Our Story
Growing up at my grandmother’s house there was always this warm smell of freshly baked cookies, pies, or cakes, which made me feel comfortable and at home.
Upon this day I remember the hours I spent baking with her, my mother, and aunts and the joy it brought to my heart.
I moved to the Staates from a city close to Stuttgart, Germany in 2011.
I always talked about having a bakery and one day a Cafe, where you can experience the German Gemütlichkeit. And that is how it started.
I founded the business in March of 2015 trading my careers to pursue this passion, which has been a part of my life since childhood and which I would like to share with the community.
So far you can find us at the Leesburg Farmers Market and at local events,
where we are well known for a selection of baked goods such as Strudel, Scones and Pretzels and in the Christmas time for our variety of European cookies, Gingerbread and Stollen.
Thank you for your interest in my passion.
Simone

Simone Is my cake person for life! She is truly amazing person who make amazing cake.
We're a week away from the WinterMarkt. To hopefully help you, each day this week we will curate a sample gift basket you can assemble from the vendors you find at ,
Since WinterMarkt has a European and definite German history and vibe, and the German embassy is coming, we will start with a gift for the fan of all things German or European in your life!
1. Definitely go and pick up one (or more) authentic German holidays items from Little Germany...I might consider a stein and maybe a smoker that fits the profession or style of the recipient.
2. Head over to Coburger Bistro and pick up some rum balls, gluhwein marmalade and Maultaschen. While you're there, consider getting a waffle or soup for yourself to sustain you on your journey around the market.
3. Head to the Beer/Gluhwein pavilion and grab your Herndon WinterMarkt collectible Gluhwein mug (s) and hat pin(s). Go to Lidl’s booth and paint a picture and name of recipient on one of their wooden starts, You can also head on over to the Herndon Lidl US store (gold sponsor) for a bottle of their Gluhwein to add to the basket after you leave the markt.
4. Get a pretzel from Nordic Knot and/or a great bread from Great Harvest Bread Co. (by now you're smelling all that bread loveliness, so don't forget your own sustenance). Head over to The Baekehaus for some additional German cookies or Little Austria for some strudel (knowing full well one of those will never make it to the gift).
5. On your way out, grab a good Bratwurst package from The Fermented Pig
Tie it up with a German or Austrian themed flags and ribbons, add your personalized wooden star ornament. Don't forget to keep perishables refrigerated until just about to give.
Stitch cookies by the wonderful Simone at The Baekehaus ! Photo cred to Simone as well!
Thank you for creating this amazing mocha chocolate birthday cake! Fantastische!
Hey, muss schon sagen die Kuchen sehen zum anbeissen aus. Hab ich gar nicht mitbekommen das du so schöne Kunstwerke machst. Weiter so, ahhh und bevor ich es vergesse. Versendest du die auch könnt da ein mit Elsa von eiskönigin gebrauchen fur meine kleine. 😆😆
Sag grüße auch an dein Mann und die kinder.
A huge thank you for a stunning cake!! I ordered this cake for Eid, a special holiday. Simone graciously agreed to write "Eid Mubarak" (translates to "happy Eid") on the cake board in Urdu, as I'm teaching my 3 yr old daughter Urdu and want her to see and learn Urdu script. The cake was simply the most beautiful cake I've ever seen, made with incredible patience and neat detail. We shared this cake with family and everyone loved it. The cake was strawberry flavor, with strawberry buttercream filling between the cake layers. It is beyond delicious, we are enjoying leftover cake these days as special dessert :) A huge thank you to The Bakehaus for the punctual contactless delivery, a scrumptious cake, and overall for being so kind and flexible with my special request for writing on the cakeboard in a different language. I will absolutely be putting in more orders for cakes in cookies after a wonderful first experience! We had already started cutting into the cake in the below picture, we couldn't wait to dig in!
