About La Meli

About Us

La Meli began humbly in a grandmother’s kitchen, baking biscotti that quickly became a local favourite. What started as a small passion project soon blossomed into a boutique cakery, known for its dedication to craft, flavour, and beauty.
Today, La Meli creates exquisite custom cakes, artisanal cookies, and irresistible sweet treats for every occasion. From elegant wedding centrepieces to nostalgic biscuits that remind you of home, each bake is made with care, precision, and a touch of nostalgia.
Rooted in Johannesburg since 2010, La Meli continues to blend tradition with creativity, proving that the simplest ingredients, when made with love, can create something truly extraordinary.
