About Madame B’s Bakery

Madame B's Bakery is a Raleigh bakery that describes its work as traditional baked goods with a twist, producing cupcakes, custom and themed cakes, cookies, and wedding cakes with recipes that draw on a range of cultural cuisines rather than a single baking tradition. The bakery places a strong emphasis on inclusivity in its offerings, with vegan versions of its classic cookies and cupcakes and gluten-free options alongside its standard menu, plus a catering menu and baking classes for customers who want to learn the craft themselves. Madame B's frames its mission as building more than desserts, describing the business explicitly as building a legacy, with profits directed toward commercial equipment, workspace expansion, and youth mentorship initiatives that give back to the community it serves. A second location at 2718 Rock Quarry Road is currently in development, expected to open in October 2026, which will expand the bakery's footprint in Raleigh. The business also runs a program called the Sweet LEGACY Fund, which invites customers to contribute directly to the bakery's growth and its community programming rather than simply purchasing baked goods. What distinguishes Madame B's Bakery is this social enterprise model layered on top of standard bakery offerings: a business that treats its cupcakes and wedding cakes as a vehicle for youth mentorship and community investment, backed by dietary-inclusive options and an active expansion plan into a second Raleigh storefront.

Owner Shanae Bryant, a Durham native and NCCU hospitality management graduate, has baked since childhood. Her mother, Sharon Bryant, known as Momma B, grew up in Detroit learning family recipes from her parents, including her mother's pound cakes and her father's sweet potato pies. The two work together, and the business describes itself as minority, woman and family-owned, with a second location planned for 2026.
