Mel's baked goods are phenomenal! I had her grandma's secret recipe chocolate cupcakes, her pumpkin,maple pecan cupcakes, and her fabulous brown butter maple cinnamon rolls. The quality of her products in terms of flavor and freshness is amazing! 😍. Highly recommend ordering from her she will do a fantastic job! Her cookies are great too!

I ordered frog cake pops (chocolate flavored) for my son birthday, and they were a total hit! The design was super cute, the chocolate was rich without being too sweet, and we all loved them. Perfect extra treats for a fun birthday celebration. I would definitely order again!

Eating the Apple Cider Biscoff cupcakes was like indulging in an apple orchard treat! Baked apples, cinnamon sugar coating, and Biscoff buttercream made this a beautiful experience. The only drawback was that the integrity didn’t hold up as well as I thought; they were a bit crumbly, more like a donut than a cupcake. Nonetheless, the taste was incredible, and I would definitely have more if given the chance!

I got the opportunity to try Mel’s Apple Cider Biscoff cupcakes and they were delicious! I’m not one to eat sweet things but when I do they are overwhelming and heavy, but not Mel’s cupcakes. Mel’s cupcakes were just the right amount of sweet and light. I would definitely recommend getting some.

Made by Mel did all of our cupcakes (17 dozen), a mini heart cake, and a mini 1-year anniversary cake for our wedding in June 2025. We trialed a number of different flavors in the months leading up to the wedding and Melanie was really accommodating in getting those trials to us. She also did a great job of explaining all of the flavor options/combos she could do and was willing to try a new combo that we asked for! The cupcake flavors we chose were a dark chocolate cupcake with a dark chocolate ganache and a raspberry truffle on top (a spin off idea from one of her Valentines cupcakes), Honey Lavender, Ultimate Lemon Bar, French Silk Pie, and Pineapple Sunrise-Up Trifle. We chose to do our mini cake in the dark chocolate cake with dark chocolate ganache and a simple white frosting on the outside. When I say that every single cupcake and cake flavor was perfect on the day of our wedding, I truly mean it. A very big reason why we chose to go with Made by Mel for our wedding was that she uses real fruit and quality ingredients for her cupcakes/cakes. One thing I really love is when you eat a fruit flavored cupcake and it actually tastes like you are eating the fruit, that’s something I’ve never been able to find when eating baked goods that use artificial fruit flavorings. Made by Mel’s cupcakes have way more flavor than any others I could find and it really makes them so fun to eat! The guests were asking us the whole day who had made the cupcakes, everyone was able to find a flavor they loved and it really showed because we had three times the number of cupcakes to guests and we were only left with less than a dozen cupcakes at the end of the day. I had purchased little 4 cupcake to-go boxes and the guests were lining up to take boxes home! For our wedding, and us personally, we wanted the food and desserts to taste better than good. We wanted people to come to our wedding and enjoy a meal that they would have equally enjoyed going out to eat and paying for at a nice restaurant. Made by Mel’s cupcakes fit into our wedding dream perfectly. These are the kind of cupcakes where you eat one and then immediately want another because the flavors are so good and so exciting. 10/10 I would recommend Made by Mel for any events you have planned. Her presentation is beautiful, attention to detail is flawless, and most importantly your guests will truly enjoy the cupcakes/cakes, you will not have a leftover problem - I promise!!!

Mel did an AMAZING job at being creative and delivering on a work of art that the golfers enjoyed.

These cookies are so yummy. I highly recommend these for any of your gatherings.

We gave my parents a 60th wedding anniversary party today. So of course I had to get the cake and cupcakes from Made By Mel. We ordered a lemon sheet cake with raspberry filling, as well as mini cupcakes in the flavors of Buckeye and Carrot cake. Everything looked amazing and tasted even better. I have never had so many compliments on a cake. If you are looking to support a local small business, I highly recommend Made By Mel.

All the items we have gotten have been high quality and so yummy! The pineapple upside down treats that I recently received are my new fav! You can’t go wrong with giving any of Mel’s treats a try!

We got the cranberry almond, and honey lavander cupcakes for our party. And they were so amazing! Everyone loved them!

We tried Mel’s cupcakes for the first time. Bananas Foster, German Chocolate, and Raspberry Vanilla. Oh my goodness! Delicious and incredibly moist. Will use her for upcoming shower and rehearsal dinner. Thank you!

This is my third order with Mel and as always she never disappoints! I gave her a picture of a cake I found on Pinterest and she made it look better than the picture.

I got vanilla cupcakes and they were fantastic! They don’t crumble and they were moist.

