In Goa, no celebration feels complete without something sweet on the table. From birthdays and weddings to festive gatherings, cakes and desserts have become an essential part of how Goans celebrate. Among the names that carry this tradition forward, MEL’S Cakes & Sweets in Porvorim stands out – a family-run brand with three generations of passion, quality, and trust.
The journey began with Elizabeth Sampey, a mother of ten in Bandra, Mumbai, who was known for her exceptional cooking and her art of making sweets. Her traditional recipes, especially marzipan, were loved by everyone around. What started in her kitchen soon became the foundation of a legacy.
Her son, Romel Sampey, would spend long days at work only to come home and help his mother prepare East Indian sweets. Those evenings of shared effort turned into a family tradition, passing down not just recipes but the joy of making people happy through food.
In 1991, Melanie Sampey transformed this tradition into a business by officially founding MEL’S Cakes & Sweets in Vasai, Mumbai. Her iconic Royal Rich Fruit Cake reached more than 30 countries, establishing MEL’S as a name associated with consistency, authenticity, and taste.
The next chapter was carried forward by Melissa Dias, who joined the family business in 2018. Though she began her career as a Teacher Educator, her love for baking was undeniable. Melissa introduced new creations – custom wedding cakes, patterned rolls, couverture brownies, cheesecakes, and signature cupcakes – that quickly became favourites among customers.
In 2024, Melissa expanded the legacy to Goa by starting MEL’S Cakes & Sweets from her home in Porvorim. Here, Goans can experience the best of both worlds: traditional Goan sweets such as marzipan, milk cream, nankaties, tartlets, and guava cheese, alongside modern designer cakes for weddings, birthdays, and corporate events. Every creation is handcrafted with care, combining old-world authenticity with contemporary elegance.
