Mira IsaacrecommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. 5 Stars – A Flawless Experience with Mela’s Sweets! I cannot say enough amazing things about Mela’s Sweets! From start to finish, everything about my experience was exceptional. I hired her to create a dessert spread for my nautical-themed bridal shower, and what she delivered was beyond my expectations. The desserts—pretzel rods, Rice Krispies treats, Oreos, cake pops, and cupcakes—were all custom-made to match the theme. They were beautifully presented, incredibly fresh, and absolutely delicious. The attention to detail was evident in every single item. My guests couldn’t stop talking about how amazing everything looked and tasted—the dessert table quickly became one of the most talked-about and photographed parts of the event. And the breathtaking custom cake? It completely stole the show. It tied the entire theme together and looked like it belonged in a high-end bridal magazine. It wasn’t just a pretty centerpiece either—it was moist, flavorful, and expertly made. The quality was outstanding. What impressed me just as much as the desserts was the amazing price. For the level of customization, taste, and presentation, the value was truly unbeatable. I was blown away by how much I received for such a fair and reasonable cost. On top of that, she was an absolute dream to work with—professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in making sure everything turned out perfectly. Pick up and setup were smooth and stress-free, and the end result was flawless. If you’re planning any kind of special event and want desserts that are beautiful, delicious, and budget-friendly, do yourself a favor and book Mela’s Sweets.
