Our Story

Hi, I’m Melanie! I’ve spent years decorating cakes for weddings and special events, honing my skills through Wilton’s decorating program and pouring my creativity into every project. I’m married to my husband Matt, a homeschool mom of more than sixteen years, a proud mother of eight, and a grandmother of seven. Based in beautiful Temecula, I love sharing my passion for cake decorating with kids and teens. My hands-on classes give young bakers a chance to experiment, express themselves, and discover the joy of creating something both beautiful and delicious. For me, teaching is about more than technique—it’s about inspiring confidence, imagination, and a lifelong love for creativity.

My own cake-decorating journey began at home, where our birthday celebrations usually featured a simple 10x13 sheet cake with canned frosting—and everyone loved it. Still, I wanted to make those moments even more special, so I signed up for Wilton’s cake decorating program. There, I learned the fundamentals of baking, stacking, and frosting cakes, and how to use buttercream to craft flowers and patterns that transformed a simple cake into something magical. That experience sparked a passion that grew from decorating cakes for my family and friends into a full-fledged business creating custom designs for weddings, birthdays, and special events. I’m forever grateful to the instructor who shared their talent with me, and I’m thrilled to now pass that same inspiration along to the next generation of sweet creators.
