What bakery does Victoria work at when she meets Ted?

Victoria works at The Buttercup Bakery when she meets Ted in How I Met Your Mother.

Ted meets Victoria at the wedding reception of his friends in the season-one episode “The Wedding.” She has baked the wedding cake, but she initially hides her identity by calling herself “Buttercup.” Ted likewise uses a false name, allowing them to enjoy one anonymous evening together without the usual pressure of dating.

Marshall later discovers that the wedding cake came from The Buttercup Bakery. Ted realizes that Victoria was the baker and tracks her down there. The bakery therefore becomes the clue that turns a seemingly impossible reunion into the beginning of Ted and Victoria's relationship.

Victoria, played by Ashley Williams, is a baker rather than a member of Ted's usual social circle. Their relationship becomes complicated when she receives a cooking fellowship in Germany, leading to a long-distance arrangement. Viewers sometimes confuse the bakery with Victoria's nickname, Buttercup, but the answer refers to the establishment where she works.
