(By\u00a0Jane Kwiatkowski<\/a>\u00a0| News Staff Reporter)\u00a0Melanie Krygier-Lamastra makes her mark in the thousands of cakes she has baked and decorated since opening Melanie\u2019s Sweets Unlimited in the Broadway Market in October 1978. Over the years her business added locations including a bake shop on Harlem Road and another in Theater Place, where she served up confections for 25 years.<\/p>\n

Krygier-Lamastra is a pioneer among businesswomen, raising five children and following a trade she learned from her mother and father, who owned Walden Quality Bakery.<\/p>\n

Her decorated cakes have been called works of art by customers. Some are currently on display at the Castellani Art Museum, 5795 Lewiston Road on the campus of Niagara University. The exhibit, \u201c(Almost) Too Good to Eat: Marking Life Transitions With Food,\u201d runs through Dec. 8.<\/p>\n
