The Five Best Female Bakers in NYC

I am not including myself in a list of the five best female bakers in NYC. I might rank about 129,697th in NYC. Ha! When it comes to baking, it has never been a true passion of mine. I’d rather cook – which can be much more forgiving & easy to experiment with – than bake, which can be a true science. Sure, I’ll get on my kicks on baked donuts every so often, and I’ll get heavy into apple pies and crips in the autumn; given the choice, I’d rather pull out my debit card and buy my goodies, let someone else do the work. 😅

Throughout this pandemic, I feel I have become more acquainted with many of the bakeries in my area and online; I’ve been awestruck at the virtual bakeries that have popped up, to be honest. So many folks are baking and shipping out of their own apartments; in NYC, that might mean they’re working out of a half-sized oven in a galley kitchen in a 200 square foot studio. *phew*

With the exception of Hadley Go Lucky – I first met Hadley many years ago at a Yelp Elite Event! Throwback! 😂 – I have gotten to know these other brands better during the course of the pandemic, ordering from them directly or buying their baked goods at local stores. To see so many women thrive just makes me want to celebrate…with all of their cakes, cookies, and breads! Now THAT is where I want to put my money down!

Please click the links for each baker to see menu items and availability; some of their baked goods are sold in stores, while others strictly run virtual bakeries. No matter where you get their goodies from, you’ll be impressed and ready to buy more, I guarantee it!
