Born and raised in North Vancouver, Theresa comes from a family of bakers including her grandfather who worked as a pastry chef back in Bavaria and the Dolomite Mountains. After completing courses in cake decorating, chocolate and sugar craft, she decided to start off on her own and began Cake Tease in the winter of 2009.

Always exploring and developing her creative side, Theresa’s background includes painting, drawing, welding and many other forms of artistic expression which constantly lends itself to creating all kinds of edible art.
