About Me

The Mama Behind the Cakes

I have been baking from home since 2006; when my first child was born.  After years of creating on and off for friends and family, being coined “The Cake Mama” and realizing my love for baking and designing cakes, I decided to officially launch on my 30th birthday to celebrate a new decade of possibilities.

Since The Cake Mama has been around, a LOT has changed! While I still have a huge passion for baking, I also love creating recipes and sharing pieces of my life that bring me so much joy.

I am a firm believer that if you put your mind to something and work hard, you will see the fruits of that labor. I love to learn something and then turn around and share my spin on it. This website is where you’ll find all of my creations- from baking to savoury dishes along with sharing products I love and collaborations with brands I can’t live without.

In my personal life, I have a wonderful, loving and supporting husband who has been in my corner since the inception of my crazy love for baking. I am a mother to 3 lovely children (two girls and one boy) and I love watching each of them grow into amazing human beings.

I’ve also launched a new shop page for placing custom orders and purchasing decorating supplies! You can find it here.

Thank you for visiting The Cake Mama, if you have any questions I’d love to answer them! You can reach me over on the contact page.

Lots of love,

Izabela

Last year I wanted to release my photo presets for lifestyle and food photography. But then self doubt creeped in and I was like... does anyone even want these?! ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
I love a mix of warm imagery with contrast to highlight the colors and cooler tones that brighten so these presets are a combination of the two. If you struggle with dark lighting there is one for indoor shots too!
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
If you like editing photos or are in the food industry and struggle with editing images- these Lightroom presets may be good for you!
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Iโ€™d love to know if youโ€™d be interested! Let me know below ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ“ธ

Your little Wednesday afternoon pick me up. ๐Ÿ’
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Friends, yesterday I had a hard day. I felt like a complete failure. ๐Ÿฅบ I wasnโ€™t going to post about it but then I realized I donโ€™t always want to show up to my Instagram
Family as if things are always perfect. They arenโ€™t. In fact theyโ€™re probably more imperfect times than actual perfect ones. ๐Ÿ˜‚
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
I write this as a reminder to myself that hard moments do exist and they pass and I can get through them. Maybe you are in that same boat right now too. Iโ€™m hanging on to the thought that I am where I wanted to be a few years ago and that good things are just around the corner. Weโ€™ve just got to keep going. ๐Ÿค
