Loved being able to give my son a little sweet treat on his birthday that is reasonably priced!! Also to get a picture makes this mamma happy since not able to see him on his birthday! Would highly recommend using Mels Cookies and Cakes!

Mel was so gracious with my daughter when she delivered the cake. The cake made my daughter feel so special on her 18th birthday. I would highly recommend this business to anybody who wants reliable and quality product. Cake was delicious too!!

Ordered two cakes for my daughter’s bday, and they were beautifully decorated and packaged. Amazing job, and so tasty!

From purchase to delivery excellent customer service! Delicious chocolate chip cookies individually wrapped in a cute box and bow. Perfect little sweet gift for my freshman from OOS, when shipping isn’t fast or as inexpensive as it used to be!! Thank you for your service!

Mel made incredible cinnamon rolls for my son’s birthday and delivered them right to his door with balloons! Excellent baked goods and excellent service!

This was my second time ordering from Mel and both experiences have been fantastic! Products look incredible and taste just as good as they look! Communication is fast and friendly, seamless delivery as well.

Mel's Cookies and Cakes are the best! Great communication & great service and my son said the cup cakes are delicious!

Highly recommend! My son loves them, this is our 2nd year ordering from Mel. Very responsive and reasonable prices. The new ordering system bakesy is a little tricky at first , I couldn’t figure out if payment went thru (maybe user error) but a quick dm to Mel and all is good. Thanks again! Till next year.

Cake was so cute and so good!!

We sent our son a cookie cake for his birthday- so yummy. Our son was so surprised and it tasted so good. The service, communication and value were exceptional. We will do this again! Thank you so much!

Ordered a dozen cupcakes at the last minute to be delivered to my IU freshman and Mel came through with flying colors!! Thank you Mel!! ❤️

First birthdays apart are hard. This cookie delivery made it a little bit sweeter!

Mel delivered an amazing cookie cake right to my son’s dorm. She coordinated the drop off time with him and made the whole process super easy. He said the cookie cake was delicious and he’s a cookie snob!! Would highly recommend! She also sent a picture of him receiving the cake which was amazing for this out of state mom!!!

Awesome cookies and brownies pack. Daughter loved them. Packing and presentation was too good.

Delicious and pretty cake, great service, delivery and so easy to work with!

5 stars! The packaging is absolutely adorable and the food look delicious!

I wanted to try Melissa’s individual meals while family was in town for parents weekend and we are blown away how tasty each dish is. So scrumptious that it’s hard to choose which one is our favorite: Cheesy baked spaghetti and garlic bread (Top pick by 4 out of 4 people) Cowboy chicken with green beans (Another top pick 4 out of 4 people) Korean beef over rice with edamame (Another top pick 3 out of 4 people) Pork fried rice with broccoli (Another top pick 3 out of 4 people) Bbq chicken thighs with roasted potatoes and stir fried veggies (Another top pick 3 out of 4 people)

Melissa helped make our son’s first birthday away from home a great one! She hand-delivered a beautiful cookie cake and was persistent in following up when he didn’t realize at first that the texts were legit. Her prices are very reasonable, too. I’d be happy to order from Melissa again.

I had a cookie cake delivered to my son for his Birthday from Mels Cookies and Cakes. It was beautiful and my son said delicious! The cake was delivered by a wonderful person who my son said was very nice! I think this made his first Birthday away from home happier even during a busy testing day! Thank you Mels Cookies and Cakes for your wonderful cookie cake and care! I’m already planning to send my son a Boo Box for Halloween!

It’s the first time we’ve been away from my daughter on her birthday and Mel did an amazing job with her cookie cake and cupcakes. I asked her if it was good and she replied, “Hell yes!” 😂 I’ll definitely be ordering from Mel again!

These cakes are absolutely delicious! Mel is very accommodating to your needs, responds quickly and everyone loves the taste! Highly recommend

I had a cake delivered by Mel’s cookies and cakes for my daughter’s bday at IU! Mel’s was quick to respond and delivered straight to my daughter! Plus the cake looks delicious! I would HIGHLY recommend them for a delivery!

Mel’s delivered a birthday box of goodies to my son for his birthday. So great to be able to send a surprise from far away. All the cookies, brownies and pretzels were delicious from his reports. Thanks!

Mel is the best! Super helpful, responsive, and so talented. Made the most beautiful cookie cake for my IU kiddos bday. A forever customer now!

After seeing some comments about Mel’s Cookies on a FB group I decided to send my son a little care package with some sweet treats. Melissa was super sweet and the cookies and chocolate covered pretzels were delicious per my son! We wholeheartedly recommend! 😊

My freshman is at IU. I reached out to Melissa on Thursday night. She delivered the most delicious cookie cake and balloons on Saturday for his birthday. Took a lot of coordinating to connect with him. Highly highly recommend!! Thank you, Mel’s Cookies and Cakes!!

