For my wedding, I knew I wanted a cake that was both delicious and aesthetically beautiful. Morever, as a general rule, I like to hire competent people who I can trust to do their craft with little micromanaging from my end. In both respects, Melanie hit the ball out of the park!
Melanie made our wedding cake this past weekend—a four-tier masterpiece featuring signature chocolate, triple berry, lemon raspberry, and vanilla rose & strawberry flavors for approximately 95 guests. Nearly all of it was devoured! Each flavor was delicious and fresh, with no artificial flavoring in sight. The cakes were perfectly sweetened, just enough to accentuate their natural flavors, and had a lovely texture.
The cake design was uniquely and authentically Melanie’s. Her signature style of painting florals with icing turned the cake into a piece of impressionist art. I’m already looking for excuses to order more of her cakes for future events!
Melanie is wonderful to work with. I met her at her home for a private tasting with my bridesmaid. She created a warm and intimate experience, setting the tone for all our correspondence leading up to the big day. By the time my wedding arrived, I felt like she was a trusted friend.
I was happy to give Melanie the freedom to do what she does best, and the result is that I got a unique and delicious cake that she had clearly put her heart into. I cannot recommend Melanie and Sweet Pea Cakery LA enough. Anyone who hires her will enjoy a cake that guests will devour and continue talking about long after the wedding ends!

Melanie is an exceptionally talented baker and did a fantastic job creating a display of wedding cakes for my big day! She is so professional, quick with communication, organized, and just generally a lovely person to work with. She was able to accommodate my peanut allergy so I could eat my own wedding cake! I am truly so grateful!

We got to work with Melanie to design our wedding cake. It ended up being so beautiful and timeless. The whole process was so much fun, and trying different cake flavors was definitely one of our favorite parts of wedding planning. All her flavors were so delicious; it was so hard to choose! We went with the berry-filled cake, which was such a hit for our summer wedding. Everyone loved it so much that we brought home leftovers and had it again the next day at brunch. We would highly recommend Sweet Pea Cakery LA to anyone who needs a beautiful and delicious cake. Thank you, Melanie for making our wedding so special!

Truly the most delicious wedding cake I've ever had - I'm still dreaming about it 2 years later. Sweet Pea Cakery specializes in a Swiss Meringue frosting that isn't sickly sweet, which is absolutely perfect for those of us who don't have a super sweet tooth and find most cakes to be too sweet. Our cake was a chocolate hazelnut flavor that truly was one of the best cakes I've ever tasted. Could not recommend Sweet Pea Cakery enough - we will be returning for special occasions in the future!
Who would have thought I’d become a cake artist? Growing up in Arizona, I loved working in retail despite the crazy hours and had always thought I’d become a teacher, inspired by how much I admired my 1st and 5th-grade teachers. Baking was a passion too, with fond memories of my mom’s delicious Filipino pastries filling our home.
Fast forward—Life took an unexpected turn when I met my husband, and his job moved us to Hong Kong. At that time, I knew very little about cake decorating, aside from the rustic sheer trend. With some extra time on my hands after work while my husband worked long
