Why Mamma Cakes?
Rituals surrounding birth, motherhood, and babies have mostly disappeared, yet these events are the most transformative times of our lives.
Historical cakes (e.g., grunting cakes) were made by or for birthing women to keep them occupied in early labor and to give them much-needed fuel for after birth. Mamma cakes began with the wish to revive this tradition and give birthing women and people bento cakes, a cake just for them to celebrate their amazing capacity to birth a baby!
Mamma cakes believes that motherhood and families deserve a treat, no matter what stage of life they are in. So we offer cakes for pregnancy, birth, motherhood, babies, and children.
Birthingday
Birthday
Treat a new or existing Mamma
Pregnancy, birthing, and motherhood is hard work. Treat a pregnant woman or person, someone who just gave birth or an existing mother to a cake just for them. We recommend Bento cakes.
Treat a baby, toddler, or child
That first taste of sugar is magical! Treat a baby to their first smash cake or a toddler birthday cake. We recommend petit cakes or cupcakes. For children’s birthdays or for gatherings we recommend larger cakes (20cm or larger).
