Andrea K. McCray is a fourth-generation baker, entrepreneur, and steward of a family legacy rooted in hospitality, excellence, and service. Through Andrea K.& Co Atelier, she carries forward a tradition that has brought families and communities together for generations through exceptional baking and heartfelt hospitality.
Inspired by the women who came before her—Mary Gray Bunch, known throughout Crystal River as the original "Cake Lady"; her daughter Helen Bunch, celebrated for her beloved sweet potato pies and baked goods; and Theola Bunch McCray, renowned for her exceptional cooking and baking—Andrea continues a legacy spanning more than a century.
Known for her attention to detail, refined presentation, and commitment to quality, Andrea creates bespoke cakes, desserts, and specialty confections designed to transform ordinary occasions into memorable experiences. Every creation reflects the values passed down through generations: craftsmanship, generosity, hospitality, and excellence.
Beyond baking, Andrea's background in leadership, organizational development, and community stewardship has shaped her approach to service. She believes that great food is more than a recipe—it is an expression of love, celebration, and connection.
Today, Andrea K. Atelier serves clients seeking thoughtfully crafted desserts and elevated experiences for life's most meaningful moments.
From intimate gatherings to grand celebrations, each creation is prepared with care, artistry, and respect for the family legacy that inspires every detail.
"The recipes may evolve, but the mission remains the same: bring people together, serve with excellence, and create lasting memories one celebration at a time."
