The Artist
Meet Stephanie
One artist, one set of hands, and a standard she will not lower.
Cakes by Steph began with a simple conviction: a celebration cake should be made by the person whose name is on it. Stephanie designs, bakes, and delivers every commission herself — no apprentices, no delegation, no shortcuts.
Her foundation is classical. Stephanie trained under a Peruvian pastry master, learning the discipline behind alfajores, tres leches, and milhojas, and she carries that same precision into every wedding tier and birthday centerpiece she creates today.
Ingredients as Philosophy
Real butter. Farm-fresh eggs. Madagascar vanilla. Valrhona chocolate. Stephanie sources with the care a fine kitchen demands and bakes everything from scratch — never from a mix. The difference is something you taste before you can name it.
Made for One Occasion
Nothing comes from a catalog. Every commission begins from a blank canvas and a private tasting, designed to reflect your vision and the moment it celebrates. To protect that level of care, Stephanie accepts only a limited number of commissions each month.
She works from Leesburg and serves families across Loudoun County and Northern Virginia, with 47 five-star reviews from clients who came back to say the cake was the thing everyone remembered.
