about

Hello,

I am Tarri. The Creator and Founder of It's Batter with Love. My childhood memories created a spark in me to evolve in a part of my life that I would not ever have thought would become a passion. Most of my adult life has been finding comfort in the things that remind me of the beautiful parts of growing up. The parts that created a sacred enthusiasm that lead to this moment. I've always wanted to create a space that offers love, respect, comfort, and memories above all. Besides, where would we be without our past? Teacakes are a special way for me to share with my children and husband parts of my childhood while I express my admiration of the things I took for granted growing up. I can share stories and evoke beautiful imagery when I have a teacake. I can spill the tea .Sort of speak. I want to be able to give everyone I can reach the opportunity to experience a little part of something that has been traditional for me. May the batter create moments to buzz about with you and your loved ones. From My Family To Yours! It's Batter With Love <3

The Beginning of a Tradition

As a child my grandparents would take us traveling. We'd load up about 9 to 10 of us in a van and head to what we call Vacation Bible school or Lincoln District back then. My Mammaw would pack plenty of snacks ,home made sandwiches, ice cold sodas, all the things we take for granted when we are children. But There is one distinct memory that never leaves my mind. Every trip we went on my pawpaw would have teacakes made by the church lady accustomed with a side of cheese log. Anytime we would get to a place that Pawpaw no longer recognized he would pop open his zip-locked bag of teacakes and the car would linger with the smell.He’d be crunching and they’d be getting devoured unconsciously after some time.This is how we knew we were no longer in Texas . We had made it to another state.

Years later during my pregnancy with my Third child . After the passing of both of my grandparents. I craved tea cakes during that pregnancy. Now the tea cake recipe is a hard one to get your hands on in the black community. I was blessed to have a family member pass me theirs. I began to make my own teacakes in 2011. I’d be asked by family to make them some often. I’d even ship them to family and one of my closest friends and her family.Around 2020 I began experimenting with different flavors of teacakes. Taking a classic , comfort cookie and memory of mines and adding flavors that I’d dream about.

My children, husband, family and friends have been able to witness the evolution of the teacake. These are not just a fun experiment for me. This is the birth of a dream .A way for me to share my love and memories and create new ones for others. I hope to bring communities together and awareness to the importance of creating memories that form traditions.

To all the entrepreneurs.No matter what age. I encourage you to reach for your dreams. There will be lessons learned and plenty of opportunities. Sometimes you just have to create them.

Dream Big!

In Loving Memory of

Mammaw & Pawpaw
