Faculty, staff and parents of NC State students can now order Yates Mill Bakery products for pickup at the Talley Market at the new Talley Student Union without ever leaving their desks or rushing to Raleigh.
You’ve probably had a cookie or cupcake or two from Yates Mill since it opened more than a year ago. Among the bakery’s signature desserts created by Executive Pastry Chef Kelly Bellmore are red velvet cake, lemon raspberry cake and chocolate peanut butter cupcakes, all of which can be personalized for all occasions. Now, just in time for the holiday season, the bakery has an online ordering portal for treats of all kinds.
Parents can use Yates Mill’s online store to surprise their students on birthdays or holidays — or just because they miss the good old days of hovering over their kids like a remotely controlled helicopter. The bakery’s online portal is a perfect solution for on-the-go faculty and staff who might want to order something for special events, such as weddings, retirements or that awful week when you forget — again — that your middle child’s birthday is only a few days away.
Customers can use a credit card to place orders at go.ncsu.edu/yates-cakes at least three days in advance of the special occasion. In addition to the bakery’s regular offerings, customizable cakes are also available.
The recipient just has to stop by during the bakery’s normal hours to pick up their treat.
“We hope to become the bakery of choice for birthdays, weddings and more,” says Randy Lait, NC State’s senior director of hospitality services.
For the holidays, Yates Mill is now offering pre-orders of specialty treats. Special holiday pies include pumpkin, apple, pecan and chocolate chess, and holiday-season breads include morning glory, banana walnut and pumpkin.
The bakery’s billing system only handles credit cards, however, so if you want to treat your department to a Yates Mill Bakery cake or pie, place an order through Rave! Event Services at (919) 513-8368.
