, which makes budgeting a single multiplication rather than a guess at cake size.
They travel to a client
A boxed six is a complete gift. It can be carried into a meeting, left at a reception desk, or handed over at the end of a signing. It photographs well enough that clients tend to post it, which is more than a gift card does.
Common uses
Client thank-yous and closing gifts. Office birthdays and work anniversaries. Quarterly all-hands and team celebrations. Year-end and holiday gifting. Conference hospitality suites and speaker gifts. Realtor open houses and closing-day gifts.
How ordering works
We invoice for corporate orders, and we can set up standing monthly orders if you run recurring team events. For volumes above about eighty puffs we need two weeks’ notice; below that, our standard Wednesday cut-off for Saturday collection applies, with weekday pickup available for business orders by arrangement.
Pickup is in Metro Vancouver. We do not ship — filled choux does not survive transit, and a soft cream puff is worse than no cream puff.
Tell us your headcount, your date, and whether you want one flavour or a mix.
How to order
Two weeks above ~80 puffs, otherwise Wednesday cut-off
We bake to order in Metro Vancouver. Orders close Wednesday for Saturday collection, and everything is filled the morning you collect it. Pickup only — we don’t ship.
