Hello, I’m Umaa—welcome to my cake-loving corner of the internet!

I’m a mom, a cake fan, and a forever beginner baker who turned my love for birthdays into this little online home. Here, I believe every cake should be more than dessert—it should be a moment to remember.

Why I Started This Blog

A few years ago, I baked my first birthday cake from scratch. I had no fancy tools, just a whisk, a cake pan, and a lot of hope. When friends came over, they couldn’t believe it was homemade. That’s when I realized: I love turning simple ideas into sweet, happy cakes.

I started Umaa Birthday Cake so everyone can find easy recipes, decorating tips, and fun cake ideas without stress. I want to share what I’ve learned so cakes feel joyful, not stressful.

How I Work

I love a good plan—but I’m happiest when my kitchen is messy and creative! Every post is inspired by a real process: baking, decorating, sometimes failing—but always learning.

That’s me in my tiny kitchen — probably mid-recipe and covered in flour! I believe anyone can make a beautiful cake with just a little love and creativity.

Photos are taken right in my kitchen. I keep tools simple so you can follow along easily. I aim to explain ideas in clear steps so any beginner can feel confident—and maybe try something new.

My Goal for You

I want you to feel excited about cake—even if you’ve never baked or decorated before. My dream is simple: to help you create something beautiful, bite by bite, frosting swirl by frosting swirl.
