I grew up outside of Pittsburgh, PA and moved to New Jersey in 2014. After many years in corporate retail, I followed my passion for baking and launched Stuff by SJ during the pandemic in 2020.

 

What began as a virtual bakeshop—creating custom cakes, cookies, and chocolate treats—quickly grew thanks to overwhelming community support. In 2022, we opened our first brick-and-mortar location on Bloomfield Avenue in Montclair, NJ.

 

Stuff by SJ is a woman-owned, small business known for hand-crafted, custom cakes, cupcakes, treat boxes, and artisan desserts that taste just as incredible as they look. Everything we make is from scratch, using premium ingredients and a lot of heart.

 

We offer a high-touch experience, including personalized consultations, custom packaging, and free local delivery. Our shop is also home to "Be the Maker" DIY events—from kids’ baking workshops and seasonal camps to party hosting and private classes.

 

Serving all of Essex County and Northern New Jersey, Stuff by SJ is proud to be part of a vibrant community. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone or just want to treat yourself, we create desserts as unique as the people they’re made for.