Thank you so much, Mel, for taking my last-minute order! The cake was absolutely yummy and exactly what we wanted. We really loved it! ❤️

I can't say enough good things about Mel's Cookies and Cakes! Melissa did such an incredible job with the decor… the colors, design, and font were all perfect. But more than anything, she took a photo of my son for me. It was his birthday and my first time being away from him on that day, and having that picture meant everything. Truly priceless. Thank you, Melissa, for the beautiful cake and for the thoughtfulness that went above and beyond! Also, he says it’s DELICIOUS! Win win!

Not only are Mel’s Cookies tasty, but she is the mother of a fellow student and you can tell she cares about the students she is delivering her sweets to. Great customer service. We will be purchasing again!

My daughter was so excited and surprised to receive her IU welcome cookies kit from Mel’s Cookies and Cakes! The presentation was perfect and of course the cookies and brownies are delicious!!! Ordering was simple and everything was better than we hoped! Thanks, Melissa!!!!

Great quality, friendly service, and impossible to eat just one. 10/10!

Great customer service! The treats were amazing!

Delicious and beautiful cupcakes! Mel was great to work with!

Loved working with Melissa! This was awesome for my daughter who just got dropped off to college, but also had a birthday coming up. The best surprise and such a cute presentation and was delicious!

Mel’s cookies and cakes responded immediately. She was wonderful to work with, delivered to my son’s dorm, the most delicious, individually wrapped brownies to him on his birthday! 10/10! Highly recommend using her for all occasions!

I ordered cookies to be delivered to my student at IU and I couldn’t have been happier with the whole experience !!! The cookies looked amazing and knowing they arrived without any issues made this Mama very happy. Customer service was wonderful and made everything so easy. I will definitely be using them again. It’s such a great way to send a little love from home !

My daughter loved the welcome package and said everything was delicious!

She delivered a cookie package to my daughter who is a freshman at IU! This is a wonderful service as I live six hours away in Wisconsin. A nice way to surprise my daughter when she's so far away from home. Thank you! ❤️🤍

Very nicely done.

Total hit! My son loved it! Thank you so much. He said they are gorgeous and taste amazing!

I am so happy with the birthday cookie cake that was delivered to my new incoming freshman's dorm at IUB. It was absolutely beautiful, and I was thrilled to be able to send her something special since we weren't there to celebrate her birthday with her. Thank you!

My daughter loved the IU welcome box! The cookies were both cute and delicious! Perfect for a gift!

These arrived to welcome my freshman at his dorm. They were delicious and nicely packed. Highly recommend!

I sent my freshman son at IU cupcakes for his 18th birthday through Mels Cookies and Cakes. Cupcakes were yummy, and Mel added happy birthday toppers as requested by us to make them extra special for him. He was pleasantly surprised to receive them. Having birthday away from home especially the first week of college when you barely know people and noone is close enough to notice or make the day extra special for you is hard for a teenager and I am glad with Mel’s help we could make his day special. Thank you 😊

Ordered a cookie cake for my daughter’s first week at IU and it was perfect! ❤️ Ordering was so easy, delivery was right on time, and the cookie cake was absolutely adorable. Will definitely be ordering again!

I ordered a cake for my daughter‘s 22nd birthday. I kinda left it in their hands on what design to do on the cake. I just wanted a chocolate cake and pink frosting. They did a beautiful, beautiful job and the cake was absolutely delicious. My daughter and all her friends loved it.

My daughter was overjoyed when she saw you pull the balloons out of your trunk for her birthday! Cupcakes were adorable and received rave reviews from the kids!

Melissa was a pleasure to work with and she was quick to respond to messages. The cake looked great and she texted me once she delivered it to my son. He said it was the best cookie cake he’s ever had!

Melissa does a wonderful job with her treat boxes. It is easy to order, personally delivered to my son’s dorm and he reports the cookies and brownies to be delicious. She coordinated directly with my son for delivery and sent me a picture of the box. She even made a custom request for a small change to what was pictured. Makes it so easy to send some homemade goodies. And I like supporting a small business.

I ordered a dozen cupcakes for my daughter's 19th birthday. Melissa was amazing to work with - ordering was so easy, she customized them how I wanted and worked with my daughter's schedule to deliver them. On top of them, the cupcakes were delicious. I would highly recommend Mel's Cupcakes and Cakes to anyone!

My daughter was so excited for her box of cookies and brownies! Submitted a question and Mel called me personally within the hour to clarify. Would definitely use her again and recommend!

I’m so thankful for Mel’s Cookies and Cakes, she’s my go-to for every holiday and special occasion. Her designs are always adorable, and my daughter absolutely loves receiving her sweet treats. As an out-of-state parent, I’m especially grateful that I came across her on Facebook. She makes celebrating from afar so much easier!
