Sip and Ship is proud to partner with entrepreneur and dessert maker, Aliyah Davis o f Black Magic Sweets, continuing our commitment to delighting your errand running in creative and magical ways.

Aliyah hails from Brooklyn, New York whose love for breads and pastries stemmed directly from her Grandpa Ben, bestowing the delicate art of jamming, puréeing, pie making and customizing hand-painted macarons.

Inspired by illustrations in childhood book favorites, “ Where The Sidewalk Ends ” and “ Corduroy ” her designs are made to deliver familiarity, comfort and beautiful deliciousness. Flavors like Razzy Rose, Strawberry Cheesecake, Caramel Horchata, Lady Grey, Pink Lemonade, and Raspberry Elderberry.

Black Magic Sweets (BMS) is black woman owned, working collaboratively with POC, LGBTIA, and women owned businesses like Sip and Ship (Ballard | Greenwood) and Makeda & Mingus - valuing neighboring small businesses and local partnerships. Another example of this is BMS’s local sourcing, averaging 70-80% of their ingredients from Washington farmers from berries to honey. BMS also bakes custom cakes and hand-painted desserts to highlight graduations, bridal showers, new babies and birthdays!

Join us in welcoming Aliyah into the Sip and Ship community!
