Hi, I’m Melissa

My name is Melissa Kate, and I’m the face behind CupKate’s Bakery. From an early age, I was passionate about creating things. My passion to bake started around the age of 11 after watching cake decorating shows on TV. I decided to give baking a try, and when friends and family members saw my cakes, they wanted one of my creations as their own. As a result, my business was born, and I haven’t stopped baking since! I never intended on starting my own baking business, but after pictures of my work were posted on social media, orders started flooding in.

Some of my first creations I made at the age of 11.

During a family gathering around the dinner table, my family helped me come up with names for my business. My uncle suggested CupKate’s Bakery, which incorporated my middle name Kate, and the name stuck! I’ve been CupKate’s Bakery ever since! As my business grew, I expanded my menu to include cupcakes, cookies, and cookie cakes. I love spending time in the kitchen creating custom work for my clients.

When I’m not baking, I enjoy creating art, traveling, and playing sports with my family, such as pickleball, disc golf, tennis, and volleyball. I’m also a recent graduate from Liberty University where I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education.

I hope you love my creations as much as I love making them and become a part of the CupKate’s Bakery community.
