Feature image via Disco Cherry Bakery’s InstagramRecently, I put together a super rad list of queer florists and queer-owned flower shops. Now it’s time for queer bakers/bakeries! Fill your Instagram feed with allllllll the pastries, breads, and sweet treats. While I love to cook, baking is difficult for me!!!!! But that’s why I love to watch the pros do it. Follow these queer bakers for some baking inspiration of your own or find out where you’re getting your next batch of themed cookies (all themed parties should have matching themed cookies imo). Some only sell where they’re based, but some ship their products! This list focuses on smaller operations rather than bigger pastry shops. This list also features several homebakers — some who accept orders, and some who just post tips and recipes if you want to work on your own skills!
