Let's start with the gift boxes! 

Gift boxes are back! Whether you need a small token or a special gift, I have you covered. All boxes are non-holiday specific, although many do involve the colors red, green, and white.

Each box is hand-decorated with love and care so that it can make gifting extra special.

Below are photos of the boxes available, starting with the larger gifts.

Did someone say CAKE?!

From pumpkin to traditional, the log cake is back!

The spongy cake is layered with my dulce de leche, then the cake is topped with a healthy sprinkling of powdered sugar and presented in a holiday box. 

Perfect for a holiday table setting!

One log cake serves 10. 

$25 each 

Goodness in a jar!

Homemade Dulce de Leche

Part of the magic in the alfajores is my homemade dulce de leche. 

In my family, we eat it by the spoonful every chance we get! 


A few of our favorite ways to indulge:

- on toast (with or without butter, too!)

- on crackers

- mixed with ice cream to make homemade dulce de leche ice cream flavor

- top off a piece of cake

- mix it with cake crumbs to make cake balls


Each 8 oz. mason jar is hand-filled and sealed. 

Contents stay fresh for two weeks, and need no refrigeration! 

Each jar is $9, comes decorated with ribbon and a small spoon.

Homemade Chimichurri

My homemade chimichurri is one of those condiments that can go with just about everything! 

It's a mix of oil, vinegar, garlic, and my personal mix of spices. 


It's perfect for:

-dipping bread into it

-spooning some onto fresh bread (so you get all the spice chunks!)

-marinading or topping off a juicy steak or chicken dish

-spooning into each bit of an empanada (it's especially perfect with the beef empanadas!)


Each 8 oz. mason jar is hand-filled and sealed. 

Contents stay fresh for about a month, and need no refrigeration! 

Each jar is $8, comes decorated with ribbon and a small spoon.

Both the dulce de leche and the chimichurri has this holiday decoration

and spoon for the holidays!

Fondant toppers for your special cakes!


If you're doing your own cake, cupcakes, or cookies for the festivities, then you may want to add a special touch. My handmade fondant toppers are perfect for quickly dressing up any cake or cookie! A few photos are below, but you can see all the options in my Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/thecottagepantry


We still have the classics!


Our regular menu items are always available, too!

The regular menu items come with no decorations or holiday boxes - perfect for a quiet meal at home or the busy days right around holiday gatherings!
