Bakeries on the web?  It sounds strange at first. Anyone used to stopping by the bakery downtown for desserts or a special occasion cake knows that nothing compares to the sights and smells of fresh-baked foods. 1-800-Bakery.com brings the best bakeries online right to your home or desktop. The site was launched in 2004 by Stephen Pazyra (Chef Steve), owner of the award-winning La Patisserie of Winchester, Massachusetts. Chef Steve searches for bakeries with signature cakes, cookies, and pastries and brings them together in one place on the web.

The Chocolate Birthday Cake and Vanilla Birthday Cake Complete Party Kits sold by 1-800-Bakery.com, a leading online retailer of specialty baked goods, offer an instant celebration with cake for up to 16 people, plates, napkins, candles, and a cake server.

A summer employee alerted Website founder Stephen Pazyra to the need for cakes on campus. “I got this heartfelt e-mail explaining that most colleges don’t have a bakery nearby, so the kids eat raw cookie dough. On birthdays, some would cook it and stick a candle in it. That’s the college birthday cake. These kids would be delighted to have cakes delivered to them.”

If you’re thinking of sending a cake or any other perishables to campus, Chef Steve offers these suggestions:

- Time the delivery to arrive on a weekday. Many university mail centers are closed on Saturday and Sunday, and some schools do not allow shipping companies to deliver directly to the dorms. It’s a good idea to check with the school and learn about their mailing procedures.

- Let your student know that a package is coming. Some schools keep large packages in a mailroom that closes late in the afternoon. A heads-up to your student will ensure that he or she gets the package on the day it arrives.

- No matter what you send, send enough to share. There’s no shortage of hungry friends when something tasty arrives.

For Students who love cookies, Chef Steve Recommends the Birthday Butter Cookie, a two-pound cookie shaped and decorated to resemble a birthday cake, available in pink and blue.  These cakes and cookies can be shipped overnight anywhere in the continental United States when orders are placed by 2 PM Eastern Time. “Don’t miss the opportunity to be part of your loved ones celebration” says Chef Steve. “These gifts provide a delightful surprise that will be remembered for years to come.”

The URLwire Effect:
"URLwire is without question the most effective way to tell the right people in the online world about your web site" 
-- CoolShopping.com

My experience with URLWire has been entirely positive.
I received coverage (and links!) from key sites and in e-newsletters, one of which had over 500,000 readers. Resulting traffic has been more than impressive. URLwire
demonstrated to me that it's the prime choice for announcing a web site. Edwin Hayward
