15 Best-Selling Bakery Desserts To Grab On Amazon

Add The Takeout on Google:

It's a shame we can't all live near a bakery, but being able to order treats for delivery right to our door is the next best thing. Amazon sells everything from gourmet goodies to frozen pizzas, so it only stands to reason that the retail giant sells baked goods as well. Quite a lot of them, in fact. While it's hard to capture an exact snapshot of the top-selling items at any given moment, since sales data is updated on the fly, we took a look at the top 15 as of mid-October 2026.

Cupcakes, it seems, are having a moment in the mail order sphere, as 40% of the list is made up of these items. Cookies and bar cookies are popular, as are pies and tarts, while several other desserts also make the list. Birthday items seem to sell particularly well, which makes sense, since it can often be cheaper to have something sent from Amazon then to bake it and ship it yourself. Last-minute gifters no doubt also appreciate Amazon's delivery being so much speedier than USPS.

The price and availability of any item is always subject to change, and this is especially true of anything seasonal. There's only one holiday-specific item on the best-seller list at present, but its short season will be over soon. Even after it ends, though, you may find something very similar dressed up for a different occasion.

An American icon

Apple pie may have European roots but it's still an all-time American classic. So, too, is Amazon, in its own way. Ordering an Amazon Grocery Apple Pie, then, may rank right up there as an act of patriotism along with flag waving and firecrackers. Apart from any symbolism carried by this dessert, it's also really good. "It's extremely rare for me to give five stars but this apple pie is worthy of it!" enthused one Amazon customer. "This is a great pie! [...] And the price is fab, also," commented another.

A better-for-you brownie

Nature's Bakery Double Chocolate Brownie Bars manage to be indulgent and super-healthy at the same time, since the ingredients include whole wheat and barley flour, brown rice syrup, date paste, and molasses (along with chocolate, of course). The bars are also okay for nut-allergic people, as they're entirely free of that ingredient, and are even made in a nut-free environment. The best part, though, is the flavor. As one reviewer said, " ... they're genuinely delicious. Rich, chocolatey, and satisfying in a way that a lot of 'healthier' snacks completely fail at." Another added, "Such a wonderful treat! They are moist and just the right size."

A baklava box

Baklava is one of those Middle Eastern foods you have to try at least once, but we're betting that once won't be enough, since this flaky honey nut pastry is so, so good. If you're wanting to share the magic with others, the Cerez Pazari Baklava Gift Box would be a great place to start. It contains an assortment of bite-sized baklavas made with cashews, hazelnuts, pistachios, and walnuts, all packed into a pretty gift tin with a picture of hot air balloons on the lid. "The sweets had a great taste, and were good value for money," wrote one person, while someone else agreed, "Highly recommend and will definitely purchase again."

A bigger box of baklava

Several people who purchased the baklava gift box above expressed regret that they hadn't bought more of them, since the treats were so tasty that they didn't last long. One way to remedy that would be to purchase a larger Cerez Pazari Baklava Gift Box that not only contains more pastries, but has several different varieties that aren't included in the smaller one. It, too, comes in a pretty tin, this one depicting the Istanbul lighthouse known as Maiden's Tower. "Amazing quality, great packaging and FRESHNESS out of this world," remarked one purchaser, while another noted, "These are fantastic! Exceeded our expectations! They were fresh, light and crispy. Will definitely be ordering these again!"

Birthday brownies

Got a special someone with a birthday to celebrate? Let an OMCookie Birthday Party Brownie Gift Box do the talking. The box itself proclaims "Happy Birthday!" in large rainbow-colored letters, while the bar cookies inside are Cosmic Brownie dupes. (Even Michelin restaurants are inspired by Little Debbie.) Amazon shoppers report that these nut-free, kosher brownies have made numerous birthday giftees very happy. "The brownie was absolutely loved by everyone and was very well received and quickly devoured! I would definitely recommend," explained one.

Cookie-flavored cupcakes

So how do you translate an Oreo cookie into cupcake form? Kimberley's Bakeshoppe Oreo Cupcakes have a dark chocolate cake base and a frosting that several shoppers say tastes exactly like Oreo filling. There's also a dusting of chocolate cookie crumbs on top for extra verisimilitude. "Love them I wish there were more than 4," said one purchaser, while another echoed, "They're really good and I'll be a repeat buyer!"

A creamy tropical pie

Coconut cream pie is an old-fashioned no-bake dessert that's sadly underrated and not always easy to find in today's supermarkets. You can, however, order an Amazon Grocery Coconut Cream Pie that shoppers say tastes like homemade. As one person wrote about the pie, "The coconut is real coconut not artificial, the crust is flaky and overall a delicious treat," while another called it "one of the best tasting coconut pies I've tasted."

