About Tina Ahern:

Tina currently serves up delicious homemade baked goods and handcrafted espresso drinks at 611 Bakehouse, where she and her husband, Brian, planted their ministry in 2009 in Perry, Oklahoma.

She was born and raised in Stillwater, Oklahoma where she completed her education with a bachelor of science degree in elementary education from Oklahoma State University. After teaching for several years, she decided to stay at home to raise their three children, and ended up homeschooling for 12 years.

Tina has put her passion for food and cooking into recipes she makes at the Bakehouse, and in 2016 she began teaching healthy eating and plant-based cooking classes for the community. These classes continued up until the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Currently she posts cooking videos on a YouTube channel she and her husband, Brian began in 2021 because she just can’t help sharing all the goodness with anyone who’s willing to listen.
