"I ended up moving back to New Jersey and outfitted my mom's garage into a baking studio. And that's when I started doing custom orders and pop-ups and filming TikToks and stuff like that. From there, it was just kind of the snowball effect."
"Anything that we do, I always want to try to either put a twist on the classic or do something completely different that you can't get anywhere around here. I like to really explore everything that's out there."
"I like to work with local artists. Our barista, he did our logo for our sweatshirts, which is awesome. I'm grateful to be able to do this."
Black Magic Bakehouse is a gothic-inspired bakery in downtown Ridgewood, New Jersey, owned by Deanne Veliky. The business began in her mother's garage with custom orders and social media content before expanding to its current storefront. Veliky spent over two years perfecting her signature sourdough brioche recipe, which forms the foundation of her diverse pastry offerings. The menu combines classic items like jelly donuts and cinnamon rolls with innovative creations such as buttermilk fried chicken croissants and pretzel cinnamon rolls. Most offerings rotate monthly with seasonal specials. Beyond pastries, the bakery prioritizes community engagement by featuring local artists and supporting its barista and baker staff.
