The Crumb Exchange (sweet treat swap) in Montgomery County, Md.

Step into a one-of-a-kind tasting experience where every crumb tells a story. The Crumb Exchange, hosted by our friends at Matelna Bakes (@matelnabakes), brings together bakers, dessert lovers, and curious foodies for an afternoon of sampling, swapping, and sweet discovery.

Your ticket unlocks access to a curated spread of cookies, cakes, pastries, and unexpected bites. Trade your own creations, taste dozens of unique treats, and connect with a community that knows the best part is often the last bite. Expect cozy vibes, creative flavors, and a room full of people who take their sweets seriously.

Here’s how it works: You’ll bring a batch big enough to share. We recommend about 25 to 30 servings so everyone gets a chance to taste your creation. (For example: One 9-inch cake or 30 chocolate chip cookies, whatever you decide.) We will provide materials to label your baked creations for allergens.

Your ticket includes:

• Access to the full crumb tasting table — each ticket holder must bring a dessert to share for access to the event.
• A box to stuff with sweet treats you want to take home!
• A flower bar by Agripina and Bloom (@agripina_and_bloom) — arrange your own bouquet.
• A DIY lemonade and seltzer bar with fruit and garnishes.
• A low-key craft project to work on while you chat.
• A chance to share, indulge and network with other dessert lovers

Spots are limited — because the best crumbs don’t last long.
