Drake Maye’s wife goes from TikTok baker to NBC Sports spotlight after viral “Bakemas” success | NFL News
Ann Michael Maye’s creativity meets regional sports television. What began as quiet kitchen clips has now stepped into a professional studio, signaling a shift that feels earned rather than manufactured. The move reflects how modern audiences reward authenticity, not polish alone, and why networks are watching creators who build trust one recipe at a time.Her rise did not come from celebrity shortcuts. It grew from consistency, warmth, and the confidence to let food tell the story. As NBC Sports Boston opens its doors to her, the moment feels less like a debut and more like a continuation of something viewers already welcomed into their daily scroll.
Ann Michael Maye Beyond Bakemas finds a new home on NBC Sports Boston
The baking journey reached a turning point when Ann Michael Maye revealed she had completed filming her show in the NBC Sports Boston kitchen. In a video shared by the network, she said, “I’m so excited for you guys all to see it. Be sure to stay tuned in.” The project, titled “Beyond Bakemas,” builds on momentum she created during her viral holiday series, though the network has not announced an air date.Her popularity surged in late 2025 through Bakemas, a daily December tradition where she baked a new dessert each day until Christmas. The treats felt personal, not performative, ranging from peppermint chocolate chip cookies to brown sugar cinnamon swirl sourdough. Some even made their way into the Patriots locker room, a detail that connected her work to the team’s culture without forcing the link.Drake Maye acknowledged that support during a radio appearance, saying, “I get to do the good part of trying all her stuff she bakes. I try to bring some leftovers into the building.” Later, he added, “It’s been awesome. (She’s) in her little journey doing ‘Bakemas’ right now. I get to do the good part of trying all her stuff she bakes. I try to bring some leftovers into the building.”Instead of fading after the holidays, Ann pivoted. She launched a January series focused on balance, not restriction. In a TikTok welcoming the new year, she wrote, “Happy 2026!!!🥂 Starting off the new year with a series of healthy(ish) recipes,” followed by, “I’ll be posting over the next month! I love having this date bark in my fridge and it’s so easy to make.”Now heading into the NFL postseason, with New England hosting the Chargers in the Wild Card round, Ann remains a familiar presence at games.Also Read: As Nikki Bella rumors swirl, Cooper DeJean’s ex Steph Wilfawn steals spotlight with viral posts
