Born out of a dream and a leap of faith, Taryn’s Cakery was created. What began as a small venture, offering postal orders for brownies and cookies, quickly blossomed as she expanded her offerings to include celebration cakes, cupcakes and cookies when the world began to reopen. Last year marked a significant turning point for Taryn when she started accepting wedding cake orders, and that’s when her business really took off. With a philosophy that less is more, her cakes reflect a simple yet elegant style, showcasing her belief in the beauty of simplicity while ensuring each creation is as delicious as it is refined. It’s been an incredible journey for Taryn, and she feels immensely grateful to have built a loyal customer base that trusts her to create cakes for their most cherished occasions. Sustainability is a key goal, and Taryn is dedicated to making small but impactful changes in her business practices. She has taken steps like eliminating single-use plastics, sourcing fair trade and organic ingredients whenever possible, and even planting a tree for every wedding cake order. Taryn’s commitment to sustainability reflects her deep respect for the environment while creating delicious treats that bring joy to her customers.
