Donuts, FT..MFW

I thought that's what he wanted.

Surely that brave woman who brought in bagels was not forever referred to as the Bagel Bitch.....

as others have already said for the TGIF goodies--muffins, danishes, coffee cake.

also, cinnamon rolls & i think it's called pull-apart bread (or monkey bread?).

Need to stay away from the following : Bagels, anything frosted like long johns, bear claws, etc, and english muffins

What are some other pastry delicacies that go well. I need 2 dozen at least.

People always bring in glazed donuts or cake donuts with sprinkles and it gets old..

Will your co-workers like the change or will you be pelted with <alternative pastry> and banished from the breakroom for eternity?

Go to a small, foreign deli and see what they have available. You will be surprised at the variety of food available.
Maybe there is a small bakery nearby.

For instance, Polish deli's often have kolaczki and paczki.

For sweet pastries, I like egg tarts, custard buns, pineapple buns (no pineapple inside, its a custard bun minus the filling), and the coconut tarts. For salty pastries there's roast pork buns (some bakeries make it sweet, some make it salty, it depends), hamburger buns, hotdog buns, curry buns, and a whole bunch of other types. You can really go wild with variety and they're very inexpensive.

FTW

Consider one of those fruit bowls from the grocery store.
Or one of the party platters with pepperoni and cheese and crackers.
