I'm a Nashville, TN native + the "Woman behind the Whisk." I fell in love with food at a young age, often watching Food Network after school + wanting to help out in the kitchen however I could. Although I’m a self-proclaimed foodie, I really love the alchemy, culture, nurturing + creativity of food. You can learn so much about people by knowing the who, what, when, where, why + how behind what they eat.
I also love reading, writing, tea time + spending time with my husband, Doug, + our daughter, Naomi Grace. I am a learner by nature. I enjoy learning all sorts of random facts so if you need someone for trivia night...I'm your girl!
I love love + that shows up in my life in several different ways. I find joy in building people up (especially women) + motivating them to live a life they love. I’m a sucker for using a free moment to practice self-care + supporting others reach their goals.
Favorite Dessert: Gelato - one scoop of coffee + one scoop of stracciatella, please!
Hi Love, I’m Trista.
Ora Teahouse + Bakery
In 2011, Trista Sanford started Yin Yang Cupcake Bar in her hometown of Nashville, TN. Although she saw much success with YYCB, she sought a fresh look and feel for the business when she + her husband, a Durham native, moved to North Carolina. Bespoke Bakery & Dessert Bar was born.
Since opening Bespoke in 2017, Trista has grown as a wife, mother, business owner + person. Living life intentionally is important to her so when the business felt like it wasn’t representing who she is today, it was important to pivot to ensure heart-centered alignment. 2020, with all of its twists + turns, presented the perfect opportunity. Trista took time during quarantine to research a passion she’s had for many years…tea. She began blending with her understanding of how to build flavors leading the way. What she created were blends that weren’t just delicious but beautiful.
Ora Teahouse + Bakery still offers the desserts you love with the addition of tea blends that are sure to elevate tea time. Blended with your well-being in mind + baked with life’s most precious celebrations at heart, we invite you to
Find Your Ora.
