Flour is probably the best bakery in the area that can do something like this. Lyndell's is good (& def cheaper) but a step below.

I would not say above / below. They're different kinds of places. Flour is far newer (opened in 2000), fancier, pricier, does a lot other than pastries. Lyndell's is much older (opened in 1887), traditional, less expensive, focused on pastries, and pretty high volume. Both are good but if I had the OP's needs I would choose Lyndell's. (Royal Pastry is also an older, more traditional bakery similar to Lyndell's in style.)

Well, Royal is old-school Italian style, and Lyndell's is old-school Jewish style, but yeah. Both longtime favorites of mine.
In my humble opinion, Flour is overrated, but to each his own.

Side by side, the cupcakes from Flour are much much better than Lyndell's. I've had both dozens of times. I stand behind what I said. I don't need a history lesson.
