ABOUT MELISSA
The heart and soul of MEAN Treats & Cake Design
Melissa Bertoncini, the passionate owner and founder of MEAN Treats & Cake Design, brings a unique blend of creativity, skill, and love to every sweet creation. With a background as a hairdresser and a lifelong passion for baking, Melissa's journey to becoming a celebrated cake artist is as rich and layered as her confections.
A Legacy of Love and Flavour
Growing up as the youngest of four siblings, Melissa's earliest baking memories are filled with warmth and inspiration. Her mother, an adventurous and talented cook, instilled in her a deep appreciation for the art of creating delicious treats. Each birthday was marked by a spectacular cake from the Women's Weekly cookbook, lovingly recreated by her mother with unparalleled skill and care.
These cherished moments in the kitchen, learning tips and tricks from her mum, laid the foundation for Melissa's future in the world of baking. The dream of becoming a baker, once a whimsical childhood fantasy shared with her mother, has now blossomed into a thriving business that brings joy to countless customers.
Passion meets purpose
At MEAN Treats & Cake Design, Melissa's philosophy is simple yet profound: food is a language of love. This belief, inherited from her mother, infuses every aspect of her work. From custom wedding cakes that become the centrepiece of lifelong memories to birthday treats that light up faces with delight, each creation is crafted with the same care and attention to detail that Melissa's mother poured into those childhood birthday cakes.
