Dancing Deer Baking Co. is a long-running gourmet bakery brand. Hudson River Foods bought the company in December 2018 and closed its original Boston bakery in May 2019, but the brand still sells brownies, cookies, cakes and gift baskets. It says everything is baked from scratch with all-natural, kosher ingredients and no preservatives. Before you buy, know that the site is built around one-time gift boxes. It does not describe a recurring monthly plan. The range is large, and most boxes are named after dances. Small 8-brownie boxes in flavors like Espresso or Caramel Pecan run about $27. At the top end, the Watusi Spectacular tower holds 50 cookies and 32 brownies for about $280. Many items were marked down from higher list prices. You will also find gluten-free options, a gingerbread cookie house kit, wholesale half cases, and gift categories for bridal, baby shower and thank-you occasions. Corporate gifting is a clear focus, and support is available by live chat and phone. If you want to send a dependable cookie and brownie gift once, this is a solid pick. If you want a surprise box every month, look elsewhere or check with the company first.
