Cream (as in cream cheese and whipped cream) rules everything around this hip-hop-loving online bakery. Hip Hop Bake Shop was founded in 2017 by head baker and owner, Adela Bejo, who found a love of food and hip hop at a young age. While pursuing a degree and, subsequently, a career in psychology and criminal justice, Bejo baked in her spare time and it wasn’t long before she pursued her new passion on a more professional basis. She worked as a baker in Chicago before coming home to be the executive pastry chef at Grey Ghost. These days, she runs Hip Hop Bakeshop, bringing together her love of music and baking. Hip Hop Bakeshop’s menu includes classics like carrot cake and cinnamon rolls as well as unique offerings such as Wu-Tang Cookies. Hip Hop Bake Shop; ; .

Venla’s Detroit

Based in Detroit’s Rosedale Park, Venla’s Detroit is a cottage bakery that specializes in whimsical and colorful cakes like the popular Confetti Dulce de Leche (vanilla confetti and chocolate cakes, sea salt dulce de leche filling, vanilla swiss icing and confetti mini cookies), and Matcha Pistachio (matcha vanilla bean cake with dark chocolate sea salt ganache, roasted pistachio and matcha Swiss icing). Founder Hanna Rose Nall, a graduate of Schoolcraft College’s pastry arts program, says her cake style comes from learning what she didn’t want to create. “I spent multiple years working in custom cakeries, where you could order anything from a character cake to a 3D sculpture. It’s very difficult to produce all of these styles well,” Nall says. “Much of our inspiration comes from vintage cake design: all things campy and kitschy.” Venla’s Detroit; ; .

This pop-up was founded by New Orleans transplants Brenna Welch and Mike Moeller right before the pandemic hit. The restaurant veterans started Louisa (named after a street they lived on in the Big Easy) as a way to enjoy their creative freedom and recipe test with seasonal Michigan ingredients, creating artfully decorated cakes with fun flavors. They also do savory menus, such as a recent dinner at Babo Detroit where they served chicory salad, hush puppies, pork collar, steak frites, and more.��Louisa Detroit; .
