Our Story

Hello! I am Idah or Mai Lara, the owner and baker at Mai Lara's bouqcakes. I have been living in Madison WI for about 10 years. I am originally from Zimbabwe. I am a Software Engineer by profession and I love DIY projects and hobbies. Mai Lara means Lara's mom in Shona, the main native language spoken in Zimbabwe. Back in Zimbabwe if you are a mom you are always referred to as so and so's mom so I wanted to include that part of my culture into my business! Bouqcakes comes from the bouquet of cupcakes which is my main product. So, the full name of my business means Lara's mom's Bouqcakes and Bakes!

I started this home baking business initially as a hobby right after I had my daughter Lara(short for Omolara a Yoruba name). As a new mom in a foreign country, I was strugglingwith postpartum blues and so I decided to look for a new hobby. I have always loved baking and some of my fondest memories of my late mom are from when she taught me how to bake. I always baked birthday cakes for my friends and family. The first time I made floral cupcakes, my family and friends said I should start a business! After doing it a few more times, I decided to start Mai Lara's Bouqcakes and Bakes! Designing and decorating cupcakes and cakes has turned into a passion for me and I am happy to share it with all of you! I hand pipe all the flowers and I make all my baked goods fresh with no preservatives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at mailarasbouqcakes@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Can I select a different color other than what's shown in the pictures?

Yes! We can customize any of our designs to meet the color schemes for your events.

Why do most of the products have a price range?

Most of our products have a price range because the prices are set based on the complexity of the design or the color scheme selected.

Why can't I get a small order(box of 6 or bouquet of 7) any day of the week anymore?

Since we are a custom order bakery, when we get a small order, we bake a whole batch and only end up using half a batch. Limiting small orders will help us avoid wasting. We still offer small orders based on availability for Saturday pick-up. Designs will be limited, check with us what the design of the day will be and we can let you know whether or not we can make any further customizations for you. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.

Do you have a storefront?

Not at this time! We are a home bakery and take custom orders only. We do attend various markets in the Madison and Milwaukee areas. Keep an eye on our social media for market details.

What areas do you serve?

Order pick up is in Madison Wisconsin but we do deliver all the way to Milwaukee! Orders 30 minutes outside of Madison are subject to size and cost.

Where do I pick up my order?

Pick up is now on the West Side of Madison by the Metro Market on Junction Road.
