The Femme Fatale Behind Créme Fatale

I’m Melissa Manning—founder, flavor alchemist, and unapologetic dessert seductress behind Créme Fatale.

Créme Fatale isn’t just a bakery. It’s a rebellion. A sugar-laced uprising against bland cakes, safe flavors, and polite pastries. Every creation that leaves my kitchen is a little dangerous, a lot decadent, and completely unforgettable.

After years of obsessing over texture, taste, and temptation, I set out to craft cakes that feel like velvet but hit like a bass drop. Inspired by punk rock attitude and luxury indulgence, my cakes are for those who crave more than sweetness—they crave experience, edge, and a little edible audacity.

I believe dessert should never be an afterthought.
It should be the main event.
So whether you’re here for a celebration, a craving, or a scandalous little indulgence just for you—welcome to the darker side of dessert.

You’ve got great taste. Now let’s get you addicted.
