About these articles
Longer pieces written from the Magpie kitchen in Bloomingdale, NJ: how to order a custom cake, how holiday pie windows work, planning a wedding dessert table or a party tray, finding vegan desserts, and what to pair with the drink board. For quick checklists, see the planning guides; for answers to common questions, the FAQ.
How the articles stay honest
The same rules that govern the rest of this site govern the articles: no invented reviews, no made-up prices, no promises the kitchen has not confirmed. Where Magpie's own process matters, the article says so plainly, and the general advice is written to hold up at any good bakery.
About the articles
Who writes The Magpie Bakery's articles?
The bakery does. Every article comes out of the working bakery and café at 2-14 Riverside Square in Bloomingdale, NJ, and the topics are drawn from the questions customers actually ask at the counter and through order inquiries.
Are the articles just advertising for Magpie?
The general answer always comes first, and it should hold up whichever North Jersey bakery you end up using. Where Magpie's own process matters, the article says so plainly, and each piece ends with a clearly separated section for readers who want to plan the order with Magpie.
Do the articles show current items or prices?
No. The bakery case rotates, so current selection lives on Magpie's live ordering menus, and pricing for custom work is discussed during an inquiry. The articles stick to the planning knowledge that stays true year-round — portions, lead times, and how the ordering rhythm works.
