FAMOUS FAVORITES

Lithuanian Bakery’s Napoleon Torte is shipped to all corners of the U.S. The three-day labor of love is made of 17 layers of wafer, vanilla and lemon buttercreams, with a luscious apricot center. Available by the slice, Wheatfields’ Strawberry Wedding Cake is a light-as-air treat with a local cult following. Another extra special treat can be ordered at Early Bird; their massive 10” “The Bob” donut is a birthday favorite.

ICE CREAM

Coneflower Creamery crafts their artisanal ice cream and treats from locally sourced milk, cream and fruit. Ted & Wally’s slow churns their super-premium made-from-scratch ice cream with 18 percent butterfat. They’ve also teamed with Naughty Buddha Chocolate Bar to stock Omaha’s first all-vegan ice cream parlor. Mail order favorite eCreamery serves 16 staple flavors of specialty ice cream, gelato and dairy-free sorbet, along with cookies, in their two parlors; customize your own flavor from home at eCreamery.com. Ordering ice cream is an experience at Mixins, which serves homemade rolled ice cream along with your name handwritten in sauce, and photo ops.
