Hi, I’m Madelyn Brown, the baker behind The Gilded Crumb.

My love for baking started when I was little — covered in flour, sneaking cookie dough, and learning the joy of creating something sweet to share. That early passion eventually led me to study the craft more deeply at the Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts in Austin, where I refined my skills and discovered just how much art (and heart) goes into every pastry.

Since then, baking has been more than just a career for me — it’s a way to bring a little magic into everyday life. Whether it’s a decadent cake, or a soft and chewy cookie, each treat at The Gilded Crumb is made with care, creativity, and just the right dash of playfulness.

At The Gilded Crumb, I believe indulgence should feel both special and fun — a little gilded, a little crumby, and always delicious.
