A Message From Me

Hi, I’m Lwethu, the heart and hands behind Brown Butter Bakery.

I started this bakery out of my small kitchen with a simple goal: to make people feel loved through dessert. Every cake, cupcake, and biscuit is handcrafted using real, wholesome ingredients — and always with a generous dash of joy.

Baking has been part of my life since I was a child. What started as a hobby quickly became a passion, then a business. I believe that every celebration deserves something sweet, and every person deserves something special – whether it’s a treat for yourself or a surprise for someone else.

Brown Butter Bakery is proudly woman-owned, and built on faith, family, and frosting. Thank you for letting me be part of your memories.

– With love,
Lwethu
