Owner
Born and raised in Charleston SC, I started The Tenacious Tart on James Island. I was professionally trained while in New Orleans where I obtained my degree in pastry arts. After working at Commander's Palace & The Royal Sonesta on Bourbon Street. I took the head pastry chef position at Apolline on Magazine Street. I moved back James Island, took $300 of my own money, that I earned from selling cakes at a local farmers market and started The Tenacious Tart.
Even though Charleston is my hometown, I play tourist and enjoy our fantastic local cuisine as often as possible.

Highly recommend!! Sharon was amazing to work with. She helped make my design for our wedding cake come to life. The cake was amazing and beautiful! We got the lavender cake- our guests were coming up to us all night saying how great the cake was. Can’t wait to enjoy it again when celebrating our 1 year anniversary

We had the pleasure of working with Sharon from The Tenacious Tart for our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. For our rehearsal dinner, Sharon created a Lemon-Elderflower Raspberry cake for the groom's birthday, which was absolutely delicious. Our wedding cake was a Praline flavor, and it was equally amazing!!
Sharon was incredibly easy to work with and accommodated all of our requests with grace and professionalism. She even managed to incorporate our dog into the wedding cake design, which was a delightful and personal touch. We highly recommend The Tenacious Tart for any special occasion. Thank you, Sharon, for making our celebration even more memorable!

I can’t say enough good things about Sharon and her baked goods. A year later, our guests continue to rave about how beautiful the cake was, matching my flowers, let alone how good the peach cobbler flavor was. She was always punctual in her communication, organized, and even worked with us to use our chicken’s eggs in the cake to make it that much more special.

Sharon was absolutely wonderful to work with during the wedding planning process!! She provided us with a lovely cake tasting box full of so many options; it was hard to choose a flavor for our cake because every single flavor was SO good. On the day of our wedding our cake was absolutely stunning, and tasted even better. I highly recommend working with Sharon for an exceptional and seamless wedding cake experience. We will be using Sharon for all future celebrations 😊

Sharon from the Tenacious Tart was amazing!! We truly didn't know exactly what we wanted our wedding cake to look like and we threw a bunch of inspiration pictures to her. We ended up combining a cake she did previously with a new vision because we wanted to incorporate some bright colored florals that were at our reception. We had a mostly black/white wedding and wanted the cake to stick out and scream bright summer since we got married in July!
She drew a sketch for us of what it would look like and the day we saw the sketch come to life was amazing. She made our vision become a reality. Not only was the design amazing, the flavors were to die for. We had such a hard time at our tasting trying to choose just one flavor.
We had so many of our guests tells us it was THE BEST WEDDING CAKE they ever had. Sharon's work is beautiful and she has such a talent. Thank you for everything Sharon!

Sharon was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding cake! From the very beginning, she was incredibly accommodating, providing tasting boxes that made selecting flavors a delightful experience. Her pecan pie flavor was a standout—rich, delicious, and perfectly suited for my husband, a Georgia native, making it a sentimental favorite. Shannon also went above and beyond by preparing gluten-free cupcakes for our guests with allergies, ensuring everyone could enjoy a sweet treat. The final cake was not only the cake of my dreams but exceeded my expectations in every way, looking even better in person than I had imagined. Thank you, Sharon, for your hard work and dedication to making our day so special!

I very much enjoyed working with Sharon & Tenacious Tart and highly recommend for your wedding cake. When we first started looking at vendors for cakes, we didn't want to break the bank on cake but wanted our own personalized touch. Sharon accomplished that and so much more. She incorporated our dog into the cake (with a little figurine) and worked with us to find the exact taste of the cake we wanted. I feel so fortunate that we found her and were able to work with her on our special day! I highly recommend as her work is not only delicious, but beautiful as well!

