About Mae’s Cottage Bakery

Welcome to Mae’s Cottage Bakery, where we specialize in allergy-friendly homemade treats, including delicious cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and seasonal specialties. Everything we make is thoughtfully crafted so that people with food allergies and dietary restrictions can still enjoy amazing baked goods.

I’m Mae Thompson, the owner and baker behind Mae’s Cottage Bakery. I grew up in the Troy/Brunswick area, and my journey into gluten-free baking began when I was about 10 years old. My mother, older sister, and younger brother were all diagnosed with celiac disease, which was my first introduction to gluten-free living.

When I was 14, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease, which led me to adopt a gluten- and dairy-free lifestyle myself. That’s when I began experimenting with gluten- and dairy-free baking in my free time. It didn’t come naturally at first, but I kept practicing, testing recipes, and pushing myself to improve.

After graduating from high school, I made the decision to fully commit to growing my business and turning my passion for baking into my career. Today, Mae’s Cottage Bakery is my full-time focus, and I’m dedicated to continually improving my recipes and creating baked goods that taste just as delicious as their traditional counterparts.

If you’re looking for delicious gluten-free treats for your next event, I’d love to help make it extra special. Mae’s Cottage Bakery is dedicated to providing high-quality baked goods made with love and care. I take pride in using quality ingredients and maintaining a strong commitment to allergy-friendly baking so that everyone can enjoy something sweet without worry.

What My Customers Say

“I’m not usually a cookie or cupcake person—mostly because gluten-free treats never seem worth it. That completely changed after trying Mae’s desserts. I recently ordered two dozen cookies for a Fourth of July party, and they were gone within minutes. No one could believe they were gluten-free! They weren’t just good “for GF”—they were genuinely delicious. Beyond the taste, the presentation was beautiful. It was such a thoughtful touch. Mae’s cookies have completely changed how I think about gluten-free desserts. I’ll definitely be ordering again!” — Mary E. McQueen
