About Us
What's in a name?
Maggie and Maisie's Cakes is a small, family run business in Dunstable, Bedfordshire. Formed by Jemma Mailing in 2014, Maggie and Maisie's Cakes specialise in bespoke cakes for all occasions with a specific focus on matching style and flavour.
Jemma's passion for baking has come from many fond memories of baking with her grandmas in her childhood. The excitement of coming home after school to eat "Nanny Maggie's" fruitcake - still warm from the oven with a nice cup of tea and having to chase granddad away so he didn't steal her piece!
Jemma recalls how she used to call her "Nanny Maisie" - "Nanny Cakey" as her house always smelt of baking, cakes, pastries and biscuits - of course - Jemma was the head mixer. Maisie was a wartime baker and Jemma still uses some of her recipes today!
It seemed only fitting that these wonderful ladies should play inspiration to the name of Jemma's business as they had a positive impact on her life and taught her the tricks of the trade (licking the bowl!! - we dont do that to customer cakes!)
The first cake Jemma created was a cake for her brother and sister-in-law when they found out that baby Olivia was on her way (Olivia is now 5 and features heavily as Jemma's helping hands). From this first bake the passion grew and Jemma's talent developed gaining her a flurry of requests for friends and family. She decided to expand into a business last year and hasn't looked back!