Cupcakes that say Happy Birthday!

Stern's Bakery Birthday Cupcakes are as festive inside the package as they are on the outside. The red-and-white-striped box proclaims "Happy Birthday" amidst images of birthday gifts, hats, candles, candies, and cupcakes, while the chocolate-frosted vanilla cupcakes inside are covered in multicolored sprinkles. As one person described the item, "Wonderful gift for a treat for the birthday person. Delivered on time and tasty and fair price considering all that is involved." Another customer concurred, "This box was worth the money. The freshness nd moistness of the cupcake really surprised me."

A dessert with a dramatic color scheme

Red velvet cake has a flavor that's only mildly chocolatey, but its color scheme more than makes up for the somewhat subdued taste. Kimberley's Bakeshoppe Red Velvet Gourmet Cupcakes are certainly stunning, with their crimson cake base topped with a swirl of cream cheese frosting. There's even a dusting of cake crumbs for additional color. Those who've tried them say the flavor lives up to the appearance. "Omg these are the Best red velvet cupcakes I have ever had!" raved one person. Someone else wrote about them, "These taste so good. The size is big and the cream. Is a lot and has a good taste."

Festively decorated cupcakes

Amazon Grocery Vanilla Cupcakes are covered in white icing and adorned with colorful confetti sprinkles, making them equally suitable for parties or adding a little pizzazz to an everyday lunchbox. As one shopper characterizes them, "No, they are not gourmet, they are not fancy. But they are fresh, delicious, and not overly sweet." Another agreed with that assessment, saying "Our most favorite cupcakes. Not to [sic] sweet."

Equally festive, but smaller and chocolatier

Amazon Grocery Mini Chocolate Cupcakes are decorated in a similar style to the aforementioned vanilla ones, but their frosting is chocolate to match the cake flavor. They are also about half the size, making for a two-bite mini treat. This item is equally popular with Amazon shoppers, with one calling the cupcakes "Delicious and ½ the price of local grocery stores!" and another praising what they describe as "moist, chocolate goodness, not too dark but not milk [—] more in the semi sweet category."

Gift-worthy chocolate cookies

The final gift assortment to land on our bestseller list is Barnett's Sweet Creation Chocolate Covered Cookie Gift Basket. It consists of a dozen chocolate sandwich (Oreo-type) cookies, each dipped in a chocolate or white candy coating and sprinkled with different toppings including crushed peppermint candies, pretzel crumbs, sunflower seeds, and chopped dried papaya. "These were definitely good and arrived nicely packaged. The chocolate and toppings were tasty, and there was a nice variety in the box," wrote one shopper, while another observed, " ... you can tell these cookies are made with love and care."

A single-serve Southern dessert

Banana pudding is the queen of Southern desserts, possibly because it's easily made from inexpensive ingredients. It's not so easy, however, to make just one portion as a small solo indulgence. Instead, you can order an Our Specialty Treat Shop Banana Pudding Parfait. This single-serve dessert has a layer of banana crème filling and another of banana-flavored mousse, with whipped topping and a sprinkling of graham cracker crumbs finishing things off. "I order this frequently because it's amazing," said one shopper, while another opted for the same adjective with extra exclamation points: "If you haven't tried this yet ~ Order it!!! It is AMAZING!!!"

Sweet seasonal treats

As this article goes to press, Halloween is right around the corner, so it's natural that Amazon's Two-Bite Halloween Mini Cupcakes made the list. The chocolate variety has orange and purple frosting decorated with white ghost and black bat sprinkles. The vanilla ones have orange frosting with white, green, and purple sprinkles along with a few more of those black bats. The reviews mostly focus on how the cupcakes taste, however, with someone writing of the chocolate ones, "These were so delicious! They're fresh. They're soft. They have so much flavor, my favorite cupcakes from Amazon don't hesitate!" and another praising the vanilla: "Excellent flavor and moist."

Tangy tarts

Bonne Maman Lemon Tartlets are more of a cookie than a mini pie, consisting of a circle of shortbread topped with a lemony filling. As they're made by the same Bonne Maman that produces a line of popular preserves, you'd better believe the fruit filling is delicious, while the cookie crust is also excellent. "Individually wrapped, delicious lemon filling with a perfectly crisp and sweet tart crust. I will be ordering again," remarked one Amazon shopper, while another effused, "Oh boy are they delish!"

Purchase a 4.41-ounce, 9-count package of Bonne Maman Lemon Tartlets from Amazon for $6.73.
