A11 West Alabama
Andi Tuberville made a
birthday cake for one of her
four children. That was eight
years ago. .
From that experience came
skill.‘ ‘c‘oupred'w‘ih‘ more Bak-
ing and more experimenting
with recipes, last year that
turned into ambition.
Last June, she opened The
Canebakery.
Inside the building on West
Jackson street, across the canal
and around the sharp curve, the
aroma is deliciously fresh
baked goods from croissants to
cookies to cakes to stuff that is
unusual.
Decorating that birthday
cake eight years ago led her
into baking some other good-
ies, different recipes for differ-
ent cookies, pastries, cakes,
and anything bake-able.
Having the knowledge of
baking and the curiosity of try-
ing new recipes, has led the
lady of multi-talents to a thriv—
ing business that people drive
to patronize.
The lady does sing, she acts
with the Canebrake Players,
she sews, she creates, she
paints, she used to run. Now all
that is secondary to softball,
baseball, home, and cooking.
Whispered and perhaps
meant to not be heard, “I’ve
gained 15 pounds since I
opened the bakery.”
Her husband Shane
Tuberville has not complained,
though.
They have four children:
Ben 11, Bryant 9, Lily 7, and
Sidda 6. The family are mem-
bers of the Demopolis United
Methodist Church.
Andi grew up attending the
Demopolis Baptist Church.

They moved into a new
home a couple of weeks ago
and Andi, the artist but not a
house painter, painted the front
door but it didn’t suit her, so
she repainted it again. It took
four coats for each color
change.
The dynamic lady recently
performed as Shelby in Steel
Magnolias.
In the story, Shelby dies of
diabetic complications, so
Andi was retired to backstage
for the remainder of the play.
“I looked out at the audi-
ence and everybody was cry-
ing.”
Her brown eyes glistened as
she talked about the funny
story that had the tragic ending
for her role.
But she has performed many
times. Andi got her first role
when she was a senior in high
school and auditioned for Bye-
Bye Birdie.
She loves the theater so
dearly that her boys, she said,
want to become members of
the Canebrake Players.
As she sits and talks, her
bakery staff remains attentive
to customers and business.
Bobby Jackson makes cook-
ies.
Clesanah Barlow cooks.
Courtnie Beverly sells,
Cooper Boggs comes in
every afternoon after school
and washes dishes and takes
out the garbage.
The staff serves the cus-
tomers professionally even
when Andi is off taking her
children to baseball or softball
games.
Her hobbies are simple: any-
thing children related.
“I used to do a lot of things
Andi and Shane just moved into this home
— singing, art, creating, run-
ning . . . now I only have time
to cook.”
Andi says she is definitely a
morning person, but in the
Spring and in the Fall, she
loves to sit outside in the
evenings.
Her outlook on life is to
expand her business and to
enjoy her family.
