From the Hands of Uri Scheft

Every item comes from legendary baker and cookbook author Uri Scheft, made with premium ingredients and fully kosher, designed to make the holiday more delicious. The centerpiece is Bakey's unique take on the traditional apple and honey cake, made with real honey, cinnamon, and nutmeg, offered as loaves, festive rounds, and generous celebration sizes. The bakery's signature fan-favorite babkas answer in kind, woven through with honey and apple for the season.

Challahs for the Table

No holiday table is complete without challah, and Bakey braids its fresh: classic plain, a festive version crowned with poppy, sesame, pumpkin, and sunflower seeds, and a round honey challah for the new year. For hosts, a festive challah arrives baked and served with a ceramic bowl and honey jar, and centerpiece challahs anchor the table itself.
