Flour on the apron, lists on the wall

Meet
Manda.

Manda Bell is the self-taught baker behind Whisked Away, with a weakness for sharp fruit fillings, soft colours, and cakes that still look like food.

The short version

Small batches.
Good butter.
No spectacle required.

Manda started baking for family celebrations and kept following the trail of empty cake plates. Today, she works from a dedicated home studio in the Manotick area, offering scheduled pickup for South Ottawa.

The menu changes with the seasons, but the method stays simple: make it fresh, balance the sweetness, and confirm every detail before turning on the mixer.
