Meet Katie Bowles

Bowles Baking Co. is Katie Bowles, a home baker in Brooklyn who has spent the last several years turning her kitchen into a one-woman cake studio.

There is no walk-in counter and no standing menu. Every cake starts as a conversation about the occasion, then gets designed, tested, and baked from scratch around it, one order at a time.

Word has traveled mostly through Instagram and referrals from other Brooklyn parents, which is exactly the kind of trust a website can now help carry further.

Made from scratch

Every layer, filling, and finish baked fresh to order, never pulled from a freezer case.

Designed around your event

Colors, theme, and flavors worked out directly with you before anything gets baked.

Serving Brooklyn & NYC

Pickup from the home kitchen, with delivery available for larger celebration orders.
