Our Story

Born from heartbreak, built with love - the story behind MailBakes.

Hey! I'm Millie...

and I’ve been baking since I was 16. What began as a small side passion quickly grew into a full-time obsession. I opened a bakery in Liverpool, and before long, I was running multiple locations around the city - including a cupcake van and even a vending machine! I’ve always loved creating cakes that make people feel special. Whether it was a birthday, a tough week, or just because - I believed cake could make anything better.

But as demand grew, I realised I couldn’t keep up with bespoke cakes on my own. I was fully booked, week after week, and I knew something had to change. That shift came from somewhere a little more personal…

Meet Mikey...

My brother, best friend, and now my business partner. We’ve been working side by side for over five years, and I honestly couldn’t imagine running a business with anyone else. When the baking business started to grow and things became a little overwhelming, there was only one person I could have asked for help - Mikey.

From the moment we began working together, things just clicked. He brings the big ideas, the energy, and the creativity, while I focus on the cakes, the details, and the heart of what we do. We balance each other out perfectly, and that’s been the foundation of everything we’ve built.

How MailBakes Came To Life

MailBakes began in a moment when we needed comfort the most. After the sudden loss of our uncle, our whole family was struggling. We wanted to find a small way to bring some light back into our days - something simple, thoughtful, and full of love. That’s when we started sending out little slices of cake with handwritten messages to our family, near and far. Just a small surprise to let them know we were thinking of them.

What started as a personal gesture quickly grew. Our family began asking if they could send them to friends, colleagues, and loved ones too. The joy these little boxes created was so genuine, we knew we had to share it with more people. We made the decision to pause all our bespoke cake orders and go all-in on MailBakes - a simpler, more meaningful way to connect with others.

MailBakes is built on the belief that thoughtful gestures matter. It’s not just about the cake (though it’s delicious) - it’s about showing someone you care, even if you’re miles apart.

Our Mission

At MailBakes, our mission is simple:
To make people feel remembered, loved, and appreciated - one slice at a time.

We believe small gestures can make a big difference. That a personal message and a piece of cake can brighten someone’s day, lift their mood, or remind them they matter.

Whether it’s a birthday, a tough week, or just because, we’re here to help you show up for the people you care about - even from afar. Everything we do is made with love, baked fresh, and delivered with purpose.

Our goal is to spread joy across the UK and beyond, and to keep growing a community that values connection, kindness, and thoughtful surprises.

Because sometimes, cake really can say it better.
