Our Story
Blu’s passion for baking began generations ago with a young Teri and her Mamaw Newton. Checkerboard cakes and homemade pies lined the kitchen table every Sunday. Captivated by her grandmother’s baking skills, Teri learned the art of beautiful desserts. Throughout the years, Teri passed this knowledge down to her daughter, Kristen. After making desserts for family and friends, they realized that helping people celebrate brought them joy and peace. In 2019, Blu Bakery was born as a registered home-based bakery. Blu came from the color blue to symbolize the sky on a cloudless day and the gentle waves of a calm ocean. After having walk-in service for 3 years, Teri and Kristen fell in love with making wedding cakes and have shifted Blu’s business model to exclusively creating beautiful wedding cakes as unique as the couple they are crafted for.
The Dynamic Duo
Teri
Co-Owner, lead decorator, and mother in the mother-daughter duo, Teri has always had a love of baking. She had a dream to one day open a bakery and spread happiness with every cake. Whether it’s piping vintage lines or placing unique fresh flowers on a cake, she is the decorator of our beautiful wedding cakes. She loves to share her passion of decorating with our community by leading our decorating classes. When she isn’t decorating, she loves to spend time with her family, especially her grandson. She enjoys reading and watching baking shows.
Kristen
Co-owner, lead baker, and “the daughter”, Kristen fell in love with baking at a very early age. She grew up following Teri around the kitchen, always helping and learning from her. Kristen bakes the cakes, manages daily operations and social media, as well as assisting our clients with creating and scheduling orders. . Kristen is an avid reader, and when she isn’t at the baking, she is typically outside obsessing over the wildlife or watching Schitt’s Creek. She also enjoys hanging out with her friends and loves to listen to music.
