Welcome! I am Jess, the brain and baking hands behind Tanker 23 Baking Co.
Where did Tanker 23 come from?
I grew up in a firehouse, basically from birth to the age of 10. Spent a lot of time there, held 90% of my birthdays there 😂 I was oddly attached to the new (in 1999) Tanker truck and for as long as I can remember I have used T23 in some form or fashion online.
Baking started out as a hobby for me about 10 years ago, something to do for birthdays and family members. It eventually turned into a passion. Now, working in mental health, baking is my peacefully stress relief. This page will be mostly geared towards breads, jams and desserts, but some point, I'll share some of my favorite cakes I have created in the past.
Outside of the office and the kitchen, I've been a volunteer firefighter for 5 years. I decided it was time to combine my passions and spread some joy through baking. Once I get to the point that I have sales coming through, I fully intend to put some of that back into the fire service.
I'll start posting content soon, I have a few bakes planned for this weekend. Welcome to Tanker 23 and have a happy Easter!!
