meet the baker

Hi, I’m Mary Kate — the face (and frosting-covered hands) behind Mary Kate Cakes!

My love for baking started back in 2020, but the inspiration goes way further back. Growing up, I was always in awe of my Nana’s baking. Her cakes were the kind people still talk about. She had a way of making every dessert feel special, and I’ve always wanted to carry that magic forward.

Baking has become more than just a business for me — it’s my therapy, my happy place. There’s nothing better than queuing up Real Housewives of New York or my Spotify daylist and getting lost in the rhythm of measuring, mixing, and decorating. Every cake I make is a little piece of that joy, baked with care and finished with love (and maybe a little sass).

Whether you're celebrating something big or just want a little sweetness in your day, I’m so glad you’re here.
