hello.

I’M GABBY.

AND I LIKE TO BAKE STUFF. :)

Thanks for stopping by! We’re a Tampa Bay based bakery specializing in custom celebration and wedding cakes and small batch vegan baked goods. You can find us at Indie Flea market in St. Pete thru the market szn, and walk-up/open house pastry days at my newly opened baking studio in Seminole Heights! The studio is open by apt. only (for cake pick-ups), but walk up days on weekends offer a chance to satisfy your sweets cravings, so check my schedule above for upcoming dates. :)

SMALL BATCH, FROM SCRATCH, WITH AN EMPHASIS ON ETHICAL & CONSCIOUS INGREDIENT SOURCING.

I NEVER USE ANIMAL INGREDIENTS OR DERIVATIVES, EVER. But to touch on ideas of veganism beyond the basics — my bakes aren’t technically health focused. I’m primarily concerned about the abuses of human and non-human animals across our food systems, and my practices reflect that. Very big proponent of indulging, just tryna cause the least amount of harm whilst doing so.

All our cocoa is small farmer grown and/or traceable, and is always fair trade. Spices are single origin when possible. Most of our flours come from employee owned cooperatives. We try and buy local and smol when able and utilize whole ingredients. Sugar is always unrefined and/or never bone-char filtered. All food waste is composted back into the earth and a lot of my packaging is compostable too.

I like using whole, local, and fairly traded ingredients cause FLAVOR, but it’s generally also better for our communities. I wanna be invested in building a more equitable and democratic food system and all these small choices I think have big impact. Any time you buy a Gabby Bake, you’re also in a smol way supporting a small farmer somewhere.

SPECIAL THANK YOU TO EVERY SINGLE PERSON THAT’S SUPPORTED ME THESE PAST FEW YEARS. I’M SO SO GRATEFUL FOR THIS CITY, FOR OUR COMMUNITY. THANKS FOR EMBRACING ME SO WONDERFULLY.

y’all the damn best.
