Hi there! I’m Maya Hogan, a self-taught baker, recipe developer, and cake decorator with a passion for turning life’s sweetest moments into edible art. Whether you’re planning a gender reveal cake that’ll have everyone guessing, a magical unicorn cake for a child’s birthday, or a heartfelt heart-shaped cake for an anniversary, you’ve come to the right place.
CakeRecipeGuide.com started as a tiny spark of inspiration during my sister’s baby shower. I created my first gender reveal cake—a pastel masterpiece with a hidden rainbow center—and realized how cakes could turn ordinary moments into lifelong memories. Since then, I’ve dedicated myself to crafting recipes that cater to every occasion, from graduation cakes celebrating academic wins to whimsical unicorn cakes that ignite imaginations.
But it’s not just about the big events. Sometimes, it’s the little joys: a heart cake for Galentine’s Day, a slice of birthday cake ice cream on a hot summer day, or a surprise treat from our Cake Cart collection for no reason at all.
