Looking for the perfect treat for your Christmas party? Planning to buy baked goods to give as gifts? You might want to plan ahead.

Local bakery proprietors suggest placing orders for holiday items, some of which are already in stores, in advance.

Helene Grzybowski, owner of Cupcake Kitchen on Highway 153 in Hixson, said that while walk-in requests can be accommodated, “we like as much time as possible.”

Some of her holiday cupcake creations, including ones with eggnog, peppermint stick and gingerbread flavors, are already on the shelves, Grzybowski said.

At Koch’s Bakery on Broad Street in Chattanooga, sooner is also better to place orders.
