The baker

baked by hand, in Los Angeles

A small-batch cake studio built on real butter, seasonal fruit, and a lot of fresh flowers.

Mayday Bakes started as a way to turn every celebration into something you'd want to photograph before you cut it.

What began as cakes for friends' birthdays turned into a standing request: something that tasted as good as it looked, made for the person and the moment. So that's what Mayday is — no cases of pre-made cakes, no two orders alike.

Everything is baked to order in small batches here in Los Angeles. The flowers are picked to match the season and your colors, and every cake is finished by hand the morning it's due.

How we bake

a few things we won't cut corners on

Made to order

Nothing sits in a case. Your cake is baked fresh for your date and decorated the morning of.

Real & seasonal

Real butter, real fruit, and flavors that follow what's good right now — not a fixed year-round menu.

Flowers you can trust

Every bloom is food-safe and chosen to match your colors — added as garnish and removed before serving.
