The Story Of
RookaBakes
Once upon a time, I was a young girl named Tara, and nicknamed TaraRooka by my brother, and I loved helping my mom bake delicious treats in the kitchen.
My whole family loved spending time in the
kitchen together creating wonderful memories and making lots of special days, even more magical with delicious food!
I later attended the Art Institute of Santa Ana, where I earned my Associates degree in Baking and Pastry Art, and my Bachelors degree in Hospitality Management. I have continued to work in the industry for 12 years…

Her creations are nothing short of spectacular, with each bite thoughtfully crafted to deliver an explosion of flavors that are both sophisticated and indulgent. Tara’s attention to detail and her passion for elevating the dining experience shine through in every dish. Whether it’s a delicate pastry or a savory canapé, her bougie bites are a testament to her exceptional talent and creativity. She has become my go-to caterer for all events, and I can’t imagine hosting a gathering without her incredible culinary touch.”

Tara’s desserts were not only beautiful works of art, but they were delicious too! I may or may not have cried when I saw how beautiful they were when they arrived. They were definitely the biggest culinary hit at our daughter’s wedding reception. I just wish I had ordered more because her desserts were the first thing we ran out of.
