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!
