Hello and welcome to my bakery! My name is Casey and I am Thelma Jean's granddaughter🥰. I started my bakery in 2021 because I wanted to find a way to help animals in need by donating much needed financial support 💸 and educating the public about local rescues 🐴🐢🐷🐕🐱. I also needed an outlet for my passion for baking. When I was thinking of a name that would represent how people should feel when they have my baked goods but also the mission of the bakery, I could only think of one name, Thelma Jean. My grandma lived is the embodiment of loving others, whether they have 2 legs, 4 legs, or no legs. She not only talked the talk; she walked the walk in treating other the way you would want to be treated. She also loved baking; I would say it was her love language. So it is an honor to have my bakery named after her and often be called Thelma Jean🫶. 

I have been a vegan for about 5 years and it all started because of a pig named Taco. I got him as a graduation present; he was only 4 lbs! Taco showed me how intelligent, emotional, and how we are not so different in the things we seek in life. Taco was supposed to stay under 50 lbs...he is currently around 150 lbs. Around 100 lbs., we realized he was not stopping soon and may be he would be better outside or on a farm. I started doing research about rescues and soon found out I was not the only one duped in to believing in micro/mini pigs. Sadly, with pig rescues overwhelmed and unable to take in anymore, people turned to having their once loved pet pig be euthanized or worse, sold on craigslist for meat. The more I learned about not only the horrible treatment of mini pigs, but also farm pigs, I realized I didn't want to be the reason for their pain and I stopped eating meat. This is a personal choice that I don't push on anyone. 

Since the beginning of the bakery my mission has been to bake to support local rescues and their mission. In 2022-23, TJB was able to donate $920; in 2023-24, we are already over $1000 in donations. I have had the amazing opportunity to work with the following rescues. Please visit their page, learn about them, like their page, follow their page, and donate to their mission.
