Out of this world DELICIOUS cake!!
I cannot say enough good things about Melissa and her team. I came to her asking for a wedding cake that was different from standard white and had fall flavors, and she made the most incredible cake I have EVER tasted. I am usually not a huge cake fan which is why I wanted something special, but when I tell you that this is the one cake I could eat for every meal, you know it's good. Top tier was french toast flavor, and bottom tier was classic white with special icing. Everyone at my wedding had to come tell us how good the cake was. Not only was it delicious, but she executed the look I asked for even better than it was in my head. I will never come back to Blairesville without stopping by for something sweet. I will also never forget the memory of sitting on the countertop in my new home because we still have no furniture, 2 weeks after my wedding, savoring every last bite of the STILL delicious best cake from my favorite day. Thank you so much for such an important task so perfectly executed, Melissa. I look forward to seeing you again.

A Perfect Gluten Free Option!
We loved our cakes from Melissa's! Both my daughter and several of our guests are gluten free, so we had to hire a baker who knew how to make a delicious and beautiful gluten free cake. We also wanted a non-gluten free options, so we discussed how we might display the wedding cake and cut the cake without cross contamination. Thankfully, we used the Royal Wedding as our example, and went with "deconstructed cakes".... which were beautiful and practical for our dietary restrictions. Melissa made our cakes tasty and gorgeous... Thank you!We loved our cakes from Melissa's!

So Beautiful
Melissa did such an amazing job with our cakes. I wish I would have gotten a picture of the sheet cakes she did to go along with the 3 tiered cake she did. I could not have been happier with the taste or presentation. Will be using her again for some upcoming birthdays.Melissa did such an amazing job with our cakes.

BOOK HERE!!!!!!!!! I never dreamed of cake so awesome! People are STILL raving about them! The bridal cake was soooo elegant and well made. The quality amazing and everyone kept talking about how it was the best tasting wedding cake they have ever had. We had a different flavor for every layer and each one was to die for. Now dont even get me started on the grooms cake! We found a random picture on pinterest of a Groomscake that was an Auburn cooler filled with ice and beer bottles and it seriously took people an hour to even realize it was a cake. It was that well done! NOBODY could believe that the bottles were made out of sugar, they looked EXACTLY like a beer bottle. We have funny videos late night of my husband "eating glass" that should be a youtube hit. It was a chocolate cake and it was seriously the best chocolate cake i have ever tasted. I am not even a cake person, much less a chocolate person and i could not stop eating it! I wish i had the opportunity to meet Melissa when she dropped the cakes off and give her a hug because they really were the icing on the cake to a perfect wedding. :)BOOK HERE!!!!!!!!!

Don't even get me started on the taste! I about died when I tasted it. Thank you so much Melissa - you are so so very talented! I would recommend her to anyone!!Melissa is absolutely amazing!

OMG! My cake and the groom's was awesome. The wedding cake was Chocolate and chocolate mousse. The groom's cake was vanilla bean ice cream and vanilla cake - in the shape of a Pearl Drum. Both cakes were really tasty. If I lived closer, I'd most likely order one for just myself and hide it :)OMG! My cake and the groom's was awesome. The wedding cake was Chocolate and chocolate mousse.

We were SO pleased with our BEAUTIFUL wedding cake. Melissa has done many cakes for our family, so I wouldn't have trusted my cake with anyone else. It was DELICIOUS and beautiful all at the same time. Plus, our groom's cake was such a big hit! We had a UGA bulldog cake that looked like "Uga." Everyone thought it was too real looking to be a cake! It was delicious as well. I highly recommend Melissa!We were SO pleased with our BEAUTIFUL wedding cake.

Melissa's Cakes and Goodies was a really great choice for our cake. We decided to have a 2 tier cake for us to cut and let the guests have cupcakes to eat. They were all gorgeous and tasted amazing!! They were moist and the combinations of the cake, the filling, and the icing were awesome! Everyone was raving about how delicious they were and I saw several people returning for seconds or thirds!!Melissa's Cakes and Goodies was a really great choice for our cake.

There are not many cake vendors in N. Georgia, so I almost paid a fortune to have someone from Atlanta make and transport a cake. I am glad I didn't! Melissa was a delight to work with. She had a cake tasting for my parents and I at her home, where her business is located. It was good but I was not super impressed. But come wedding day... it was the BEST cake I have ever had at a wedding! EVERYONE loved it and I am still getting compliments! Also, it looked perfect; just as I wanted!!! And the tree trunk base I rented for her was perfect for my theme! I can't wait to eat the top on my one year anniversary!There are not many cake vendors in N.

I was very pleased with my wedding cake. Melissa was great to work with. I had a photo of a cake I really liked and she was able to duplicate it, adding personal touches unique to my wedding. I know she put a lot of effort and hard work into it, as the designs were complicated. The cake tasted great and I got a lot of compliments on it.

Melissa made an incredible cake and cupcake display for our wedding. Everything was absolutely beautiful - exactly how she promised - and the flavors were moist and spot on. Most people don't really expect their wedding cake to be delicious, but Melissa will ensure that you actually look forward to your first taste. At our tasting appointment, Melissa prepared five flavors of cake and six fillings and frostings so that we could decide what we loved the most. She had hundreds of designs and ideas to choose from, and she put together an absolutely wonderful package for us.
Melissa's one drawback is in communication. She can be a little difficult to get a hold of, but polite persistence pays off. We called on the wedding day to confirm that everything was still a go because we hadn't heard anything since the deposit was cashed.Melissa made an incredible cake and cupcake display for our wedding.

I worked with Melissa's this past weekend and she prepared my wedding cupcakes (50 white pound cake with raspberry filling), one top tier cake (same as cupcake) and 6 pies (pecan, pumpkin, and chocolate). If you are up for something different I definately recommend the pies! THey flew off the dessert table (I didn't even get to try any)! Everyone raved about them. All that was left was about 5 cupcakes, and I did have one of those and they were delish! I would definatley recommend her. My only complaint is that she is a bit hard to get in contact with, but I think she was just really busy. Everything turned out wonderful and I would definatley recommend her.I worked with Melissa's this past weekend and she prepared my wedding cupcakes (50 white pound cake with raspberry filling), one top tier cake (same as cupcake) and 6 pies (pecan, pumpkin, and chocolate).

Melissa provided cupcakes for our wedding. She's a little bit hard to get in touch with sometimes, but ultimately, we were pleased with what she made for us. She made 100 cupcakes for us and gave us a six-inch cake as a gift.
Pros: Really REALLY delicious cake, provided everything on time and looking just as promised
Cons: It would sometimes take me a few tries to get in touch with her, the frosting work was pretty but not the most stunning thing ever (she made up for it by making the cake and icing super delicious though)
On the whole, I think Melissa is a great choice. We had very few cupcakes left over (a lot of people ate more than one), so I think her cupcakes were a success :)Melissa provided cupcakes for our wedding.

I had a hard time working with Melissa Cakes. When we went for the tasting we weren't happy at all. Its was very awkward and the samples left a weird taste. Luckily my venue just hired a baker and we had them do all the main baking. We did however already make a deposit and even though it doesn't say it on the contract, we were unable to get our money back. So instead we went with just doing a grooms cake and cookies with Melissa. The cake didn't have any of the writing i asked for and the cookies weren't presentable. I ending up having people eat them before the wedding. Overall, I wouldn't go there again, nor would I recommend it.I had a hard time working with Melissa Cakes.
