Cakes By Melissa

Self-Taught Cake Artist

Melissa Albano has been creating cakes for the last 30 years. It started with her watching her grandmother and being so intrigued she eventually started teaching herself the art of cake. She started out by making family cakes, eventually sharing them on social media. Within months a family business turned into a full time business. Cakes by Melissa has created artisinal cakes for the last 15 years. From H.S prom cupcakes, to a shed made for Tanglewood, to large corporate orders, to the most intricately designed wedding cake. It has been her passion for years, and shows in each and every cake or dessert she makes.

I am highly skilled at sculpted 3d cakes. I have made car cakes with working lights, firetruck cakes with lights and sirens, sculpted animals, a meatball sub cake to the replica shed for Tanglewood to intricately designed wedding cakes. I work diligently with my clients with allergies, to ensure they have a delicious dessert , without compromising health ,and offer a wide variety for allergens. I offer local set up and delivery of all of my desserts. I have even delivered as far as New Jersey with a wedding cake. I treat my cakes and desserts with the utmost care, to ensure every client gets just what they ordered, delivered safely.

Spectacular
We had such an easy time working with Melissa from start to finish. She listened to what we wanted and delivered exactly that on our wedding day. The cake was delicious and looked beautiful when it arrived on time. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how good it tasted. If you're looking for a baker who is responsive and creates something special without the fuss, Cakes by Melissa is the way to go.

Delicious & Beautiful Desserts
Working with Cakes by Melissa was such a breeze from start to finish. She listened to what we wanted, answered all our questions, and made us feel heard throughout the whole process. On our wedding day, Melissa delivered the cupcakes herself and set everything up beautifully, so we didn't have to stress about that detail at all. The cupcakes were absolutely delicious and looked stunning on display. Weeks after the wedding, our guests are still raving about how good they tasted. We'd recommend Melissa to any couple looking for desserts that are both gorgeous and genuinely tasty.

Amazing Cakes!
Melissa and her cakes are absolutely amazing! She has so many flavors to choose from, and her combinations were delicious. When we went for our tasting, we had a hard time deciding so we ended up booking her to make our rehearsal dinner cake as well so we could have another flavor cake! Her designs are beautiful and she was so easy to work with. We were very happy that we ordered more cake than needed, so we were able to enjoy it after our wedding day. Will definitely be ordering more cakes from her in the future, 10/10 would recommend!
