I am a mom, a baker, and the co-founder of Baked by Melissa, the New York City-based brand famous for its signature, bite-size cupcakes and treats. Passionate about baking since childhood and with the idea that people should be able to taste more flavors without a post-dessert guilt trip, I decided to do what I loved and launched Baked by Melissa in 2008 after being fired from my job in advertising. Today, the company operates 14 stores and ships nationwide. I currently serve as the company?s President and Chief Product Officer. I just released my first cookbook, Cakes by Melissa.
