Hello fellow cake lovers,
​
My name is Tanya. I have a deep love of baking, cooking and decorating. Over the years I spent a lot of time in my mom's kitchen, helping, watching, and learning. I learned so much about baking and presentation by watching and assisting as my mom got ready for Christmas, Easter, and countless other special occasions. Spending so much time in her kitchen made me realize that I love baking so I've spent the last few years learning how to bake and decorate cakes and cookies and create sugar flowers.
In 2012 I decided it was time to take a class to learn more about cake decorating so I went to my local Micheal’s store. There I had a wonderful instructor who encouraged me to sign up for every class available from Wilton's. I began to learn the basic and more advanced decorating techniques. Once I started a family, I continued to practice my skills whenever I had the chance or got a request to make a birthday cake for friends or family members.
​
In the last few months I made the decision to take my skills and share them with my communities. I launched my Facebook and Instagram pages “Tancakes.” These gave me a platform to share my obstacles, successes, and various creations while learning a new skills. These have also allowed me to expand my client base and help to share my love of this art with an ever-growing fan and customer base.
I love to learn and to explore new areas of cooking and baking. If you have ideas of goodies for me to make or to learn please feel free to contact me and let me know.
​
My first bake and craft sale is on April 22nd in Morris Manitoba; I look forward to meeting you there! For more upcoming bake sales check out my calendar.
​
Thanks for stopping by. I look forward to hearing from you and baking for you!

I am excited to start this new adventure with the love, support and patience of my amazing family!
About the Baker
Tancakes creates a homemade, elegant, colourful and delicious selection of freshly baked goods. Some items include cupcakes, cookies, fudge, meringue cookies, cream puffs, fruit pies, tarts, mini cheesecakes and more. I work hard to provide high quality delicious and beautiful creations that are as tasty as they look. Along with baked goods I make gumpaste flowers and other figures that can serve as keepsakes from those special celebrations.
​
Some unique and interesting facts:
- I try to reduce sugar in my recipes.
- I use natural organic vanilla that comes from Mexico or the Dominican Republic.
- I use seasonal fresh fruit when available.
- According to the farmer's market guidelines, I have access to an approved establishment to make and package my "potentially hazardous foods" like cream puffs, cheesecakes, tarts, etc.
-Each of my gumpaste flowers, cakes, cupcakes, and other treats are individually made and unique.
- I have a wonderful husband and a great father-in-law who excel in woodwork and are able to create unique wooden displays that could be available for rent or purchase.
