I ordered cupcakes for a birthday celebration for my husband who lives in a nursing facility. I picked them up the day before and they were perfectly packaged for travel. After keeping them refrigerated as required they were fluffy and delicious. The fillings and toppings so rich and fresh! They disappeared as if by magic! I sampled the lemon cream, Boston cream and the carrot cake. But the menu is quite large and price points vary by size and "fanciness." You're sure to find something delicious for an event or just to have with a cup of tea. They make cakes as well from small size to all size wedding cakes. The service was flawless from phone order to pickup and the staff was friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this wonderful spot for a treat for now ... or later!

I was across the street from the bakery when this incident happened. Mainstreet in Willimantic has…read morehad a lot of construction recently and there are contractors and workers working in the area of this shop. Come to find out the owners husband was berating contractors and workers just trying to do their job. I was witness to this atrocity and I felt so bad for the gentlemen that were their just doing their jobs. The husband, Jim Preston, of the owner was screaming profanities, slurs, and every vile name you could think of at contractors and workers. They even attempted to de-escalate the situation by walking away but he proceeded to follow them down the street berating them and calling them names. Kudos to the workers who kept their cool under this kind of pressure they deserve so much better. I will never recommend your shop nor will I ever enter your shop if this is how you represent yourself. This was all over a parking spot, which was on public property and anyone could park where they were they have every right to be there. I will be spreading the news of what sounds like your racist husband to others. Have the day you deserve. Cheers!

We therefore got our wedding cake from Sweet Melissa and not only did Melissa implement my vision perfectly, the cake was beautiful, delicious, and reasonably priced. My mom was even able to order some color-your-own cookies for the kids to enjoy while we adults visited. Since we were a small party, I was not sure how much cake to buy. Melissa was wonderful and counseled us on how much we needed. Though we perhaps could have gotten even less, I am not about to complain! Who would complain about too much cake?!? Thank you so much Melissa! If whoever is reading this is looking for a small-business to support, pick Sweet Melissa. You won't be disappointed!

I loved what I saw from street view already, being someone who loves quaint homeyness over hoity-toity pretentiousness, but upon walking in I almost knew immediately this would be the spot. It's a lovely little bakery, in a very quiet part of Worcester, and I felt invited in by the staff upon entering. Mara knew who we were, sat us down and provided excellent samples on a platter and discussed our favorite colors, ideas, etc. during our consultation. By the time she finished, my fiance looked at me and we exchanged the decision that we were going with On The Rise. Now, it's a way's off before I'll see what our wedding cake turns out to be, but the samples we tried were wonder, the presentation was beautiful, the service was excellent, and I love knowing I'm supporting a truly local staple. (If I remember, I'll update this after the wedding!)

I cannot speak for their catering business, but I highly recommend stopping by for a coffee and a pastry or sandwich! Prices are on point and the quaint space has a relaxing atmosphere.
