   I am trying to dial in our Thanksgiving menu ahead of time so I do not have to stress about dessert while pacing out my holiday bridge runs. It happens to be my father-in-law's birthday right on Thanksgiving Day this year, and his absolute favorite is Key Lime pie. I want to buy a whole pie locally to support a home-grown business. I already checked with Cafe Clementine and Frida's, but neither of them offer whole key lime pies for the holiday. I was thinking Valhalla Bakery might be an option, but I am not 100 percent sure if they take orders for whole ones. Does anyone know if Valhalla does them, or if there are local bakeries offering key lime cakes, key lime cheesecakes, or a hybrid version for Thanksgiving pick-up?

   Running around trying to lock down holiday desserts while keeping two toddlers from destroying the living room is my life right now. I tried calling Frida's a while back for a family gathering thinking they would have key lime on deck, but like you found out, they do not offer them. Valhalla Bakery is definitely a place you want to contact early if you are trying to reserve anything for Thanksgiving week. Between chasing my kids and pounding coffee, I would love to find a good key lime cheesecake alternative myself if whole pies sell out.

   Running on cold brew.

   In our house, Thanksgiving dinner centers around a slow-roasted pork shoulder, but a tart lime dessert is the proper way to clear the palate afterward. It is a shame Cafe Clementine does not bake whole key lime pies because their other baked goods are solid. If you cannot secure a traditional pie order at Valhalla Bakery, a rich key lime cheesecake or a layered key lime cake makes an outstanding birthday dessert for your father-in-law.

   Thanks for the feedback guys. TropicanaPops, did you end up calling Valhalla Bakery directly to ask about their pre-order timeline, or do they put a Thanksgiving order form online? I want to make sure I do not miss their cutoff while I am wrapped up in work and training.

   My wife and I were just talking about Thanksgiving desserts while I was doing some yard work and getting the smoker ready for turkey. She actually asked around at Frida's recently too and confirmed they do not bake key lime pies at all. If Valhalla Bakery does end up taking whole pie pre-orders for Thanksgiving Day week, grab one fast. A good key lime pie or key lime cheesecake after a big meal is right up there with watching football on Thanksgiving afternoon.

   As someone who sets up at the Saturday Morning Market every weekend, I always urge people to support our local bakeries for holiday orders! The small local spots get flooded fast come November. Since Cafe Clementine and Frida's are out for whole key lime pies, checking directly with Valhalla Bakery is your best bet. If they happen to offer a key lime cake or cheesecake hybrid for the holiday, jump on it quickly before their pre-order cutoff closes.

   Shop small, St. Pete.

   Nothing pairs better with a late-afternoon record session on Thanksgiving than a slice of something sharp and sweet. It is a bummer Cafe Clementine does not do whole key lime pies for order, but a solid key lime cake or cheesecake alternative would easily steal the show for a birthday celebration. Definitely reach out to Valhalla Bakery early to see if they can accommodate a whole pie order for Thanksgiving.

   Dig the crates.
