    Everything was perfect!

    My husband and I chose Melisa to bake desserts for our wedding, and she blew it out of the water! She was a pleasure to work with, and she made our wedding day extra special! The desserts were beautiful and tasted just as good as they looked! Melisa did a wonderful job, and we are so glad we went with her!

    Cake was perfect!

    Our cake was so perfect—exactly what I asked for! Simple, elegant, and tasted SO good. Melisa was so easy to work with and her communication was top notch. Everyone enjoyed the cake and I can’t wait to dig back in on our one year anniversary!!

I was one of those moms that just HAD to make her daughter's first birthday cake - no grocery store was going to get my pre-Pinterest vision right! So I took a couple cake decorating classes at a local hobby store, and I would bring my homework into the office where I gained a small clientele. I decided that I wanted to persue baking, enrolled in pastry school, left the corporate world, and Sweet By Design was born. That was over 10 years ago, and the mixer has been running ever since! I truely feel that a great cake has to both look and taste great. Without both of those components, it becomes forgettable. My goal is to provide my clients with a dessert centerpiece for their event that the guests rave about long after the big day is over.
