Commissioning a cake from María Amaría means experiencing dessert as edible art shaped by passion, intuition, and a deep love for creating something truly meaningful. Founded by María Araujo, whose time in the kitchen alongside the women in her family sparked a lifelong devotion to crafting beauty through dessert, this studio transforms celebrations into unforgettable moments centered around cakes that are as striking as they are delicious.
Each creation is designed for those who seek more than taste – individuals who value meticulous attention to detail, who are drawn to seasonal blooms and local ingredients, and who understand that a cake should reflect the emotions and uniqueness of their celebration. They appreciate edible art that sparks joy, connection, and lasting memories, and trust a creator who approaches every project with both creativity and care.
What began as a cherished hobby became María Amaría in 2022, when María moved from Mexico City to Madrid and fully dedicated herself to turning a dream into reality. The name itself came in a dream – translating to "María would love to..." – a word game that deeply resonated and felt destined for something special. Today, the studio operates between Mexico City, Madrid, Miami, and New York, crafting cakes for intimate gatherings and destination weddings across the globe, with each experience shaping her evolving approach to design and flavor.
At María Amaría, every cake is a reflection of love, inspiration, and the belief that desserts should be more than beautiful – they should be the centerpiece of celebration. Sharing not just the work but the process and passion behind it has been one of the most rewarding aspects of this journey, and the future holds endless possibility for what's to come.
