💌 Some moments just stay with you.

Today, something arrived in the mail that genuinely touched my heart.

A lovely lady who visited our booth at the End of Summer Block party at purcellvillemainstreet a couple of weeks ago took the time to find us and send us a handwritten card. She wrote about how much she enjoyed our baked goods, how much she appreciated our setup, and wished us all the very best with Bakes by Zia.

I honestly wasn’t expecting it, and it meant more to me than she probably realizes. ❤️

There are so many hours behind a small baking business that people never see — the late nights, the baking, decorating, packing, loading the car, setting everything up, and hoping that people will enjoy what you’ve made. And then something like this happens.

To know that what we created left enough of an impression for someone to think of us, sit down, write a card and mail it to us… that is incredibly special.

These are the moments that make all the hard work worth it. 🥹

To this very sweet customer — thank you. Your kindness made my day, and this little card will be treasured. 💕

💜 A little taste of the tropics is joining the Bakes by Zia menu! 🌴

Introducing our new Ube Crinkle Cookies — beautifully purple, soft, chewy, and made with the wonderfully unique flavor of ube. 💜

If you’re new to ube, it’s a vibrant purple yam with a naturally sweet, slightly nutty, vanilla-like flavor. It’s especially loved in Filipino desserts and has found its way into everything from cakes and cookies to ice cream and other sweet treats.

Hailing from a tropical island ourselves, there’s something extra special about adding ube to our menu. 🌺 In Sri Lanka, we’re no strangers to enjoying purple yam and other tropical root vegetables in different ways — so taking that familiar tropical ingredient and turning it into a beautiful little cookie feels right at home at Bakes by Zia. 💜

And you don’t have to wait long to try them!

🛍️ We’ll be bringing our Ube Crinkle Cookies to Archwood Green Barns TOMORROW!

📅 Sunday
⏰ 10 AM – 2 PM

Come by, say hello, and be among the first to try our newest treat! 💜

Alternatively, DM to order! 💜

🥋🖤 From white belt to black belt… what an incredible journey to celebrate! 🖤🥋

We were honored to create this custom cake to help celebrate such an amazing milestone!

This celebration featured a rich, moist chocolate cake layered with our delicious homemade strawberry compote filling, creating the perfect sweet ending to an unforgettable achievement.

Designing this cake was so much fun, and knowing it was part of such a meaningful celebration made it even more special. The biggest reward, though, was hearing how much everyone enjoyed it! 💕 Be sure to scroll to the end to read the wonderful review our client left—it truly means the world to us and reminds us why we love what we do.

Congratulations to the new black belt! May this achievement be just the beginning of many more successes, both on and off the mat. 👏🥋

Graduation is more than just earning a diploma—it’s the celebration of hard work, determination, late nights, big dreams, and exciting new beginnings. We were so honored to create this custom cake to be part of such a memorable milestone.

Every custom order tells a different story, and this one was such a fun project to be part of! 🎓✨ We were asked to create a dessert collection for a 25-Year High School Reunion, bringing together meaningful details, school pride, and plenty of sweet memories into one coordinated set.

We recently had the pleasure of creating this custom order for a 25-Year High School Reunion—a beautifully coordinated dessert set featuring 24 handcrafted decorated sugar cookies and a 4-layer vanilla cake filled with our homemade strawberry compote.

This cookie collection is probably the most detailed and intricate set we’ve created to date, and while it certainly challenged us, we genuinely loved every minute of bringing each design to life. Every cookie was carefully planned, piped, and finished to capture the spirit of the reunion.

To complete the celebration, we designed the cake to perfectly complement the cookie set while incorporating the customer’s inspiration photos, creating one cohesive centerpiece for the event.

The best part? Hearing that everyone loved both the cookies and the cake! 🥹💕 Receiving feedback like that makes all the time, care, and attention to detail so worthwhile.

Be sure to scroll all the way to the end to read the wonderful Facebook review the customer shared with us—it truly made our day! ❤️

If you’re planning a reunion, birthday, graduation, wedding, baby shower, or any special celebration, we’d love to help bring your vision to life with custom cakes, cookies, and handcrafted treats made just for your event.

There’s something so special about being trusted to create desserts for milestone celebrations, and this Sweet 16 was one we absolutely loved being a part of! 💕

The birthday girl’s mom had a beautiful vision—a classic three-layer vanilla cake filled and frosted with our delicious strawberry buttercream, finished with elegant rosettes all around. 🌹🎂 Timeless, beautiful, and made with so much love.

But she had one more surprise up her sleeve… 🧁✨

Alongside the cake, she asked us to create matching mango cupcakes with a delicious mango filling, each decorated with sweet little sayings to make her daughter’s day even more memorable. We loved bringing this thoughtful idea to life and seeing everything come together as one beautiful celebration.

The best part? Hearing that they absolutely loved both the cake and the cupcakes! Moments like these are exactly why we do what we do.

Thank you for allowing Bakes by Zia to be part of such a special milestone. Wishing the birthday girl a year filled with joy, laughter, and unforgettable memories. Happy Sweet 16! 💖🎉
