Taressa Mixon
Hi Friends!!
My name is Taressa and I’m a Wife, Mom, and Lover of all things baked goods! My creativity in the kitchen comes from a place of pure curiosity. There’s nothing like the feeling of combining ingredients, all the different flavors, and having a complete creation come out of the oven. It’s become my passion! My heart is to see others have the same revelation and discover what they’re capable of.

Bread of Life
Q:What does a loaf of bread say to a friend after doing them a favor?
A: It's the yeast I can do.



The Cookie Spot
Q: When should you take a cookie to the doctor?
A: When it feels crumby.

Scone Zone
Q: What did Jesus say to the crowd of bakers?
A: Let he who is without sin cast the first scone.



As a mom of 6 children, who’s nursed every single one, I know how hard and beautiful that season can be. Binkies and blowouts, snacks and sleeps, and endless nights of feedings. I’m here for you through it all!

Welcome to merchville, come see all the things we have created. Everything has been created by my new brand Just Start by Taressa.
