Meet Stephanie
One artist, one set of hands, one standard
Cakes by Steph was built on a simple promise: the person whose name is on the cake is the person who makes it. Stephanie designs, bakes, and delivers every commission herself.
Trained under a Peruvian pastry master, she brings the same discipline and precision to alfajores and milhojitas as she does to wedding tiers and celebration cakes.
She works from Leesburg and serves clients across Loudoun County and Northern Virginia, accepting only a limited number of commissions each month to protect the quality and care behind every one.
