My name is Maddy O’Donnell and I’m the Maddy of Maddy’s Bakeshop. I got into baking by googling 'therapeutic activities' when my dad got sick while I was working a stressful job in music pr in NYC. It turned out that I loved my therapeutic activity so much that it became my career! I moved to Seattle right before the pandemic & covid made me end my very short stint of pastry school so I decided to teach myself all of the baked goods that interested me. When I’m not baking, I’m probably drinking a glass of wine, watching Bravo & knitting with my two cats, Noodle and Gus, and partner, Andrew.

Maddy’s Bakeshop is a microbakery specializing in laminated pastries and floral cakes with local and seasonal ingredients based in Seattle, Washington.

You can get my baked goods at Miro Tea, Friend Museum, Artemis Coffee Co, True North Coffee Roasters, Storied at Home and Percy’s & Co & both the Queen Anne and Ballard Farmer’s Market :-)
