By Halal Trip | 07, Sep, 2017

Sherramelts is an online wedding cake company in Singapore that is spearheaded by the young and talented Ms. Sherry Nasir. It is one of the best baking companies in Singapore that allows you to order cakes online. The name “Sherramelts” was formed by merging the words “Sherry” and “Caramel” together, and it signifies “to be melted away, internally, by your favorite things”.

At Sherramelts, a cake isn't just a cake, it's a work of art that is personally designed by Sherry herself, and every cake has its own story to tell. But that's not all, not only do all of Sherramelts' cakes look impressive, they also taste amazing with the sensational flavor combination of cakes, curds, creams, and more!

Meet Ms. Sherry Nasir

Sherry is a force to be reckoned with. At only 23, she has been through a lot; and not only has she managed to recover but start her own flourishing business as well!

When Sherry was 16 years old, she was diagnosed with scoliosis, which is a condition that causes the spine to curve and twist to one side. Although it doesn't affect the day-to-day lives of most people who have it, Sherry's condition was a lot more severe. It required her to go through an operation that lasted 10 hours where the surgeon fused her spine with titanium rods and screws. If that wasn’t enough hardship, this was the same year that her dear father passed away.

Even today, although she has recovered well, her condition still limits her mobility. Her spine remains slightly rigid, and it keeps her from doing things like carrying heavy objects, turn her head for too long or bend her spine. Despite all of this, Sherry has persevered, and that's something that's incredibly admirable!

 

How Did It All Begin?

Sherry's ambition prior to her scoliosis surgery was to become a dentist, but her condition prevented her from pursuing her dreams. She had to discontinue her dental studies at a local Polytechnic, which led her to take up a baking course at a local baking school.

Following her short baking course, Sherry used the skills she picked up at baking school, along with her own creativity to experiment with new and exciting flavors and recipes; and began making cakes and desserts for her family and friends. She is very much a self-taught baker and cake decorator, and it is her own talent and hard work that has led her to be as successful as she is today.

 

Sherramelts: Wedding Cake Art

Although Sherramelts started as a fun hobby, it grew exponentially later on. Sherramelts began as a baking company in Singapore selling desserts and cakes online, but Sherry didn't know much about branding, structuring or running a business. So, she joined a local bakery, which forced her to shut her business down due to conflict of interest.

Even though it was a tough choice at the time, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise as it was where Sherry ended up picking up the know-how needed to run a business. Working here also allowed her to get more insight into the business of baking cakes, and motivated her to build something that was different and something that stood out from the rest. This is how she came up with the unique concept of creating one-of-a-kind abstract wedding cakes.

 

What Makes Sherramelts Special?

Sherramelts is not just another company selling cakes online. From the inspiring story of its owner to the incredible cakes they make, everything has shaped it into what it is today. Their goal is that no two wedding cakes should be the same, so you can be sure that they are made exclusively for each wedding.

Sherramelts isn't interested in giving you a boring white wedding cake. The abstract design of their cakes are stunningly gorgeous, and the taste leaves you wanting for more. Each flavor and design are carefully crafted to tell a story. And the flavors they develop are nothing short of amazing, like the “Pandan Gula Melaka” which takes inspiration from the traditional kueh. Every cake is made from scratch using only the finest quality ingredients, like French butter and Belgium chocolate.

Sherry's personal favorite is the “Roasted Maple Berry” cake, which she says reminds her of pancakes smothered in maple syrup and berry jam. Apart from being her favorite, it is also one of the most requested flavour among her clients. The most wicked flavor she's come up with is the lychee sponge cake, with passion fruit curd and ginger infused white chocolate buttercream. If that doesn't sound like it would be so lip-smackingly delicious, I don't know what does!

 

What Keeps Her Going

There's no doubt that Sherry has been through a lot in 23 years than most people of the same age, but she hasn't let that stop her from doing what she loves. Although she is a one-man machine operating a business in a tough industry by herself, she cherishes the guidance, help, and advice she gets from her fiance and his cousin.

The ultimate driving force behind Sherramelts is to create something memorable that the couple can hold dear forever. The one-of-a-kind designs of the cakes ensure that it is something that is special to that particular couple alone and that it tells their own special story. The abstract design techniques used to aim to capture a little bit of the newlyweds, so that the wedding guests can try and understand their journey together.

The gorgeous pictures of the stunning cakes and jubilant couples on Sherramelts' Instagram page are a testament to the hard work put in by Sherry.
