Party Girl was created from the need to connect with people through food in a time where everyone was doing the opposite. Mallory Valvano, Creative Director and Founder, started Party Girl Bake Club in 2021 to fill the creative void in her life and connect people with food and the positive emotions that accompany them. Following its natural evolution and the artistic growth of Mallory, the brand has progressed into Party Girl, a culinary studio and full service caterer.
MALLORY
Mallory Valvano is the founder, creative director, and the original party girl. A textile and fashion professional turned culinary artist, she started Party Girl in 2021 as a creative outlet during the pandemic and turned it into Philadelphia's most talked-about culinary studio. Mallory's approach to food is equal parts art and indulgence, deeply influenced by her grandmother Lola, who taught her that cake is always the centerpiece. When she's not building sculptural cakes or designing large-scale food installations, she's sourcing her favorite cornichons, perfecting a new flavor drop, or dreaming up the next experience that makes people stop in their tracks.
DAN
Daniel Daley is Party Girl's Director of Operations and the savory backbone of the company. A hospitality veteran with years of experience managing acclaimed restaurants and running his own concept as Executive Chef, Dan brings serious culinary chops and operational precision to everything Party Girl does.
His foundation in pizza, pasta, and bread making means the savory side hits just as hard as the sweets. He's the one making sure every event runs on time, every client feels taken care of, and the whole thing holds together behind the scenes.
OUR SERVICES
CUSTOM CAKES
We make statement cakes. Special, one-of-a-kind creations built specifically for you and your event — designed to turn heads, start conversations, and taste as good as they look.
We call it Cakeify. You tell us what you love to eat and what's a hard no, and we reimagine you as a cake — developing a specialty flavor profile and custom design built entirely around your palate.
DESSERTS
Beyond the cake. Full dessert spreads, reimagined classics, ice cream cakes, and seasonal creations. The same artistic approach we bring to everything — just in bite-sized form. Or grandiose and ridiculous. Your choice.
FULL SERVICE CATERING
Party Girl catering is not your average spread. We call it fun dining — 5-course seated dinners, full-service grazing spreads, and everything in between.
Zero copy-and-paste menus. Pastry chandeliers, butter sculptures, cookie towers, gigantic shrimp cocktails, need we say more. A hospitality experience that's personal, interactive, and unforgettable. Serving 10 to 200 guests throughout Philadelphia and beyond.
FOOD EXPERIENCES & CULINARY DESIGNS
Sculptural, immersive, and camera-ready — Party Girl creates food experiences that shape the visual identity of an event or moment. From large-scale edible installations to concept-driven activations, we build things designed to be felt, shared, and remembered.
A natural fit for collaborations in film, fashion, entertainment, and beyond.
FOOD STYLING
In-house caterers got you down? We have a workaround for boring third-party catering.
If every other detail is curated to your eye and vision, why stop at the food? Party Girl offers food styling, set design, and unique wares that elevate the entire experience — just because you're required to serve their food doesn't mean it has to look wack.
Prefer a European garden spread over a tired farmhouse display? That chic, modern, visually striking setup you can't get out of your head but the caterer only has some weird old wood display from the early 2000s? We gotchu.
Our food styling services also cover editorial shoots, brand campaigns, commercial videos, social content, and product launches — bringing deep culinary knowledge and a strong aesthetic eye to every frame.
CAKE SHOP
Whether it’s your wedding, birthday party, record release, business event, or any reason to celebrate, your food and beverage should reflect that. There shouldn’t be a one size fits all as the industry has shown us, so hence our concept of modern catering. Cheese and charcuterie spreads that question structural bounds. Crudite that you can’t tell wasn't still sprouting from its plant bed. Table spreads that look otherworldly and defy all rules. When asking what’s possible, the answer is everything.
We’re bringing the grandiose food dreams of yours and our imagination to life and we want to share that with you. Let’s create a food experience that will undoubtedly please the palate but engage the mind and have you wondering what it just was that you experienced.
