Custom cakes, bridal experiences & culinary consulting — Klang Valley.
Melissa Johnson brings two decades of craft, kitchen instinct, and creative precision to everything she touches — from a child’s first birthday cake to a café’s complete menu overhaul.
Meet Melissa
Melissa Johnson is not simply a baker. She is a culinary creative — someone who applies the same instinct, discipline, and pride to a bridal bouquet as she does to a three-tier wedding cake, and the same precision to a café’s kitchen operations as she does to a custom cookie order.
That instinct began at home, watching her grandmother Josephine Narcis — a woman of Thai-Portuguese heritage — work with quiet mastery in a kitchen that never compromised. Melissa has carried that standard into everything she has done since.
She has headed the kitchen of a church catering programme that served plated three-course meals for over 200 guests per weekend. She has walked into cafés and rebuilt their menus and kitchen SOPs from the ground up. She has designed wedding experiences where the bouquet, the cake, and the dessert table all come from one creative mind.
“If you are not passionate about it, don’t do it.”
— Melissa JohnsonWhat she brings
Whether you need a show-stopping cake, a beautifully curated gift, a dessert spread for your event, or someone to fix what’s not working in your F&B kitchen — Melissa is the person you call.
For every celebration
Birthday tiers, baby shower cakes, anniversary pieces, cupcake sets, and decorated cookies. Every order is designed around your brief and baked to a standard Melissa won’t compromise.
For gatherings & occasions
Melissa curates and executes dessert experiences for private and corporate events. From intimate gatherings to office celebrations — everything coordinated, presentable, and on-brand for your occasion.
For F&B businesses
Melissa brings real kitchen experience to F&B businesses that need more than advice. She has rebuilt café menus, standardised kitchen operations, and guided business owners through the practical work of making their food service run properly. Her approach is precise and hands-on — not theoretical.

Weddings & bridal
Most couples hire separately for the cake, the flowers, and the dessert table. Melissa offers something different — a single creative mind across all of it, so the aesthetic is consistent and the experience is seamless.
Her bridal bouquets are crafted with the same attention she gives a wedding cake — considered, personal, and made to be remembered. This is not a side service. It is a specialism that deserves to be priced and treated as one.
The work
Every piece was made to order — for a real person, a real occasion. Nothing styled for stock photography.

@ sugarspunpoppyF&B consulting
Melissa’s consulting work is not advisory from a distance. She gets into kitchens, understands what isn’t working, and builds the systems and menus that fix it. Her background spans large-scale event catering, café turnarounds, and years of developing recipes that balance cost, quality, and consistency.
If you are opening an F&B concept, struggling with kitchen efficiency, or need your menu to work harder for you — this is the conversation to have.
“Practical expertise built in real kitchens, not classrooms. The kind that shows up on the plate.”
