Great Fun!

Melissa set up a Cupcake Challenge for my daughter's 9th. It was absolutely great. All the kids separated into teams and after they made the cupcakes they got to present them to some parent judges. The kids had a blast, the cupcakes were awesome...and my daughter didn't look at a screen the whole time:)

Simply wonderful

Melissa is creative, thoughtful, informative and talented. My niece and her friends loved the party. They actually had another party to go to after the baking party but sat around moping, sad that they had to leave. They wanted to keep decorating.

Best Birthday Party Ever!

My daughter had her 12th birthday party hosted by Melissa. Everything about it was perfect. Melissa showed up with everything and kept the girls entertained for hours. She is super professional and personable. The cupcakes were amazing, as well as the aprons and the games. I would highly recommend Baking with Melissa for any age!

Parents and event organizers can relax and enjoy the celebration while Melissa leads the activities, supports the guests, and keeps the experience organized and moving.
