Welcome to Mum Bakes Cake, a family blog created by me, Louise – a mum of three and wife who loves spending time in the kitchen making simple, delicious treats for her family.
This blog isn’t about perfection or professional baking. It’s about real life, real kitchens, and recipes that fit around busy family life. Every recipe shared here is something I’ve made at home, tested with my family, and genuinely enjoyed – from easy cakes and traybakes to quick sweet treats and weekend baking ideas.
A Mum Who Loves to Bake
I love baking but I’m not perfect – far from it and you won’t find many Instagram perfect creations/images here. I’d love to say that I make beautifully decorated birthday cakes but the truth is the only cake I’ve mastered is a fruit cake. I do love to bake biscuits, cupcakes, after-school treats, and those little extras that make family life feel a bit more magical. Over time, baking became something I truly love, and Mum Bakes Cake grew from that.
I’m not a trained baker, and I think that’s what makes this blog relatable. The recipes here are:
- Simple and easy to follow
- Made with everyday ingredients
- Family-friendly and realistic
- Perfect for beginners or busy mums
If you’ve ever felt like baking is too complicated, I’m here to show you it doesn’t have to be.

Why Mum Bakes Cake?
Because baking doesn’t have to be perfect to be special.
Whether it’s a slightly wonky cake or a last-minute batch of cupcakes, it’s those homemade touches that matter most. For me, baking is about creating memories with my children, enjoying time at home, and sharing something made with love.
