The ingredients

Premium ingredients. Pastry-kitchen standards.

Dave uses the same ingredients he used in professional pastry kitchens: premium couverture chocolate, real butter, real vanilla and plenty of good nuts. They cost more. You can taste the difference.

Premium couverture chocolate

Always made with premium couverture chocolate, the same quality professional pastry kitchens use.

Real butter, always

Everything baked is made with real butter. No margarine, no shortening.

Real vanilla

Vanilla bean paste, with the seeds in it. Never artificial flavouring.

Good nuts, and plenty of them

Hazelnuts, macadamias, pecans and almonds, used generously.

Pure maple syrup

The granola is sweetened with real maple syrup, not flavoured syrup.

Nothing from a mix

Every recipe is Dave's own, made from scratch with ingredients he'd use in a restaurant.

The menu

A short list, done properly.

About Dave

Belfast born. Classically trained.

Everything Dave makes starts with the ingredients: premium couverture chocolate, real butter, vanilla bean paste, pure maple syrup and the best nuts he can buy. No mixes, no shortcuts, and nothing he wouldn't serve in a restaurant.

Dave grew up in Belfast. He spent fifteen years working in restaurants around the world before deciding he'd rather be on the other side of the pass.

He trained in pastry arts at L'Académie de Cuisine in Gaithersburg, learning classical French pastry from a syllabus written by Roland Mesnier, the White House pastry chef for twenty-five years, and graduated with honours in 2017.

He went on to Bread Furst in DC as a pastry cook and bread baker under Mark Furstenberg, the James Beard Foundation's Outstanding Baker that year, then ran the pastry section at Red's Table here in Reston.

What he bakes now is simple, generous and not fussed over. European technique, American appetites.

NOT FOR RESALE — PROCESSED AND PREPARED WITHOUT STATE INSPECTION

Made by hand by Dave's Baked Goods LLC in a home kitchen in Reston under Virginia's Home Kitchen Food Processing Exemption (Code of Virginia § 3.2-5130). The kitchen is not inspected by the state. We sell shelf-stable baked goods and confections direct to customers in Virginia only, never wholesale or for resale.

Allergies. One kitchen makes everything, and it handles wheat, milk, egg, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, sesame and coconut, so cross-contact is possible on every item. Full lists are on the allergen page. If an allergy is serious, talk to Dave before you order.
