A small cottage company born out of my love of baking and honoring the delicious family tradition of homemade baked good.
The Cat and Tam Baking Company was born out of my love of baking and the recipes that my grandmother and my mother shared with me. It's named for my Granny (Catherine aka Cat) and me (Tamra aka Tam).
My Granny was my inspiration for starting this company. She raised six girls and one boy while my grandfather was serving in the US Army. She catered food and her desserts to the people in her community. She ran a daycare and thus helped raise an innumerable number of children. She took care of all of us grandchildren during the summer. She still cooks Thanksgiving dinner mostly by herself. She looks after great-grandchildren, and my dear Granny loves a cross country road trip. In short, she is a devoted and excellent wife, matriarch, entrepreneur and a spitfire! And it is in her honor that I carry on the tradition of delicious homemade treats made with physical ingredients and a whole lot of love.
A little about me: I'm a neuroscientist turned special education paraprofessional turned 20-something who doesn't know what to do next. My Granny has always told me to do what I love and I love cooking and baking. If you ask my old roommate, my parents, my best friend, people who came to game nights at my place and even lab mates they will tell you I love to bring baked goods and they are very tasty.
I really hope you will find out for yourself and place an order. And if you enjoy, as I'm sure you will, please leave a review and share it with your friends and family. I'd love to hear what you have to say.
As a cottage food producer in the state of Minnesota it's important that I let you know that these products are homemade and not subject to state inspection.
