Here is some professional background information about myself,  I graduated Westmoreland Community College in May of 2013 with my associates degree in baking and pastries, but my love for cakes started three years prior. I have worked at some very well known bakeries around pittsburgh, and they have all taught me many things I need to know about the business. It has been nine years since I started making my own cakes and I couldn't be happier! My pink kitchen aid mixer is still going strong- thankful for her.

When I am not covered in sugar and flour, you’ll find me at home with my husband Kevin, and our three English bulldogs- Oscar , Winston, and Gump. Yes I have to clean my floors about twice a week from all their drool, and yes it is totally worth it.  I try and match everything about my life to the color of my hair- lavender. I am sick of eating cake, but I eat sweets every. single. day. I prefer dark chocolate, the darker the better. White chocolate isn’t chocolate, I’m sorry. I’ve recently become addicted to coffee since owning a business, and it’s bad. My favorite animal is an Ostrich (besides a bulldog) but since Llamas are so trendy right now I have lowered my standards.

Tessa is what we like to call our “star baker'“ although she didn’t have a ton of background on baking at first, she is in full swing these days! Tessa can have 8 things in the oven, 4 mixers running, and will have timers for every single one to make sure they are never burnt or over mixed. She takes great pride in her work, and we are so thankful she is such a staple on our team!

FUN FACT: We couldn’t figure out at first why Tessa couldn’t scoop a cupcake, turns out being left handed is a handicap indeed (as she would say).

Tessa’s favorite dessert to bake is a chocolate chip cookie, and her least favorite item to bake is a macaron- LOL who can blame her though? They're complicated AF.
