The scRUMptious Dessert: Dayton's Boozy Bakery
From intimate celebrations to indulgent treats, every bite is crafted to feel intentional & indulge
Gabrielle Little is the founder and CEO of The scRUMptious Dessert, a Dayton-based boozy bakery redefining how adults experience dessert. For the past five years, Gabrielle has built a bold, fast-growing brand known for its liquor-infused Bundt-style rum cakes and immersive “scRUMptious Experience,” where dessert becomes indulgent, memorable, and unmistakably grown.
What began as a passion project has evolved into a multi-channel dessert business with retail, pop-up, wholesale, and experiential activations. Under Gabrielle’s leadership, The scRUMptious Dessert has earned a loyal following through consistent appearances at pop-ups and festivals, partnerships with local restaurants and cafés, and a permanent booth at Dayton’s iconic 2nd Street Market, a milestone that reflects both community trust and operational excellence.
Over four years in business, Gabrielle has successfully:
Built and sustained a recognizable regional brand in a competitive food industry.
Secured recurring wholesale and restaurant partnerships.
She has developed scalable product lines suitable for retail, gifting, and foodservice.
Navigated cottage food regulations, product labeling, pricing strategy, and cost controls while growing a customer community affectionately known as “Desserties”.
Gabrielle balanced creative innovation with disciplined business execution,
known for her strategic thinking and hands-on leadership. She brings a rare blend of vision, grit, and operational clarity to every stage of growth. She is currently focused on expanding wholesale distribution, launching branded dessert experiences in high-traffic spaces, and preparing the business for its next phase of scale, including production expansion and multi-location growth.
At her core, Gabrielle is a builder of brands, of community, and of opportunities. Through The scRUMptious Dessert, she continues to challenge the idea that dessert is an afterthought, proving instead that when done right, it can be an experience worth remembering.
