Boise Custom Cakes - About
Hi! I'm Melanie (& Fred)













Well hello there!
I am Melanie Kreller, the proud owner of 'Boise Custom Cakes'
​
I was raised on a dairy farm in Meridian, Idaho then moved around a lot! I'm so happy to be back in the Treasure Valley.
​
I've started and ran a successful Wedding Cake business in Napa, California when I lived there. I'm so happy to be doing what I love again!
I have 7 awesome kids and four grandkids!
​
My interests are a lot of homemaking - like sewing, canning, baking (no surprise there!) interior designing, home improvement, reading- well audiobooks while I'm crafting something else. I also love, love camping! I could live at a campsite all summer. I love hiking, ATVs, paddle boarding, fishing and boating. I love being in the water. I don't care if it's cold - I'm usually the first one in the water!

Hello!
I am Fred Kreller, husband to the amazing Melanie! I grew up in Boise and have lived in Idaho for my whole life except for a 9 year stint in Arizona. I am so glad to be back home!
I help out with the office items such as sending emails so Melanie can focus on designing and making amazing cakes. On occasion, she allows me to make batches of buttercream. :-)
I work for Arizona State University (remote) as a cybersecurity engineer, and part time as a beekeeper here in Nampa! I like to go fishing, camping, hunting, hiking or spending time at the range.

​Hi!
I’m Allison! I’m a busy mom with two young children and an intense love for baking! I met Mel by random chance when we were both standing in line and she complimented me on my jacket. When she told me about her cake business, I blurted out that I loved to bake. Her husband Fred mentioned they needed some help. The next day I paced back and forth, not daring to hope they’d actually hire me. But they did! And it awakened a deeper passion for baking that drove me to start my own business, making stuffed cookies and whoopie pies! Follow me on Instagram @stufd.with.love! I credit Mel for opening my eyes to how incredible the art of baking can really be, and it’s amazing to do this alongside her.
"(she) took our meager suggestions and turned them into a magnificent and delicious piece of art! Our cake was memorable centerpiece in the room, and Boise Custom Cakes was a joy to work with, I would recommend them to anyone."
