About Sweet Smel's
Established in 2021
My grandma loved to make cakes for our family birthdays and different holidays. I used to watch the happy and smiling reactions on everyone’s faces as she would bring our her latest creation. She brought joy to our family. Anything she made, she made it with love. My grandma inspired me to find something that I love to do.
My name is Melody McCauley and I would like to share a little of my story with you. I’ve been married over 22 years and we have 4 wonderful children. After my first child turned one, he became allergic to peanuts and tree nuts. During that time, it was hard to get labeling information on food allergies. This made life harder having a toddler that wanted to put everything in his mouth. Now, it seems a little easier to find foods that are “safe” with the new food labeling requirements but, I decided all those years ago to teach myself to bake “safe” foods. I wanted to make sure that my son wouldn’t need to feel left out from eating delicious treats.
A few years ago, I started taking some local cake decorating classes and found that I really enjoyed them. Pretty soon after the basic classes I found that I wanted to challenge myself even more with intricate designs. Since that time, I started decorating cookies.
Out of desire and necessity, I fell in love with baking and helping others find joy in MY creations just like my grandma did. I decided to start my own home-based cookie business, Sweet Smel’s. My creations have heart and love in them. I strive try to find a way that almost everyone, especially those with food allergies, can enjoy delicious treats without having to worry about food allergies. I know you will find delicious sweet smel’s from my little bakery.
I look forward to creating joy for you, your family and your friends with my cookie and other treats.
