The heart behind the bakery

Hi, I am Trina. Baked with Grace is inspired by my children, supported by my husband, and built on love and creativity. What began as a personal hobby turned into a passion for crafting handcrafted cakes and floral cupcakes that help you celebrate the people you love most.

Baking began as a way to find peace during one of the most challenging seasons of my life. After the birth of my son Daniel, I struggled with postpartum anxiety. I turned to God for strength and found unexpected comfort in the simple act of baking.

Family Inspired, Faith Anchored

Through it all, my incredible husband Adam has been my constant support. He is not only my husband but also my trusted partner in business, handling marketing and systems. I lovingly call him my "husbandger."

When my daughter Grace was born, her name became the perfect inspiration for this bakery. She reminds me daily of God’s goodness. From her came the name Baked with Grace, a picture of the love, family, and faith that sit at the center of everything I do.

Crafting sweet moments with Purpose

Buttercream florals are more than decoration. They are a way to tell your story through color, texture, and detail. I draw inspiration from real blooms, your color palette, and the mood of your event to design desserts that feel cohesive with your day.
