Sweet Relief

For Melissa “Marsh” Megliola ’02, Christmastime as a child meant visiting her grandmother and indulging in her fresh-baked Italian cookies. In 2011, Megliola started selling the holiday delicacies she grew up with, launching Sweet Treats by Melissa from her Denver home. Two years later, she started creating custom sugar cookies in unique shapes and with custom decoration for children’s birthday parties, baby showers and holiday events.   For making the perfect holiday cookie, Megliola likes to change her designs each year. Her favorites from last year were snowflakes, mittens, penguins and snowmen, decorated with her own royal icing recipe. Regardless of the design you choose, Megliola advises bakers: “A perfect holiday cookie should just be made with love.”
