Each cake is handcrafted with intention—designed to be just as delicious as it is beautiful. From intimate gatherings to grand weddings, we’re honored to bring a sweet touch to your happiest moments with cakes that celebrate love, artistry, and flavor.
Where cake meets art
Meet Melanie
Melanie is the self-taught baker and creative heart behind Sweet Pea Cakery LA, a boutique cake studio based in La Cañada Flintridge, CA located in the foothills of the Verdugo Mountains. With a background in retail and a lifelong love of art and design, she brings both creativity and an eye for detail to everything she makes.
What began in 2014 as a love for crafting birthday cakes for her children soon blossomed into a passion for creating custom cakes for weddings and life’s most meaningful celebrations. Raised in a home where food was our love language—and still very much is in her own family today—Melanie is deeply inspired by the joy and connection that come from gathering around something beautiful and made by hand.
Her work is known for clean lines, whimsical charm, and delicate, intentional details—with a special focus on buttercream textures and floral artistry. Each cake is thoughtfully designed to be personal, memorable, and truly one of a kind.
