Melissa, or Mel as she prefers to be called, has always loved creating in the kitchen. From a young age, she was cooking meals, but it was when she discovered baking that she knew deep in her soul she’d found something special.  

During high school, she had a part time job many consider almost a rite of passage. Yep, part time at Maccas. While a fast food restaurant may seem an unlikely place for the seed of a future career to be sown, Mel was also a talented artist. Soon she began to wonder if she could merge all her loves and skills into something delicious.

A few courses at the world renowned Planet Cake and Mel’s never looked back.

Happily married for over a decade to Jono and mother to two young, boisterous children, the family recently welcomed Fritz the Doberman puppy.
