Bria’s dream comes true

By Joan Janzen

KERROBERT - Bria Tuchscherer’s dream has come true! She officially opened the doors to her cafe and bakery in the Medical Arts Building at Saskatoon on January 6th, 2025. However her hometown patrons in Kerrobert and area have been enjoying Bria’s Treats long before she opened her bakery.

“Baking has been my passion since childhood, where I first learned the magic of creating delicious treats alongside my mom and grandma. In 2015, I took the plunge and bought my first pink Kitchen Aid mixer,” she posted on her Facebook page.

I interviewed Bria back in 2020 at which time she said she started selling her baking in 2016 at the age of 14. Not only was she participating in sports and achieving academically, but she was operating her own part-time business venture. “I started a Facebook page and that’s how I built my whole business,” she said at that time.

It wasn’t uncommon to find Bria baking in her mom’s kitchen in Kerrobert from 8:00 in the morning until midnight. Since the very beginning her baking creations have consistently been flavourful works of art.

The young entrepreneur spent her high school years selling baking at local markets, holding baking classes and decorating parties for kids, conducting give-aways, making how-to videos, selling wholesale at the Vintage Market, and filling customer orders with amazingly creative baking.

She always said she was going to open her own bakery some day. After graduating from high school in 2020 she continued to hone her skills at SAIT in Calgary, studying Baking and Pastry Arts. She graduated in 2022. “I not only learned a ton but also made lifelong friends,” she posted online.

In August of 2024 Bria began working and renovating on her own space in Saskatoon. “It’s been a lot of work, and yes, a little tiredness along the way, but hey, who needs sleep?” Bria posted. She is no stranger to hard work, but admits every moment was worth it. “It’s been a labor of love, and I’m so proud of how it’s come together.”

Bria’s dream has come true, and she’s excited to share it with all her hometown customers, friends and family.
