Hi, I’m Maya 👋
I didn’t grow up baking with grandma or flipping pancakes in a sunny kitchen—but I’ve always believed that sweets have a way of making life sparkle. SugarVela.com is my cozy little corner where I mix simple ingredients with a pinch of creativity to create desserts that feel like celebration—playful, nostalgic, and made with heart.
The Story Behind SugarVela.com
Truth? I wasn’t the girl known for her baking. I used to scroll past recipes thinking “someday…” while grabbing packaged cookies and calling it dessert. But life has a funny way of nudging you. A rainy afternoon, a forgotten bag of flour, and a craving for something warm led me to bake my first ever batch of chocolate chip cookies. They weren’t perfect—but they were mine. And that moment changed everything.
From that small victory, I fell headfirst into the sweet world of baking. I started playing with textures, flavors, and even shapes—making cupcakes with personality, brownies with hidden fillings, and cookies that looked like little love notes. Not every recipe was a hit (sugar volcanoes happened), but with each try, I felt more at home in the kitchen.
SugarVela.com was born out of that journey—a space where sweets are more than just treats. They’re little acts of self-care, of joy, of sharing something warm with people you love (or just keeping it all to yourself, I don’t judge).
Here’s what you’ll find here:
🍓 Simple desserts with a wow factor
🍪 Cookies that don’t need a mixer—or a reason
🎂 Cakes you’ll actually want to bake again
🍫 Chocolatey everything, because… of course
🍋 Fresh twists on classic favorites
🌸 Seasonal bakes that match your mood
Whether you’re a beginner baker or just here for the gooey center of a brownie—you’re in sweet company. ✨
I’m Maya—a 34-year-old dessert dreamer with a soft spot for warm cinnamon, late-night baking playlists, and the smell of butter melting in a pan. I believe every dessert tells a story, and I’m here to help you write yours—one whisk, one sprinkle, one sugar-dusted bite at a time.
So grab a spatula, maybe a spoon (licking is totally allowed), and let’s bake something beautiful together.

At SugarVela.com, it’s never about perfection—it’s about sweetness from the heart. My cookies might crack, and the frosting sometimes leans a little left, but every treat is made with real love. If you’ve ever smiled at the smell of something baking… then you totally get it. 💕

Thank You ❤️
Before you go, I just want to say… thank you.
Really—thank you. Whether you’ve baked one of my recipes, shared a treat with a friend, left a kind comment, or simply scrolled through SugarVela while sipping your tea—you’ve made this space feel magical.
When I started SugarVela.com, it was just me, a mixing bowl, and a lot of sugar-dusted chaos. I wasn’t sure if anyone would care about a brownie with beetroot or a cupcake that tasted like nostalgia. But here you are—and that means more than words can say.
Your support—your messages, your shares, your quiet presence—has turned this little dessert blog into something real and full of life. You help me keep experimenting, keep posting, and keep smiling even when the frosting melts and the lighting refuses to cooperate.
So thank you—for believing in sweet things, in messy kitchens, and in this journey. Together, we’re filling the world with joy, one bite at a time.
With love (and maybe a bit of powdered sugar),
Maya
