SWEETEN THE HOUSTON HOLIDAY SEASON
When the calendar fills with office gatherings, client thank-yous and family tables, the dessert can be the detail that makes everyone slow down and enjoy the moment. Ms. Myrtle’s Bakery brings Southern favorites, shareable treats and a personal touch to Houston holiday gatherings.
A TABLE THAT FEELS TAKEN CARE OF
Holiday hosting asks a lot of one person. There are invitations to answer, rooms to ready, people to welcome and a hundred details competing for attention. A thoughtfully chosen dessert spread gives the gathering an easy center, whether people are arriving after work, catching up between meetings or staying late around a family table.
Since 2000, Ms. Myrtle’s Bakery has helped Houston celebrate with family-rooted baking and Southern comfort. For a holiday party, that can mean a tray of cookies for the break room, cupcakes for a team toast, cake balls for an open house or a cobbler and cake table that invites everyone back for one more taste.
START WITH HOW PEOPLE WILL SHARE
Keep serving easy with cupcakes, cake balls, brownies or individually packaged logo cookies. These choices let coworkers pick up something sweet between conversations, recognitions and end-of-year good wishes.

SOUTHERN FAVORITES, MADE FOR SHARING
Some holiday gatherings need a little something for every seat. Others need a table that feels generous enough for people to linger around. Ms. Myrtle’s corporate catering menu includes familiar choices that are easy to build around: gourmet cookie trays, brownie trays, cake ball trays, cupcakes, pie tarts, fresh fruit platters, dipped fruit, cobblers and Nana’s Banana Pudding.
If the occasion has a signature flavor in mind, the menu makes the practical choices clear. A gourmet cookie tray comes in quantities of 24, 48 or 96. Cake balls come in trays of 12, 24 or 48. Standard cupcakes are available by the half dozen or dozen. For a larger table, cobblers and pudding are available in sizes that serve 15, 40 or 60 to 65 guests.

The best holiday food does more than fill a plate. It gives people an excuse to gather at the same table, trade a favorite flavor and leave with the feeling that someone thought about them. A red velvet cupcake can brighten a workday. A pie tart can make a client thank-you feel personal. A cobbler can bring the whole room back toward the dessert table.
For a corporate holiday party, start with the rhythm of the event. A standing reception often works well with cake balls, cookies, brownies and cupcakes because guests can serve themselves. A team lunch or dinner may call for a larger dessert moment, such as a cobbler, pudding or a celebration cake. If you want the treats to double as a gift, individually packaged logo cookies create a polished, shareable finish.

HOLIDAY CATERING WITH A HOUSTON HEART
A holiday menu does not have to be complicated to feel generous. The most welcome desserts are often the ones people recognize at first glance, then remember because they were made with care. A classic cookie tray gives guests an easy favorite. Cake balls add a little color and variety. A fruit platter offers a fresh contrast beside rich, Southern sweets. Together, those choices let the host create a table with something for different tastes without losing the warmth of a bakery-made spread.
For teams, dessert can also be a way to mark the people behind the work. An employee birthday, a year-end toast, a client open house or a department gathering becomes more personal when the treats are chosen with the occasion in mind. Ms. Myrtle’s Bakery can help you start with the practical pieces, then leave room for the small details that make people feel welcomed.
Branded cookies are especially useful when the holiday plan includes a thank-you or a takeaway. The 3-inch butter shortbread cookies can feature a logo, mascot or photo and are individually packaged. They have a two-dozen minimum, so the choice works for an intimate client gathering as well as a larger office moment. For up to ten dozen, allow at least seven days. For larger orders, allow fourteen days.
When the table is for family, food has a different kind of job. It holds the stories, the extra chairs and the familiar flavors that make people feel at home. From a single cake to a table full of pie tarts, cobbler and cookies, Ms. Myrtle’s Bakery is here to make the sweet part feel settled, warm and ready for the people you love.
