Every wedding detail tells a story—and sometimes, the sweetest stories are written in sugar. For AngelBaked, luxury custom cookies are more than just favors or desserts; they’re edible works of art that capture the essence of a couple’s celebration.What began with a batch of gingerbread cookies for her Knicks City Dancer teammates quickly turned into something extraordinary for founder Abbey Kowalec. Those first orange-and-blue dresses iced in royal frosting ignited a passion for design that would grow into AngelBaked—a brand now recognized for turning cookies into couture.
A True Labor of Love
Abbey pours herself into every order, and the process is as intricate as the designs themselves. For a dozen highly detailed custom cookies, she can spend up to 16 hours planning, baking, mixing icing shades, layering textures, and packaging each piece like a work of art. No detail is overlooked, because for Abbey, these cookies aren’t just treats—they’re keepsakes.
Of course, beauty is only half the story. “Cookies should taste just as good as they look,” Abbey insists. Her classic vanilla sugar cookies with vanilla royal icing are beloved for their flavor, while new varieties are always in the works to give couples even more options.
Inspired by the East End
Now, Abbey is bringing that artistry to Hamptons, North Fork, and Montauk weddings, inspired by the beauty and character of the region. Think vineyard- and farm-to-table–inspired designs for the North Fork, nautical motifs that echo Montauk’s surf culture, or coastal flourishes that capture the Hamptons’ iconic beachside charm. Each order ties the celebration to its setting, giving couples a way to share a piece of the East End with their guests.
Looking Ahead: Cookies That Keep Guests Talking
It’s no wonder major brands like Netflix, Dior, and L’Oréal have tapped AngelBaked for projects—but weddings remain her passion. As AngelBaked grows, Abbey dreams of pushing the boundaries even further—introducing live cookie decorating at weddings. Imagine a sleek setup where guests can watch designs come to life right before their eyes, or even take part themselves. It’s an unforgettable, interactive element that turns dessert into entertainment, one that lingers in memory well beyond the celebration itself.
More Than Dessert
What sets AngelBaked apart is its combination of luxury and personalization. Every cookie has the power to decorate, delight, and tell a story, whether it’s tucked into a welcome bag, displayed at cocktail hour, or gifted as a favor. Abbey’s designs elevate weddings into experiences—ones that guests can savor in the moment and remember with every bite.
Because when dessert doubles as design, it’s not just sweet—it’s unforgettable.
