Have you baked a cake and it turned out looking nothing like the photo? š
Or have you felt like all of your baking and cake decorating efforts were a waste of time and money?
Believe me, Iāve been there many times!


I know youāre the type of person who loves to be creative. I know you love baking and cake decorating. What I love the most about you is that you have a passio n for it. Whether itās to make people happy with cake or just an excuse to get out the cake kit and have fun.
After years of mistakes, successful cakes and countless hours of learning, I want to share my knowledge and skills with you so that you can fast track to where you want to be.
My goal is to unleash your creativity, no matter what experience you have, so that you can say
āYes, I made tha t!ā
So be ready to become the star baker in your circle of friends and family…even beyond!
Whether itās for the love of it or as an income stream, you will become the go-to expert for anything cake related.
Being in your crea tive flow is all about feeling relaxed,
inspired but also having a vision.
Whichever method you choose to learn with me, you will discover your unique style and feel confident to experiment. After all, we all have to be a disaster before we become the master
(see mine below!).

Iām a firm believer in expressi n g your individuality but also
understanding the fundamentals of a skill and technique.
Combining these two abilities will make you feel empowered and confident every time you pick up that spatula.
The proof is i n the pud di ng…

“I love baking, my skills were OK and I am always trying to improve. More than anything it was a confidence thing and I think that stems from having self taught a lot of stuff.
After a class with Mai, I feel more confidence, especially when it comes to certain skills. Drippy cakes don’t scare me now, I feel pretty confident with them, thanks to Mai.”
I really enjoyed my baking tutorial with Mai, she has a very soothing personality that allows you to feel im media tly relaxed.
I felt confident mixing, and baking and had lots of praise which boos ted my confidence with my creativity.
The biggest positive point for me was itās OK if you make a mistake with the buttercream you can wipe it off and start again…donāt be afraid. Iāve had lots of co mplimen ts from friends with the end result.

My cake journey wasnāt so silky smooth and sweetā¦

After watching countless episodes of Ace of Cakes and Glamour Puds, I was inspired and ready to take on the cake world. My husband and I opened our deli called The Big Bagel where I baked all sorts of cakes to sell, from cupcakes, cookies and brownies to our famous Oreo cheesecake. It was awesome!
I was doing this alongside my full time job and after a few months, I had to stop baking and work away from home. I was devas ta ted.
Fast forward a few years, I decided I wanted to make my own wedding cake. I loved making cakes for friends and family where I would selfishly volunteer to make their birthday cake just so I had an excuse to practice and experiment.
Despite several years of experience baking and cake decorating, making my own wedding cake
was taking it to a whole new leve l.
I spent countless days and hours searching on Google, reading blogs, being part of Facebook groups and going down the rabbit hole of āhow toā YouTube videos because I didnāt have anyone I really knew who I could ask for help and guidance.
All of the techniques that I wanted to learn were ā top secre tā and the tutorials I found werenāt quite the style I was after. Even if I found a blog of what I wanted to achieve, a lot of important information was missing, meaning Iād spend more time researching.
Because my confidence was low, I practised at every opportunity I had to hone in on my skills and to discover the best techniques to make my wedding cake. This meant lots of mistakes but also successes and extra money spent having to do it again or from ordering too much!


When it came to the big day, Iāll never forget the compliments I had of my cake as it made me feel that all of the money, time and effort I put into it was wo r th i t. My confidence grew and after the wedding, I was ready to explore and continue practising so that I could become even better.
This made me realise that, like any skill, confidence grows from being competent…you just have to start, invest, fail, get back up again and repeat as thatās what makes you an expert.
As a result, my brother asked me to make his wedding cake which led me to starting M Bakery where Iāve been honoured to make several wedding and special occasion cakes, dessert and sweet treats.
Now, I want to share my knowledge and skills with you to create everlasting memories with cake.
