When my husband and I discovered the joyous news of expecting our first child, we were drawn to the name Maia for our daughter. In our journey of parenthood, this name held a special significance, resonating deeply with us. As we ventured into establishing our baking company, we sought a name that would not only embody our passion but also pay tribute to our beloved daughter, even as she peacefully slept.

It was during this search that we stumbled upon a fascinating historical tidbit – the story of Maia, known as the revered wet nurse of the famous King Tutankhamun. This Maia, a figure steeped in history and respect, was entrusted with the care and nurturing of one of ancient Egypt's most iconic rulers during his infancy.

Intrigued and inspired by this tale of nurturing and influence, we saw a beautiful parallel in our own lives. Just as Maia provided sustenance and care to a future king, our bakery aimed to nourish and delight our customers. This profound connection between our daughter's name and the historical Maia's role resonated with our aspirations for both our family and our business.
