Breads Bakery has made it easy to go beyond apple cake and honey cake for Rosh Hashana this year. A delectable Russian-inspired pastry called medovik has layers of buckwheat-honey pastry alternating with a sour cream and mascarpone filling. A beautiful macindvash has a shiny green apple exterior enclosing apple mousse, Calvados and caramelized apple, all on a cookie base.

Medovik, $28.95, Macindvash, $11.95 each, Breads Bakery, 18 East 16th Street; 1890 Broadway (63rd Street), 212-633-2253, breadsbakery.com.
