Meriel Frandsen
Meet the owner and founder of Mmm Dessert
I’m Meriel Frandsen, a Utah Valley-based baker, wife, and mom of four. Baking started as something simple for me—a creative outlet in my home kitchen and a way to do something I loved while caring for my family. I began sharing my creations on social media just for fun, never expecting it to grow into anything more. But as time went on, people connected with my work, my style, and the joy behind what I was creating. What started as a hobby slowly turned into something much bigger.

Fun facts about me!
Go-To Dessert
My favorite dessert to make right now is chocolate diplomat filled choux au craquelin! But my favorite dessert to eat will always be fudgy brownies with vanilla ice cream on top! Yum!
favorite baking song
I love me some Taylor Swift that I can sing along with! My favorite song of hers is Life of a Showgirl. But the occasional Jack Johnson is definitely a favorite as well!
messy or clean baker?
I definitely strive to be a clean baker! A clean kitchen is a happy kitchen. However, I love to let my kids help me in the kitchen and it sometimes gets a little messy! But it’s worth it to spend time with them!

Design Time
I plan out every detail—from colors and style to structure—so everything feels cohesive.
Bake
Everything is baked fresh from scratch with lots of love (and a little kitchen chaos!).
