Professional Caregiver of Children
Owner/Head Baker of Sweetly Tess | Entrepreneur
Meet Tess, the sweet force behind Sweetly Tess, a baking venture that’s capturing hearts in Bedford, Nova Scotia. Tess's story isn't just about flour and sugar; it's about passion, resilience, and a deep-rooted love for her community. Her baking journey began in her early years, baking alongside her family, but what started as a fun hobby quickly turned into a full-blown passion. Baking for Tess is more than just making treats—it's her love language, a way to share joy, comfort, and creativity with everyone around her. Sweetly Tess isn’t your typical bakery. With no storefront to call home, Tess runs her baking business right from her kitchen, crafting mouthwatering cookies and brownies that leave her customers craving more. Each sweet creation is made with love, from seasonal flavors like strawberry shortcake to maple carrot cake and lemon dream. When customers unwrap a box from Sweetly Tess, they know they’re in for something special—something handcrafted with care and a sprinkle of magic.
But Tess’s life isn’t just about sweets. She’s a full-time in-home childcare provider, balancing her time between her love for baking and her dedication to the little ones she cares for. Juggling these roles isn’t easy, but Tess’s journey has taught her the importance of self-care, resilience, and finding balance, especially as she manages an autoimmune disease. Her focus on health and wellness has shaped not only her personal life but also the way she approaches her business.
Sweetly Tess was born from a dream Tess had since she was 18 years old. After exploring various career paths, she finally returned to her true love: baking. This past year has been nothing short of a whirlwind, filled with exciting opportunities and new connections that have fueled her growth. With 2024 on the horizon, Tess is ready to make her business even sweeter, with new flavors, gluten-free options, and collaborations with local businesses that will bring even more joy to her customers.
Tess’s love for her neighborhood shines through everything she does. She’s a foodie at heart, always on the hunt for the best eats and coffee spots in Bedford. Whether she’s enjoying a meal at Harvest Clean Eats or grabbing a pick-me-up from No.7 Coffee House, Tess is all about supporting local.
She’s built strong relationships with other small businesses and loves recommending her favorite spots, like Circle & Wick for candles and NovaBlush Creations for custom apparel. Tess’s entrepreneurial spirit drives her to constantly innovate, ensuring Sweetly Tess remains a beloved part of her community.
With a heart full of love for baking and a passion for community, Tess is on a mission to make the world a little sweeter, one cookie at a time.
