Hello and WELCOME to MadiCakes
MadiCakes is my little happy corner of the internet and passion project that keeps my mind creative, my heart happy, and my belly full. I live in Shawnee, Kansas with my Fiancé, Patrick, and our super sweet yellow lab, Paisley Jo! Baking has always been my passion in life. Since I was a little girl, my dad always told me that one day it was my destiny to grow up and open a bakery called “MadiCakes” – named after the traditional and old-school nursey rhyme “Patty Cakes”. Little did he know at the time that not only would I continue to love baking throughout my life, but I would later marry a man named Pat who I ironically call “Patty”… And he is the best taste tester and thankfully my most truthful critic.
My favorite things in life are baking (duh), lake/pool days, my little family, and going to the dog park. Since a very young age, I have always been fascinated and absolutely obsessed by all things baking. After hours and hours of my childhood spent learning and writing down all of my grandmother’s “secret recipes” and mastering all of her tips and tricks, I knew that these things needed to be shared with the world. Over the last few years, I have had the blessing and honor of bringing my visions to life through different cakes, cupcakes, and treats for parties, events, and special occasions nation-wide. However, while I absolutely love playing and creating, there has always been something missing… and to me, that is sharing my love for baking. So, I have decided to take a leap of faith and start this blog as a home base to share my creations, connect with fellow bakers, and truly use my passion for baking to inspire others. I hope you find something here that you love and feel inspired to get your hands dirty and create something special!
Thank you for being here and HAPPY BAKING!

MADICAKES ORIGIN.
Ever since I was a little girl, my dad and I have always had a running dream that one day I would open a bakery and call it “MADICAKES” to the same beat as the “PATTYCAKE” nursey rhyme. While this isn’t a bakery, you have to start somewhere, and the sky is truly the limit!
MY BACKGROUND.
My degree and career path are actually in healthcare. And while I love my day job, baking has always been my passion and creative outlet. So, I started MadiCakes to bring my love of baking and creating to a safe and happy space!
SCHOENEKASE.
The Schoenekase name originates in Germany… many decades ago. Our ancestors were the town cheese makers back in the day.. which makes a lot of sense because the definition of Schoenekase actually means “beautiful cheese” in German!
FAVORITE RECIPE.
I have recently been told that the best thing I have ever made were my scones. Ironically, these are definitely one of my favorites to make as well. The flavor is rich, the texture is flakey, and the overall product is simply delicious!
FAVORITE FOOD.
My favorite food, in the entire world, are my dad’s “pizza burgers”. I have tried to recreate them many times but there is just something special about the way that he does it, that no one will quite master!
CUSTOM ORDERS.
In 2023, before starting this site, I have had the honor of baking and creating treats for bridal showers, school fundraisers, an advertising agency gala, a scholarship fundraiser, and MORE! While I love baking and creating content, baking for others is my true passion. Have an upcoming event? I would LOVE to work with you to bring your vision to life!
