About Us

About Melinda Cote & Downriver Cakes: Welcome to Downriver Cakes, where every cake and cupcake is made with care, creativity, and a very special purpose. Our 51-year-old owner is currently fighting Stage 4 cancer, but continues to pursue a love of baking and bringing a little sweetness into the lives of others. We specialize in delicious Cherry Chip cakes and cupcakes and custom cake orders, along with sweet treats for birthdays, holidays, celebrations, and those “just because” moments. When you order from Downriver Cakes, you're doing more than purchasing a homemade treat—you’re supporting a local small business and helping someone during the fight of their life. Thank you for your kindness, encouragement, and support.
