About Melissa's Simply Sweet
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!

Book her now!
We cannot recommend Melissa highly enough. From the start, her communication was prompt, professional, and helpful. She helped us figure out exactly what we wanted for our wedding - a sweetheart cake with flowers that matched my bouquet, and cupcakes for all of our guests. My family and friend are STILL raving about her baking!! Book Melissa now, she will take all the stress out of dessert planning and you’ll be so happy with the result!
Response from vendor•Jun 27, 2025Thank you Lauren!! It was an absolute pleasure working with you. I wish you both all the best and look forward to baking for you again in the future!!Perfect
Melissa was so easy to work with and very accommodating when we changed the flavors of 2 layers in our cake. The cake was perfect, it turned out exactly how I had imagined it and it was absolutely delicious. We got so many compliments on how yummy the cake was. I would definitely recommend!
