Seattle-based designer and baker Melissa Broyles handcrafted cutters are fast becoming quite the rage and to think that baking wasnt even her first choice for a career!
For Melissa Broyles even though baking wasn’t the first choice for a career, it has always been a significant part of her lifestyle. Home Review tries to explore the world of this Seattle-based designer-baker and her singular venture, aptly titled Sugarbombe.
Three years ago, Melissa’s personal life ran into a rough patch with the passing of her father as well as the ending of almost a 15-year-old relationship. “I decided to take some time for myself,” she recalls. It was during this strenuous time that she ‘reconnected’ with her passion and love for design and baking. In a short span, she began to bake on a daily basis.
“Baking inspired me creatively,” Melissa goes on. During one of her shopping sprees for baking supplies, she noticed that the market did not have a particularly great selection of cookie cutters. By now, we can almost hear the gears of creativity shifting and immediately Melissa took matters into her hands. “I started designing cutters on paper and in no time, had a large stack of drawings,” she adds.
The next logical step was to look for a 3D printer, which is exactly what she did with some help from a friend. The printer agreed to ‘build and print models’ for her. Working odd jobs in order to support herself and her creativity, she began to have a lot more of these self-designed cutters printed as demo samples.
