Who we are

Bake with Maria was founded by keen home baker Maria Mayerhofer. The company started out in Maria’s own kitchen where she taught groups of people how to make their own bread at home. The classes soon became very popular, and many of them would be booked out shortly after being posted online. The feedback from students has been so positive and the demand for classes was more than a small domestic kitchen could cope with. Feeling assured that there was a demand for baking classes in London, Maria took the next step and opened up The Baking Lab in the beginning of November, 2011.

The Baking Lab features high quality domestic appliances, so that all the lessons conducted in the Baking Lab can be replicated at home without fancy ovens or endless pieces of baking equipment.

Come and experience the Baking Lab and sign up for one of our many fun and insightful baking classes!

Maria Mayerhofer – Baker & Owner

I’ve been baking ever since I was a little girl. I love spending time in my kitchen trying out new recipes and making up my own!

My big passion is home baked bread and cakes – no bread machines in my kitchen! I enjoy kneading bread, seeing the dough develop in my hands, and taking the tray of steaming, delicious smelling bread out of the oven.

Besides the sheer enjoyment of baking your own bread and not having to rely on boring white bread from the supermarket, I agree that home baked bread has a high nutritional value. So baking your own bread is not only fun and rewarding, but it contributes to a healthier lifestyle.
