Meet Tonya – The Heart Behind A Matter of Cake
Hi, I’m Tonya — the heart, hands, and creativity behind A Matter of Cake. As a self-taught, home-based cake artist, I’ve turned a lifelong passion for baking into a business rooted in love, tradition, and unforgettable flavor. Whether it’s a rich, from-scratch pound cake or a showstopping three-tier custom design, every cake I create is made with care, creativity, and (of course) plenty of butter.
My joy comes from seeing the smiles that a beautiful cake can bring — the kind that make people pause before cutting into what looks like a work of art. I stay inspired and up-to-date by immersing myself in the industry through ongoing training, research, and professional cake design seminars. My goal is simple: to exceed your expectations and make your celebration even sweeter.
My love for baking started at the age of 11, shaped by the warmth and wisdom of the women who came before me — my grandmothers Lillian and Avonia, and my great-grandmother Mary, who baked masterfully using a wood stove. They taught me that great baking isn’t just about ingredients — it’s about heart, intention, and a deep respect for the craft.
It’s an honor to turn your special moments into edible memories. I can’t wait to design something beautiful (and delicious) for you and your loved ones.
