The Story of Melt in Your Mouth

Silpa Pande with Melt in Your Mouth cupcakes

Hi, I am Silpa Pande, owner of Melt in Your Mouth. Originally from a beach town in India, I came to America to pursue a Master’s degree in Computer Science. At the time I had no baking experience. 

One day, a friend gifted me a homemade cake. It was incredibly delicious and such a meaningful gesture at that point in my life. That experience was the starting point even though I didn’t realize it at the time. I just wanted to create moments like that for my friends and family too, so I learned to bake. 

Then half a decade later, I was put on a dairy-free & soy-free diet while nursing my daughter. I became more aware of the food I was eating and its effect on my body and mind. I could not believe how difficult it was to find healthy, allergy-friendly desserts that were actually tasty. It was as difficult as going through labor!

When my daughter turned a year old, I quit a high-tech product marketing job and started Melt in Your Mouth for everyone who loves quality desserts as much as I do, but also wants their loved ones to eat clean foods made with real ingredients that fit into a balanced diet. 

We started as a test concept at the Walpole Farmers Market and quickly expanded to selling at other farmers markets and local farms. We are known for our light and fresh buttercream-frosted cakes and cupcakes. Demand for our coffee cakes has surged recently too – much to our delight.

Melt in Your Mouth offers many choices including gluten-free, vegan, dairy-free, egg less, and nut-free desserts. Check out our menu to see the selection of flavors that we offer!

What’s Our Secret?

It could be the quality of our ingredients: pure vanilla extract, the best quality cocoa and chocolate, freshly ground aromatic spices, locally and seasonally sourced fruits. 

It could be the fact that we always start from scratch. There are no box mixes in our kitchen.

It could be our use of real butter.  You won’t find shortening in our pantry.
