Celebrating Eid will be different this year amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Although you can’t be together, you can still spread Eid cheer and celebration! We love the idea of making homemade baked goods delivering them contactless to a loved one’s doorstep. It let’s them know you’re thinking of them and can make you feel a bit closer during the quarantine holiday.

Here are some easy recipe ideas we’re loving: 

Date Cake

Oreo Truffles

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Coffee Cake

You can pick up some pastry boxes from Target or Michaels and add a sweet note to the box for delivery. We’ve all become bakers while under quarantine anyway, haven’t we? 

And don’t forget to get some face-to-face in and set up a zoom call for Eid day and connect with your loved ones! To add a special touch, check out our blog post Digital Invites for Virtual Celebrations.

Sending you continued prayers and Eid Mubarak to all celebrating!

christmas cupcakes Why purchase fruit cakes, and boring ginger bread cookies for your next party when you can have a fun spread of cupcakes! Gone are the days of simple vanilla and chocolate cupcakes, now Christmas themed treats are at your finger tips. Baked by Melissa makes it easy to get creative with your dessert table. Check out more about her business and her cupcake art below.

Baked by Melissa started after she was fired from her 9 to 5 in 2008. Inspired by her love to bake and her wanting all to enjoy desserts guilt free, Baked by Melissa was born.
