Tè’Stees Cupcakes

Santa Barbara born-and-raised Shante Norwood started baking as a hobby with her children. With growing popularity and the support of her family, it expanded to fulfilling orders for friends and relatives. Thanks to the California Homemade Food Act, which allows certain home-based production for commercial sale, Shante created Tè’Stees as a full-time business in 2019 and offers her creative cupcakes by pre-order.

She’s always experimenting with new flavors and custom designs for clients, but her most popular flavor is the banana pudding cupcake. While most of her work stays in Lompoc, she’s been known to venture farther out in the county, most notably for a Duke and Duchess who reside in Montecito.
