Milk Bar's Compost Cookies
Use up all of your snacking and baking odds and ends in this creative cookie. Make them the way Milk Bar does it (loaded with chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, old fashioned oats, potato chips, and pretzels), or add your own snacks to the base cookie mix to make ‘em unique. Either way, they’ll taste great!

Milk Bar’s Classic Naked Birthday Cake
This cake happens to be the bakery’s signature flavor and their best-seller for weddings. It’s simply a classic white cake with colorful rainbow sprinkles running through it. And, since it’s a “naked” cake (meaning the frosting doesn’t completely cover it) you can see all of those pretty layers.

“It’s based on those homey, humble flavors of the vanilla birthday sprinkle cake of your childhood,” says Tosi.

Besides, who doesn’t love a sprinkle cake?!
