About Melissa’s Simply Sweet
Just how sweet is Melissa’s Simply Sweet? Oh so sweet, — and my “oh so sweet” story begins with a unique love for service and commitment to my exclusive craft. My passion for baking began at an early age. After venturing into the hotel industry at the Hotel and Culinary School of Santa Barbara, California, I somehow managed to stumble onto the very unexpected culinary art of baking, and haven’t looked back. I never imagined beginning a career in the culinary industry, but after creating my son's 2nd birthday cake 19 years ago, I fell in love and hit the ground running.
In 2011 I decided to take this sweet business full time and expand into all types of desserts! I fell in love with decorated cookies, cakes, pies and more! I continued my education taking as many classes I could find to grow as the business was taking off. After I was married in 2014 I fell in love with making my own wedding cake and began offering wedding cakes as well! In 2022 I decided to take the bakery Nut Free and Allergy Friendly, as a parent to kids with severe food allergies I understand the struggle to offer safe sweets. I would love to be part of your next celebration and sprinkle some sweetness on your special day!
