María Amaría

María Amaría is a boutique cake and dessert design studio known for its sculptural compositions, visual harmony, and thoughtful approach to celebration. Founded by María Araujo, the studio is our way of exploring the world through cakes — drawing inspiration from nature, florals, and lived experiences to create pieces that feel intimate, meaningful, and expressive.

Each cake is crafted with care in small batches, balancing texture, seasonality, and design to create desserts that are both modern and timeless. Working between Miami, New York, Mexico City, and Madrid, María Amaría is a trusted name for destination weddings and couples seeking art-driven, memorable creations.

We love designing cakes that reflect each couple’s story, style, and personalities. While visual design is essential, flavor is equally important — every cake is crafted to be as memorable in taste as it is in appearance.

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 Miami, New York, Mexico City and Madrid, crafting cakes for intimate gatherings, brand events 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 possibilities for what's to come.
