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. 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! 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, I was dealing with some 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 mom are from when she taught me how to bake. 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! Designing and decorating cupcakes 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 cupcakes fresh with no preservatives.

Yes! We can customize any of our designs to meet the color schemes for your events.
Most of our products have a price range because the prices are set based on the complexity of the flowers or the color scheme selected.
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, just 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.
When I started the business, I was more interested in sharing my art with others. I didn't invest in costing and making sure I wasn't losing money. After baking for a while and getting coaching from other bakers, I decided to raise prices so that I could meet all operating costs.
