Bio: Taught by local expert treat maker and cake decorator, Alexa Melhado of Tootie Treats. Alexa started baking at age 4 with her grandmother and it is believed that her first baking accomplishment was using a box of Jiffy corn muffins! She loved it so much that with her grandmother’s help, she wrote a fan letter to the company, and they shipped a giant box of Jiffy mixes just for her!
Creating any kind of art has always been her greatest joy, so it just makes sense that Tootie Treats came to be. Over the years, Alexa took classes just like this one, and even flew to different parts of the country to learn from her cake heroes, perfecting her skill set and stepping into her own style as a creator.
Alexa’s teaching style is fun and informative, with an emphasis on encouraging students to use their imagination and go beyond what a reference photo may show! Alexa wants her students to have fun, color OUTSIDE the lines, and let their artistic intuition run the show.
