I am Tia Walters, the proud owner and cake artist behind Top Tier by Tia, with 14 years of experience in creating exquisite custom cakes. My commitment to excellence has been honed primarily through hands-on practice and experimentation, supported by a few specialized classes. I am also ServSafe certified, ensuring that I maintain the highest standards of food safety and quality.

As a dedicated wife and mother of three, I never envisioned myself as a cake artist, as I was the non-baker in my family. My academic journey led me to earn three degrees, none of which were in culinary arts. However, a delightful turn of events introduced me to the world of cake artistry while preparing for my son's birthdays. This unexpected passion ignited a joy that transformed my life, allowing me to bring smiles and create memorable experiences for others through my delicious creations. For me, the happiness my cakes bring to people and their celebrations is truly the icing on the cake.
