When you walk into Sprinkle Joy Bakery in Hampton, VA, you're immediately wrapped in the cozy aroma of fresh-baked goodness—and the warm smile of its owner, Katy, a Hampton native who’s quickly becoming the area’s favorite new baker.
Though her storefront only opened five months ago, Katy’s passion for baking started decades earlier in her grandmother’s kitchen, where pie crusts were rolled out by hand and cupcakes were decorated with love (and sprinkles, of course). That same heart-centered energy fills her shop today, and the community has responded with open arms—and hungry stomachs.
“I always knew I wanted to create something that made people feel that same kind of joy I felt baking as a kid,” Katy shares. “That’s where the name came from—I want to sprinkle joy into people’s lives, one treat at a time.”
🎂 All-Natural, Always Delicious
What makes Sprinkle Joy stand out isn’t just the cheerful vibe—it’s the commitment to quality ingredients. Every item in the case is made with all-natural, real-food components. You won’t find artificial colors or flavors here. Even the sprinkles are dyed with plant-based pigments.
“People can really taste the difference,” Katy explains. “We don’t cut corners. Everything is made with love—and ingredients your grandmother would recognize.”
That philosophy extends to her growing lineup of vegan offerings, which Katy proudly developed to serve friends, family, and customers who live plant-based lifestyles. Her vegan chocolate peanut butter cupcake is already a bestseller, with customers saying they can’t even tell it’s dairy-free.
🧁 Trending Flavors & Custom Creations
While Katy loves a classic vanilla bean cupcake or a rustic peach pie, she’s also tuned in to the trends. “We’ve done matcha cream puffs, cookie dough macarons, and even lavender lemon bars,” she laughs. “I like to keep things fun.”
Sprinkle Joy Bakery also accepts custom orders for birthdays, weddings, and corporate events. From towering tiered cakes to fully stocked dessert tables, Katy’s creative touch transforms baked goods into edible art.
👩🍳 Rooted in Community
A big part of Katy’s mission is to give back to the community that raised her. Having grown up in Hampton, she finds deep joy in reconnecting with familiar faces and supporting local events.
“It’s surreal,” she says. “Some of the people who came to my Girl Scout cookie booth as a kid are now coming in to buy cupcakes for their grandkids.”
