"Joe Cassinelli’s Alpine Restaurant Group (Posto, Rosebud, Painted Burro, and more) has launched an online bakery, Elm Street Sweets, with pickup currently available at Rosebud in Somerville’s Davis Square and local delivery and nationwide shipping in the works. Executive pastry chef Tali Pinnolis is baking up pies — for which Rosebud already has a following — as well as cookies and cakes in various flavors. Cassinelli had already been working on a wholesale plan for Rosebud’s pies pre-COVID, he told Boston.com, but when the pandemic began, launching Elm Street Sweets became a good way to keep more pastry department employees in jobs. The current menu includes peanut butter fudge pie, gluten-free chocolate mousse pie, confetti cake, lemon pistachio white chocolate cookies, and more." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
