A Community Testimonial...
In its first year of eligibility Pastries by Melissa was named among the "Best of Evansville" for desserts by Evansville Living Magazine! This is quite an accomplishment for a business which is currently custom order only, and not a "retail" establishment. Congratulations Melissa!

Missy
I would like to thank you so much for all your help and creativity with our wedding cake. We received numerous complements on both of the cakes. Brian was truly surprised with the grooms cake. The day was everything we dreamed it would be. I was an extreme pleasure working with you, and we look forward to working with you in the future.

Thanks again for helping make our special day a memorable one.

Melissa,
The cake was absolutely gorgeous! You did a fantastic job! I loved the petit fors, as well. And everything tasted as delicious as it looked. Everyone was commenting on how good the cake tasted and how moist it was. You out did yourself and I am so grateful.

I was so excited to see you and Myra at the wedding. It meant so much to me to have you both share my special day. I am so thankful the Lord led me to your special talents. You two make a great pair and I will definitely recommend your sources to any one I encounter. Thanks again for making my wedding day so special!!

Literally, people stood in line to get a piece of your cake at the YWCA Tribute Dinner. It was one of the few cakes that was TOTALLY gone... It was a wonderful cake, tasted out of this world. There was not a crumb left.

"Melissa's cakes are beautiful and delicious. When I served her lemon cake with butter cream frosting and beautiful yellow flowers at bridge club, everyone kept commenting how lovely the cake was and how tasty. They obviously meant it. There was not a crumb left on anyone's plate. Thank you Melissa!"

"A GREAT cake that represented three of my favorite "toys" (a bulldozer, a machine gun and a Harley) - it was delicious and a big hit at the party!"

(The kids couldn't wait for the cake to be cut. Click here for a peak at this "finger licking good" chocolate on chocolate cake.)

"Melissa is AWESOME! Just the fact that she was able to come up with a design of an Airstream trailer is a testament to her creativity and artistic ability. I still cannot believe she made silver icing! The trailer even had a working tail light - all of that and delicious too... incredible!"

Melissa,
I cannot begin to tell how much Todd and Emily went on about the beautiful groom's cake! Nor, can I find words to express my thanks to you. You are a person who brightens the day of others just by being around. The mints were a big success! One of our friends asked for your secret on how to make them.
