You can place orders in advance or peruse the pretty pastries in person. Another reason to check this bakery out?

Crème de la Cookie
6706 Snider Plz, Dallas 

I dare you to take one look at this gourmet bakery's products and not walk away with something sugary on your tongue. Made with the finest ingredients from around the world, Toni Rivard's sweets have earned her the label "queen of sweet." The cake balls, sparkling fudgies, and impressive dessert shakes will have you drooling at first sight. Whether you stop by the Dallas location or order online, you won't regret giving this designer bakery a shot. Just ask the raving online reviewers. 

Ravelin Bakery 
416 S Elm Street, Denton 

Every now and then you just need a good old-fashioned croissant. This little shop offers a variety of flavors, from classic to almond and chocolate. There are also delicious muffins, tarts, and cookies for sale. Pair your sweet purchase with a quality cup of coffee and you've got yourself a perfect autumn treat. The shop also offers other baked goods that aren't as sweet if you want to change things up. People seem to love the spinach and feta croissants, which sometimes sell out before the breakfast rush has even ended! 

Casa Linda Bakery 
10819 Garland Road, Dallas 

For more than 75 years, this baked-goods seller has been impressing customers with delightful desserts and quality food. Everything is made from scratch, from the icing to the cakes. The recipes have been handed down from the original owners, which means they are time-tested classics. Whether you're looking for a Thanksgiving pie or freshly-made danishes, this bakery has it. Many reviewers say the cookies and cinnamon rolls are incredible. 

Sugar and Spice Bakery 
3115 W Parker Road, Plano 

This family-run business has established a name for itself in the heart of Plano. One of the owners, Vicki, does her own baking, and most of the recipes are ones she created from scratch. You can purchase everything from fresh sandwiches and soups to ice sugar cookies or homemade pies and cakes. Too overwhelmed by the choices? Their chocolate chip cookies are usually prepared that day, so they're probably a safe bet.
