Hi! I’m Melissa Marsh, the owner of Petit Four Cakes Bakery in Madison Heights, Virgina!

I attended university (three times!) to study literature, so being a professional baker was nowhere on my radar! I started baking to relieve the stress of studying and paper writing. The more I baked, the more adventurous I became in trying new flavors and new recipes. I discovered that most people who don’t like cake mostly just don’t like super sweet frostings, which is how I settled on my meringue-based European buttercreams. They’re smooth and creamy and just sweet enough.
