From the Mixing Bowl to the Manuscript 

Welcome to the Tasha Speaks blog!

 

Hey sweet souls,

I’ve always believed that healing doesn’t just happen in therapy rooms or at church altars, it can also rise in the warmth of an oven or drip from the edge of a candy-dipped cake pop. That’s why I finally wrote the book that’s been living in my spirit for years: Cake Pop Confessions: Stirring Up Healing, Hustle, and Hope One Pop at a Time.

This book is part memoir, part manifesto, and part recipe collection—but it’s all heart. It tells the story of how baking, especially cake pops, became more than just a business for me. It became my lifeline. My ministry. My voice.

Cake Pop Confessions is about rising from the ashes of grief, transitioning from a 24-year federal career, and daring to believe that your passion can become your purpose. Each chapter is filled with lessons I’ve learned in the kitchen and in life blended with love, struggle, and faith. And yes, every chapter ends with a fun, symbolic recipe, because healing is better when it’s sprinkled with sweetness.

This isn’t just a book. It’s a testimony. A tribute. A declaration that even the broken pieces of your story can still serve someone else.

If you’ve ever had to rebuild yourself from scratch, wrestled with self-doubt, or needed a sign that it’s okay to start again—this book is for you.

Stay tuned as I bring you along the journey—chapter by chapter, pop by pop.

Let’s bake. Let’s speak. Let’s heal.
