Wedding Cupcakes & CakeKat Carle
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!!!