The cake was so moist and filled with so many blueberries!!! And the flavor, wow! Multiple people at the party said it was the best cake they've ever had!

Melanie was awesome to work with! The cake was beautiful. I really appreciate the freshness and flavors they were exactly what was wanted. she’s great and I love to support small business. -will be back for future celebrations!

Cookies for a baby shower and they were amazing and the taste was delicious! Mel has made cookies for two events for me and both were adorable. Thanks so much

This is my second order with Cakes by Mel. She does a great job with the designs and the tastes can’t be beat! Very original flavors along with the classics. I highly recommend her for any occasion

Very good work and taste wonderful.

I ordered a cake and cupcakes for my grandson’s 18th birthday. Loved the decorations and the flavors. Would highly recommend!

We got 12 pk of cupcakes we saw she was having a flash sale…it was the best decision we made! The cupcakes were almost too beautiful to eat! We will be for sure ordering in the future for party’s,events, and any time we can! Thank you Mel

Never fails to satisfy! Over and above in taste and looks. One of our special treats we look forward to!

We ordered a variety pack of the new Spring flavors which included ultimate lemon, honey lavender, Dubai chocolate, and a square of baklava. They were all delicious!! The lemon surprised me the most, the flavor was spot on in every single part: the lemon bar, meringue, and the cake. The lavender cupcake was such a fun mix of flavors that all complemented each other really well. If you’re looking for a chocolate cupcake, all of her chocolate cakes are the best - you’ll immediately want a second one. Last but not least, the baklava reminded me of my mom’s and that’s the highest compliment I could ever give baklava! Also, these cupcakes are as beautiful in person as they are in the pictures every single time! These would be perfect for events, the flavors are unique and the cupcakes look like art!

These cupcakes were sooo good and she is so nice! Also the baklava that came with the Tester Box was insanely good. The chocolate pistachio cupcakes were my favorite! I would definitely order them again 🩷

I ordered the Honey cake box (with vanilla cupcakes) for valentine's day and added on chocolate cupcakes with chocolate ganache icing and white chocolate raspberry cupcakes. I couldn't resist trying a variety of flavors! Everything was beautifully presented and super super yummy. Honestly, the white chocolate raspberry cupcakes was probably one of the best cupcakes I've ever had. I loved how unique the honey box was. My husband thought everything was delicious and was partial to the chocolate cupcakes and said he could tell they were made with lots of real cocoa. I look forward to ordering from Mel again in the future and will suggest to my husband for a birthday cake for me :)

They were amazing and so fresh! 1000% happy !

We tried Mel’s baklava, honey comb, and creme brulee cupcake. It was so good. The creme brulee cupcake is a must! I could have eaten a whole dozen

Love!!! :)

I ordered Mel’s variety box and let me just say, mouthwatering. I was not disappointed with a single flavor. The creativity in her work is amazing; the way each incorporated flavor combines in these cupcakes is to die for. Will definitely be a returning customer. 😊

The best!!! I will be buying more and trying new flavors!!

I just finished eating a Buckeye Cupcake and a Mocha Cupcake. They both were absolutely scrumptious!! My favorite was the Mocha but I love all things Mocha, my husband's favorite was the Buckeye and he's loves Buckeye Cupcake and he loves Buckeyes. This year he only got them in the cupcakes...no buckeye candies this year. No jokes these were the best cupcakes I've had in a very long time!! I recommend you order your favorite flavor, and make dessert for next occasion taken care of!! I'll be looking for her new flavors coming out, and I'll be looking forward to trying some of them. YUMMY!!😋 Order your today!!

The sugar cookies are absolutely the BEST I have ever eaten! Excellent job! Great flavor! The cupcakes are absolutely delicious!! So perfectly decorated! I definitely will be ordering more! Thank you! 😊

We got cupcakes, Buckeyes, & christmas cookie from Mel for family Xmas dinner. All were fresh, well packed, beautiful and well made, & of course majorly delicious! Christmas cookies beautifully/artistically designed. In my opinion better than any other local bakeshop! 😁 Great job! Thank you!

Delicious! Perfect! Happy to have cupcakes ❤️

Ordered the holiday variety for my mom’s birthday which included sugar cookies with buttercream icing. We honestly couldn’t pick a favorite! They were all beautifully decorated, moist and had amazing flavor combinations. Highly recommend and will definitely order for future birthdays/events. Thanks so much!

I put in a last minute order for an office party, Mel over delivered and the treats were a huge hit! Highly recommend Made By Mel!

So good you guys definitely have to give these a try !

They were beautiful and amazing - highly recommend ❤️
