About Maddy:
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 was diagnosed with terminal cancer 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. I landed a job at Coyle’s Bakeshop in 2021, where they helped me hone in on my skills, and then became a pastry chef at Sabine Cafe & Bar in mid 2022, during which I started doing pastry pop ups around Seattle. In February 2024, I took the leap and started doing this full time! When I’m not baking, I’m probably drinking a glass of wine & watching Bravo in the tub or with my two cats, Noodle and Gus, and husband, Andrew.
