A virtuous, if decadent, Austin cheesecake

How it works: Operating under the unassuming name Local Bread Baker, Koutseridi, born in Ukraine and in business in Austin since 2019, sells cheesecakes and other baked goods online, available for pickup in the Hancock neighborhood, just east of Hyde Park.

Cost: The 6-inch variety runs $30, which is a lot — until you consider that it's rich enough that if you play your cards right, you can nurse that bad boy for a couple weeks.

Plus: Proceeds from the sales have supported humanitarian-minded nonprofits such as Austin-based Liberty Ukraine, so you're helping people thousands of miles away each time your fork tines scoop another bite.
