When you bite into a soft cookie, indulge in a slice of cake, or enjoy a scoop of ice cream from Melvados, it’s easy to think of it as just another treat. But behind every product is a team of dedicated bakers and creators who work tirelessly to ensure that each bite delivers the same comfort and joy as a homemade dessert.
In this blog, we’ll take you behind the scenes into a day in the life of a Melvados baker, giving you a peek into the passion, skill, and creativity that goes into bringing our cookies, bundles, vegan options, ice creams, cakes, and meals to life.
Early Mornings: Starting the Day with Preparation
For a Melvados baker, the day begins before sunrise. By the time most of Singapore is still waking up, our bakers are already in the kitchen, prepping ingredients. From measuring flour and sugar for cookies to whisking eggs for cakes, preparation is key.
The aroma of freshly ground coffee beans, melted chocolate, and baked bread fills the kitchen as the team sets the stage for the day’s work. At Melvados, every ingredient is chosen carefully—ensuring the cookies are buttery, the cakes moist, and the ice creams creamy.
Crafting Cookies: A Signature Melvados Treat
One of the highlights of any Melvados day is baking cookies. Our bakers believe cookies should be both comforting and indulgent, which is why they focus on creating small-batch, artisanal cookies with consistent quality.
From classic double chocolate chip cookies to more unique flavors, the process involves mixing dough to the perfect consistency, portioning each piece with care, and baking them until golden brown. For our bakers, the joy comes when trays of cookies come out of the oven—crispy on the edges, chewy in the middle, and filled with flavor.
Cakes: The Heart of Every Celebration
Cakes are more than just desserts; they’re a centerpiece for birthdays, anniversaries, and festive gatherings. At Melvados, our bakers spend hours perfecting each layer, from the sponge to the frosting.
Whether it’s a round cake set for family gatherings or a tray cake that’s part of our promotions, precision is everything. Bakers test textures, balance flavors, and decorate cakes beautifully ensuring they’re not only delicious but also visually appealing.
Behind the scenes, you’ll see bakers taste-testing slices and adjusting recipes when needed. It’s this attention to detail that makes Melvados cakes such a popular choice for any occasion.
Vegan Sorbets: Innovation Meets Tradition
As more Singaporeans embrace healthier lifestyles, Melvados bakers have risen to the challenge with vegan sorbets. Unlike traditional dairy-based desserts, these are crafted with fresh fruits and natural flavors.
Creating the perfect sorbet takes patience—blending mangoes, lychees, or yuzu to a silky-smooth texture and freezing them just right to lock in flavor. Our bakers are proud to create options that are refreshing, guilt-free, and available in bundles like 6 tubs for $60, making them ideal for sharing.
Lunchtime: Balancing Savory and Sweet
A Melvados baker’s job doesn’t stop at desserts. Our team also prepares meals and savory bakes, from artisan breads to pies and pizzas. The challenge lies in balancing sweet and savory demands within the same day.
One baker might be kneading dough for walnut shallot bread while another is putting finishing touches on a cheesecake platter. This variety is what keeps the team energized—every day is different, every product equally important.
Afternoon Rush: Packaging and Bundles
By midday, it’s time to prepare bundles and gift sets, a signature part of the Melvados experience. From the Festive Set to the Jalan Jalan Box, these bundles are carefully packed by hand. Bakers and packers work together to ensure every set looks as good as it tastes—perfect for gifting or sharing.
Customers often say our bundles make life easier when it comes to celebrations, and that’s because our team works behind the scenes to design products that are thoughtful, affordable, and indulgent.
Evening: Wrapping Up with Pride
As the day winds down, the Melvados kitchen is cleaned, equipment is reset, and orders are reviewed for the next day. For our bakers, the sense of satisfaction comes not just from the treats they’ve created but from knowing these will become part of someone’s celebration, comfort food, or mid-day snack.
Behind every cookie, cake, or scoop of ice cream is a baker who poured their heart into making it. That’s why Melvados products feel like home in every bite.
