Bake like a PRO with MSO at Home!

This is not a drill…the MSO website is going away in a few short hours....(less than 48 at this point)!

What does that mean for you!? It means you need to hop on over NOW to secure your favorite MSO recipes while you still can!

Mel’s recipes at your fingertips!

MSO fans have already been baking their way through MSO scones, GF Cinnamon Rolls, Shortbread, Oatmeal Cream Pies and more for the last few months.

With the addition of biscuit recipes and popular cupcakes in the last month; what more could you want!?

Well, for those of you that might be wanting a little (or a lot) more…you can now buy all 32 recipes on the site at a discounted price.

I have also added a couple of MEMBERSHIP options. You know I have more than just 32 recipes in my pocket…I’ve got pearls to keep you baking for years to come!

From rhubarb favorites, to seasonal scones (peach; eggnog; gingerbread); pineapple upside down cake; classic almond-raspberry petit fours, along with the tried and true sweets (scones, cupcakes, cookies and more) you’ve come to know and love…and other gems that never even made it to regular rotation in the Shop. *If you’ve already purchased some recipes, but are interested in membership, don’t worry. Recipes will be hand selected by me so there’s no overlap!

>>Don’t miss your chance to be a part of the community that’s bringing the sweet quality of Mel’s decades of experience to happy homes across the country!

📣”Last call, you don’t have to go home…but you can’t stay here”

…last hours (roughly 72…but who’s counting 😉)

We are officially in the final day(s) of the MSO website; with easy access to these fabulous recipes at your fingertips, but get your order in before April 1!

Owen (17) used the MSO Chocolate Chip/Chunk recipe for an English assignment to write a “How to” on an “Elevated experience” he also had to demonstrate the recipe and process. The video he made is attached.

Why not have this recipe…and other MSO favorites in rotation at your house!?

I’ve heard (and seen) a lot of MSO fans trying their hand at scones, oatmeal creams and cakes…get your favorites, or sign up for a “membership” and receive recipes each month…or buy the lot of them, and never be at a loss for a sweet treat again!
