About

Aloha from Maui! My name is Melissa Salvador and I am a native of San Jose, CA.  I moved to Maui in January of 2001 with a suitcase and some money.  No family or friends here, no place setup to live, no job.  I left my corporate job in the Bay Area to spread my wings at 26 years old and try the beach life.  Eventually I landed back in the corporate world here on Maui (same stress, different location).  After losing my dad and then my mom in a short period of time (2019 and 2022, respectively), I took the opportunity to break away from corporate work again and take a stab at my own business.  What started out as grief therapy and a hobby quickly grew into a passion and Sweet Bella Blooms!  I intentionally choose to be in a niche market of JUST FLOWERS and JUST CUPCAKES.  No, I do not do cakes and cookies, and no I do not do cows, dogs, Spider Man or Pokemon.  Just Flowers.  They make me happy and I'm good at it. :)  

I look forward to making my floral cupcakes for you someday soon!

In the middle is a standard size cupcake.  

On the Right is a Sweet Bella Bloom cupcake.  

Not as big as a Jumbo, but bigger than a standard cupcake. 

Even my minis are bigger than a store-bought mini. 

I buy my liners from the UK, and they're just a couple bites more, 

and just a bit more canvas for more beautiful florals! 

This is my beautiful mom, Gail.  I lost her to cancer in 2022, after she just moved here to Maui to be with me and my family. A proud 100% Italian and amazing gardener, I created Sweet Bella Blooms in honor of her.  When I pipe flowers, I think of her, picturing her pointing out and naming all the different flowers at the nurseries when she took me with her as a kid.  

Amor di madre, amore senza limiti: A mother's love has no limits.

I miss her every day.  

I met my husband Keith here on Maui (my future mother-in-law set us up!) and we have a beautiful son, Nainoa. I  have 2 grown bonus daughters that I cherish as my own, Amber and Kylie.  

We have 3 grandbabies, 3 dogs, and 3 classic VW's.  La Vita é Bella!

I work out of my home kitchen in Wailuku, Maui.  

This is where you will pick up your order.
