Welcome to Mick’s Living Room!

Hi Everyone,

I’m Mick! Baking has been my passion for as long as I can remember. Whether it was playing with an Easy-Bake Oven with my uncle as a child or baking red velvet cake with my mom as an adult, you could always find me in the kitchen covered in flour.

The name MLR originally stood for Marsha’s Living Room. Marsha, my mother, opened her living room to the young people in her life, offering them a safe space to vent their frustrations and find support. That's the kind of community I want to create, and that's why I created MLR.

Currently, Mick’s Living Room is only an online store, but my goal is to build a physical space where everyone feels welcomed and accepted, just like my mother's living room. My house has always had an open-door policy for those who know me, and I wanted to bring that aspect of my home to MLR.

Although MLR is currently online, the plan is to expand into a storefront, becoming a staple in the community and creating that "third place" where everyone feels welcome.
