Your guide to all things baking

Maggie Frith is a passionate business owner, wife, and mother of three who also happens to be a Semi-Finalist from Season 4 of the Great Canadian Baking Show on CBC. After years of practicing law, Maggie left the legal profession behind to focus on her family and a dormant-too-long passion for baking.

Maggie created The Magpie Cakery to do two of her favourite things: gather people together and bake. There is nothing she loves more than being able to share her passion for baking…except maybe a muffin…but only really good muffin.

“Baking helped me feel alive and inspired as I recovered from “life after law”. It’s how I reconnected with family and friends, and it provided me with a unique way to help others celebrate special occasions. Now, I'm dedicated to inspiring others to find joy through the power of baking.”

With thousands of baking and decorating participants and countless 5-star reviews, Maggie’s dream is a reality at The Magpie Cakery!

Sweet Words

  • "Maggie is a fantastic teacher!"

    “Absolutely loved the cake decorating class. Maggie is a fantastic teacher! Loved being able to learn new techniques and skills and the cake was soooo yummy! Would recommend for anyone looking to learn advanced skills, starting a new hobby, or trying something for the first time!”

  • "Can't recommend baking camp enough"

    “Our 14-year old son had the most amazing week at camp with Maggie! He learned loads, had so much fun and is excited to keep the baking going at home. We can’t recommend baking camp enough. Thanks so much, Maggie!”

    – Katherine O.

  • "An educational escape"

    We broke away from our usual monthly manager meeting and embarked on a fun-filled afternoon at The Magpie Cakery! From the first whisk to the final sprinkle, the studio was filled with excitement and laughter. This event at Magpie Cakery isn't just enjoyable; it's an educational escape from the office that we wholeheartedly recommend for your staff.

    – Michelle R.
