  • Serves Washington, DC

Hi, I'm Amanda! I founded Baden's Bakery in 2020, but I have been baking since I was young. Baking has always been a passion of mine, and I am excited to share it with you! Whether you are looking for a traditional wedding cake or a modern dessert bar with an assortment of treats, we are here to make your special day sweeter!

Awarded Best of Zola
I may be biased, as the bakery owner is my best friend and maid of honour, but I am not exaggerating when I say I have never received more compliments on anything as I received on my wedding desserts! The mini cheesecakes, cookies, and wedding cake were absolutely cleaned out! The only thing we got to bring home for ourselves was our personal wedding cake. Amanda is so accommodating--we had my mother in law bring in some traditional Indian desserts and Amanda was happy to add them to her display and even provided a beautiful serving dish for them! The wedding cake was so beautiful and DELICIOUS! My husband hyped it up so much to our guests that I started to worry it might not meet their expectations, but I was SO wrong. I would recommend Amanda for any event you may have coming up in your life. She is professional and reliable, and will work with you to make your dessert dreams come true down to the last detail!

Cheryl did an amazing job with our cake - it was absolutely delicious and looked incredible. We had an opportunity to taste a few of the cake flavors and went with vanilla, chocolate, and carrot cake for our 3-tiered wedding cake. A few weeks before the big day, she got in contact with us and went over our flavor choices and designs. While Cheryl had several signature designs for couples to choose from, we liked certain details from two designs and she combined it to make our wedding cake. The cake itself was moist and tender - our guests raved about it and even went back for seconds! It honestly was one of the best wedding cakes we've had. Thanks Cheryl!

I came to Sarah with a tall order: for our fantasy-themed wedding cake, I was looking for a fully vegan three-tiered cake with a huge dragon as the decoration. Not only did she deliver, she went above and beyond, hand-painting a gorgeous copper dragon in the colors we requested and crafting edible 3D wings that made it look like it was in flight. The cake was truly the centerpiece of the reception dinner. For flavors, we ordered snickerdoodle, cinnamon mocha latte, and chocolate cookies and cream, all of which were delicious. My personal fav was the cinnamon mocha — 10/10 highly recommend. I would love to order more cakes from Sarah for future celebrations!

Flourbomb 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • Starts at $48
  • Serves Washington, DC

Flourbomb is a rebirth of a revolutionary and influential doughnut brand whos Founding Chef pioneered the "Everything Bagel Doughnut" and helped introduce bomboloni/malasada style doughnuts — not only to the DC, Maryland, and Virginia area, but beyond. Almost a decade later, we wanted to bring back that experience when a doughnut captured timeless moments and core memories. That undeniable light, airy, fluffy crumb, combined with a well-balanced infusion of sweet and savory home-made flavors. It's recapturing a feeling that just hits home.

Best time to eat these sweet and savory donuts is between 8 and 11 in the morning. Their dough is definitely unique, a dichotomy between brioche and bomboloni! A few favorites are the lemon filled, chives bagel and coffee bomb. Great for on the go, family gatherings and work meetings! They make life a little sweeter!

Melissa's Simply Sweet 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Serves Washington, DC

Just how sweet is Melissa’s Simply Sweet? Oh so sweet, — and my “oh so sweet” story begins with a unique love for service and commitment to my exclusive craft. My passion for baking began at an early age. After venturing into the hotel industry at the Hotel and Culinary School of Santa Barbara, California, I somehow managed to stumble onto the very unexpected culinary art of baking, and haven’t looked back. I never imagined beginning a career in the culinary industry, but after creating my son's 2nd birthday cake 19 years ago, I fell in love and hit the ground running.

Melissa was so easy to work with and very accommodating when we changed the flavors of 2 layers in our cake. The cake was perfect, it turned out exactly how I had imagined it and it was absolutely delicious. We got so many compliments on how yummy the cake was. I would definitely recommend!

Mike’s Gelato was started by Mike Mullinix in 2016. Mike spent a semester in Italy during college, and he fell in love with Italian culture and cuisine. After finishing college in 2012 with a bachelor’s degree in business management with an emphasis on entrepreneurship, he searched for a new business venture to pursue. While a lot of gelaterias use premade mixes to cut cost and time, here at Mike’s gelato we take our time and pride into every scoop. We love what we do and our only goal is to bring you the best possible product anyway we can!

Mike and Amanda were so responsive and professional during the wedding planning process! They were so easy to book and communicate with! We had a wedding of about 95 guests and the gelato truck was a HUGE hit. We had a line of guests waiting by the truck and the line seemed to move quickly! Our guests raved about the flavors and wished they got more! We tried the Oatmeal Creme Pie and Pistachio and they were both delicious!! We'd highly recommend them for any event!

Each one felt indulgent and thoughtfully made, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about them. Messy Treatz offers a wide variety of flavors, which allowed us to choose options that appealed to both classic tastes and guests who wanted something a little more playful and unique. One of the biggest benefits of using Messy Treatz for our wedding was the personal touch they brought to the process. They made us feel like more than just another event on their calendar. Their attention to detail, responsiveness, and willingness to help us create a dessert table that fit our wedding vision made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. Visually, the desserts were stunning. The cupcakes and treats added a fun, modern, and joyful look to our dessert display, making them perfect for photos and guest interaction. Messy Treatz truly understands how to create desserts that are both beautiful and delicious — which is exactly what you want on your wedding day. Most importantly, Messy Treatz helped us create a memorable experience for our guests. The desserts weren’t just a sweet ending to the night — they became part of the celebration.

We could not have asked for a better wedding cake. Shanna and Dakota brought our vision to life so wonderfully. The entire process was easy start to finish. We are from out of state, but they were able to mail samples to us directly which was great for the decision making process. Chocolate cake with raspberry filling is absolutely the way to go!

I had 5 different people text me the day after the wedding to ask who made the wedding cake and tell me that it was the best wedding cake they ever had! My husband and I also did tastings with 3 other bakeries before booking Megan and none of them came close to any of her flavors.
