Melissa’s Kitchen

Homemade Sweet Treats

Driven by a love of baking and sweet memories of growing up on homemade cookies, cakes, breads and all of the sweet treats. I have devoted a large chunk of my life to baking for family, friends and co-workers and am now making these treats available to everyone.

About Me

Who is Melissa?

I grew up in a small town with a close family. Holidays, particularly Christmas were filled with extended family and a lot of homemade baking – both as treats and gifts exchanged. I received my very first “cookbook” for a birthday gift when I was about 10. It was a homemade book with a collection of family favourite recipes from an aunt. I am almost certain that it drove my mom crazy when I went into the kitchen – at 10 years old, baking was not a clean endeavor and of course, cleaning up was the boring part and often skipped (Sorry Mom!)

I continued on my love of baking and gifting homemade treats. These are popular with family, friends and coworkers.

I have recently dove into the world of restricted diet baking – just because you limit your carbs doesn’t mean you have to give up sweet treats! I have expanded into baking Keto friendly, gluten-free and vegetarian diet goodies. There is nothing I enjoy more than the challenge of taking a classic treat and making it friendly for diets of all types.

Mini Cupcakes

Also have been called “cupcake shooters”, these one bite cupcakes are cute and packed full of rich flavours in a moist crumb topped with creamy buttercream.

Cookies

Traditional chocolate chip, savoury gingerbread, and what cookie collection is not complete without sugar cookies dressed in lightly flavoured royal icing. Have you tried homemade oreos yet? A cross between an oreo and a whoopie pie these ones are addictive.

Mini Baked Donuts

Homemade cake donuts that are moist and lightly glazed. Just in time for fall, pumpkin spice donuts topped with a cream cheese glaze and walnuts. For the chocolate lovers – bronuts (brownie donuts). We cannot forget the apple fritter.
