IT ALL STARTED WITH A LITTLE BLUE CAKE...

Hi, I’m Maia—mom, baker, digital artist, and founder of BakerCrate.

When my oldest son turned one, I made his birthday cake from scratch. Then I made one for a friend. Then another. I was hooked—not just on decorating cakes, but on the joy it brought and the creativity it sparked.

At every party, I kept hearing:
“I wish I could do that... but I wouldn’t even know where to start.”

I started BakerCrate because I truly believe you can do it—with the right tools, support, and a little encouragement.

I can't wait to see what you create—and how you make it your own.

Here’s to every imperfectly perfect cake.

A KIT THAT DOES MORE THAN BAKE

BakerCrate isn’t just about making a cake. It’s about trying something new, making a creative mess, and learning skills you’ll actually want to use again.

Each kit includes:

  • Delicious, easy-to-use cake and frosting mixes (homemade taste, box-mix ease)
  • Decorating tools and themed add-ons (like sprinkles, fondant toppers, piping bags)
  • Step-by-step illustrated instructions that walk you through the whole process

Whether you’re baking solo or with your kids, our kits are designed to build confidence, spark creativity, and make something joyful together.

WHY WE'RE DIFFERENT

Other baking kits arrive with everything pre-made and you just do the last few decorating steps.

But we believe in doing it all yourself—with our support.

That means you bake the cake, make the frosting, and learn real decorating techniques—at your pace, with lots of support. We offer different skill levels and designs, so you can grow as you go and try something new every time.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

  • That creativity should be fun, not perfect
  • That practice makes progress.
  • That a wobbly cake made with love is more beautiful than a flawless one made under pressure
  • That you are absolutely capable of doing this

LET'S MAKE SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL

Our hope is that BakerCrate becomes your happy place—whether you’re making a wild birthday cake for your kiddo, or just want to spend a fun afternoon learning something new.

We’re here to cheer you on, celebrate your wins (and your frosting fails), and help you enjoy every part of the process.

Let’s make something sweet - together.
