Our conversation with Andrea Nauta

Military Family Life

About our guest:
Andrea Nauta is a military spouse - her wonderful husband Dustin has been serving in the military since 2007. They have two beautiful girls who are 11 and 9.

Andrea and her family have moved back and forth between Comox and Petawawa, and they are currently happily settled in Comox where Andrea works as a support worker at a local school.

Andrea is an accomplished baker. She started baking when she was 8 with simple cake box mixes and making cupcakes for her family. Her passion grew year by year – and she dedicated herself to learning more through books, YouTube, and cooking shows.

Eventually her love of – and talent for – baking brought her to season 3 of the Great Canadian Baking show

Toady Baking is something Andrea does to relax. She has scaled back on large cake and macaron orders and now bakes for fun.

If you want to see some of Andrea’s fabulous baking creations – including a photo of the fabulous mermaid tail that Andrea made for her Great Canadian Baking show audition - you can follow her on Instagram at @nautabakes
