Welcome Home
Hey! I'm Maggie,
Mum of 2 crazy kidlets, baker and teacher of all things delicious.
🌟 Multi-award winning baker 🌟
- ACADA 2024 and 2025 Teacher of the Year
- 2021 SA Woman Mum in Business
- Multiple first, second & third place entries in Royal Adelaide Show Open and Professional Baking Competitions
Adelaide Bakes was born in 2016 after the birth of my son because I wanted to teach the skills, techniques and recipes that I'd spent the previous 12 years perfecting.
I had no idea I would find my absolute passion in teaching and mentoring bakers!
After 4 years of teaching hands-on classes to hundreds of students I knew it was time to move online, to reach more amazing bakers, to share my knowledge and skills and impart my passion for the baking industry on those who are just coming in.
Adelaide Bakes Academy is where I share award-winning recipes, techniques and passion for teaching from my hands-on classes with the ability to create the best and most supportive baking community from around the world.
My greatest goal is to inspire and encourage bakers of all levels to try new techniques and impact and support those who are in the business of baking to maintain high standards in the industry.
Here's what current ABA students have to say!

The best vanilla cupcakes!I have tried so many but have found it difficult to find one that isn’t dry and/or stale after the first day. Yours are so moist and still fresh for as long as they last before they’re all eaten
