The May Bakery

Everything in our bakery is Vegan which means 100% egg-free, dairy-free, lactose-free, cochineal and gelatine-free. with soy-free, gluten-free, and sugar-free options.

We believe that anything you need in a recipe can be found in cruelty-free ways and made even better.

About

My name is Andrea, I make handmade Vegan (egg-free/dairy-free/no animal products) Cupcakes, Cakes and Bakes.

I was a scientist In London for 17 years before I had a baby and decided to have a career change.

As I was at home after having my son I decided to embrace my love of baking as I had more time to do the things I enjoy whilst my son was asleep.

I was used to the hustle and bustle of London and wanted to keep busy in my quiet time!

As an egg-free vegetarian of 20 years and now a vegan I found myself baking as we had an abundance of visitors visiting my new arrival.

I liked experimenting with new flavours as I noticed that there was a lack of good vegan cakes available. Why should vegans have to miss out?

I found that making vegan cakes is not an exact science and it takes time to perfect a recipe that binds and allows the cake to rise. I wanted my cakes to be natural so I didn’t use any egg substitutes. there was great public demand for gluten-free produce so I decided to include those as well.

All of our products are handmade and without any additives or preservatives, and we source high-quality ingredients using some organic ingredients where we can. We use no egg replacers as we like the natural approach.

So that was the start of The May Bakery.
