A local baker has started selling cakes from a small self-serve bakery called The Microbakery @ The Cake Coop.
Baker and owner of Butter Half Cakes Nicole Conley is at the helm of the walk-up microbakery at 8039 30th Ave NW. Think of it like a cake vending machine: You walk up, scan a code, select your treat, and the fridge will open up for you to take your goodies.
Conley tells My Ballard, “It’s a fun, on-demand treat spot for locals—with rotating flavors and no need to pre-order.” Conley sells individually packaged slices of cakes and small “vintage-style” cakes from the smart fridge.
“Butter Half Cakes has been a custom cake studio creating cakes of all styles for weddings, birthdays, and celebrations across the Seattle area. I’ve loved being part of people’s most special moments, but I wanted to share my cakes more often, in a way that feels fun, flexible, and accessible,” Conley told My Ballard.
“That’s where the idea for the Microbakery came in: A self-serve cake stand offering decadent slices and tiny, beautifully made celebration cakes you can pick up on a whim—no planning or pre-orders required. My goal is simply to bring a little joy to folks in my neighborhood and across the city.”
Conley said the cake stand is open Friday to Sunday, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
