Illustrated Cakes by Melissa

Illustrated Cakes by Melissa I combine my artistic skills and expert baking experience to create unique and delicious cakes and specialty desserts for every occasion! So scrumptious!

Illustrated Cakes by Melissa: For cakes that make you say WOW! As a professional artist, I combine the best of my artistic skills with over 15 years of experience in baking and pastry craft, for your benefit! My hand-drawn and “painted” artistic renderings in tasty buttercream are truly unique – no one else does it like I do. Looking for something simple or classic? I also do traditional piping te

chniques and beautiful specialty desserts like cheesecakes, decorated cookie cakes, and pies. Flavors: Don't let my wonderful chocolate and vanilla cakes stop you from trying something new! Cake, frosting, and fillings can be made in almost any flavor or combination you'd like. Ever try a cookies 'n cream cake with chocolate filling and vanilla buttercream, a chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting, a banana cake with vanilla cream cheese frosting, an almond cake with raspberry filling and vanilla/almond buttercream, or a strawberry cake with strawberry filling and vanilla buttercream? Vegan/Gluten-Free/Low-Sugar/Food Allergy Accommodations: I have several delicious tried-and-true vegan, gluten-free, or low-sugar cake and frosting recipes, so let me know if you need me to fulfill this request. For allergies, I can make cakes and frostings that are egg-free, dairy-free, and/or nut-free, but please note my kitchen is not a nut-free zone. Pricing: I am a one-person bakery, and when you order from me, I devote my singular time and efforts to create your edible masterpiece. My cakes and frostings are all made from scratch, using the best quality ingredients. Sure, decent cakes can be found at local groceries for less than $20, but I do not have a bakery team working for me, and grocery cakes just don't compare to what I do artistically. My cakes start at $50 and go up based on size, custom ingredients, and/or amount of work involved. Contact me for pricing specifics - I may even be willing to barter/trade. Occasions: Any occasion deserves a special cake! Perfect for birthdays, weddings, graduation, baby showers, retirement, bridal showers, baptism/christening, holidays, movie or TV premieres, special milestones, or any reason you can come up with! Don't feel you have to have a big party in order to have a wonderful cake!

One of my favorites from years past - this cake train! This was all cake, chocolate, peppermint and vanilla flavors (I believe), with an assortment of candy and cookie accents.

My Sweet Story

Cakes that make you say WOW! For over 15 years I have combined my skills as a professional artist with baking and decorating! My artistic renderings in buttercream and decorations are truly unique. Looking for classic simplicity? I can do traditional piping techniques, fondant, and beautiful specialty desserts like cheesecakes, decorated cookie cakes, and pies. Chocolate and vanilla are great, but have you ever tried a cookies 'n cream cake with chocolate filling? How about a chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting, or a strawberry cake with strawberry filling and vanilla buttercream? Flavor combinations are nearly endless. Special diets can be accomodated by request! I make everything from scratch, single-handedly. Contact me for a price quote as prices depend on size and complexity of the cake. Occasions: Any occasion deserves a special cake! You don’t have to have a big party in order to have a wonderful cake.
