Melissa, owner and baker at Red Clay Bakery

About me

Hi, I’m Melissa, and I started Red Clay Bakery in Fayetteville.

I started baking full-time after being laid off from a corporate job. I know what it’s like on the other side of the office: the long meetings, the big wins nobody stops to celebrate, the people who quietly hold everything together. A box of good cookies won’t fix all of that, but it’s a pretty great way to say “we see you.”

Fresh-made, from scratch.

Everything we make is fresh-made and baked from scratch. Our signature cookies start with real browned butter, and our printed sugar cookies are hand-baked, never store-bought. Our goal is simple: to serve our community one treat at a time.

You work directly with your baker.

When you order from Red Clay, you’re working directly with the person who bakes your treats. We take pride in getting the details right, from the flavor to the printing to the packaging, so you can count on every order showing up looking and tasting the way it should.