This is a long overdue review from our April 2023 wedding!
Sharon was absolutely wonderful to work with and executed our vision flawlessly. We had to quickly find a new cake artist after our venue’s artist retired and we’re so happy we found Sharon since she was the perfect fit.
The detail put into the design of the cake was truly beautiful. We wanted a floral lace-like design and it was piped to perfection. The flavors were so fun and we chose a different flavor for each tier, going with a southern flavor palette.
Overall, I would 100% recommend Sharon for all your cake needs not only because they’re stunning and delicious but because she was such a pleasure to work with throughout the process.
Thank you again for making our wedding day so special! 🤍

Sharon!! The most amazing, talented, and creative baker that we had the pleasure of hiring to create the wedding cake of our dreams. Sharon is a true artist that listens to every little detail, color, and style that you want for your wedding cake. She created a real masterpiece and I cannot imagine not having hired her to be the one to come up with such a beautifully designed wedding cake. She truly went above and beyond what I asked her for and I still think about how beautiful the cake was months later. She really cares about her clients and her business, we love Sharon and highly recommend hiring her to create the cake of your dreams like she did for us!

Our cake from The Tenacious Tart was perfect! Wedding cakes are one of my favorite parts of weddings, so it was important to me to find the right one. First, the cake tasted amazing - the sponge was flavorful and moist and the buttercream icing was perfectly smooth. We got two flavors, strawberry and then almond with blackberry preserves. Secondly, the cake was beautiful! Sharon incorporated our wedding colors perfectly into the design of the cake. She made the whole process very easy as well with her delivery of the cake and use of her cake stands. I highly recommend booking The Tenacious Tart for your wedding cake!

We have been using Tenacious Tart for birthdays, girls weekends, and finally my wedding day! She never disappoints with her amazing selection of flavors and goes above and beyond to be sure you are happy!
When it was time to taste test, she prepared 4 mini cakes, individually wrapped for my future husband and I to taste in our home!
We wanted an personal touch to the side of our cake and she asked me if ordered the golden retriever figurine she would make it happen! It was the cutest and most “tasteful” add on we could have asked for! Hands down the best tasting cake company in Charleston!

As anyone knows who has ever planned a destination wedding, it can be very tedious and stressful planning from afar… But my family had the most amazing experience working with Tenacious Tart. Sharon made everything incredibly easy for us! She carefully took the time to assure that every detail we discussed either by email or phone conversation was taken into consideration when crafting the wedding cake of my dreams. Our friends and family raved about our cake to us even days later! Everything was just as tasty as it was aesthetically pleasing. Sharon truly has a gift because of the love and passion she has for making your dream dessert come to life. I would highly recommend for any special occasion that only will be enhanced by Tenacious Tart!

We are so glad we booked "the Tenacious Tart" for our wedding! Shannon was an absolute delight to work with. From day one, her communication was excellent. She was kind, professional, and patient! We ordered a two tiered wedding cake from her that was a lemon/raspberry/buttercream combo (my request) and it was delicious! We also ordered several of her other "bite size" desserts and had a dessert buffet. Everyone raved about the desserts and not a single one was left at the end of the night! She was also kind enough to let us use some of her personal items such as cake stand, server, and trays for our desserts. I highly recommend booking The Tenacious Tart for your wedding or any other event where you are looking to serve delicious desserts made by a wonderful local baker!

Loved, loved, loved working with Sharon! My daughter had a destination wedding and therefore we were not able to come in and try any of her delicious cakes ahead of time, but I knew I was in good hands after speaking with her on the phone. She knows her profession! My daughter wanted a simple three tier cake with greenery. When I sent her a picture of what we wanted, she informed us that specific greenery could negatively impact the taste of the cake. Instead we chose to go with white flowers. It was beautiful, elegant, and delicious! Thank you Sharon for a fabulous wedding cake! Highly recommend The Tenacious Tart.

When searching for the PERFECT cake for our wedding, I truly didn't care until we found you. I honestly just thought a cake was just a cake. Not So. A wedding cake for us was much more because of the choice, the look, the flavor and oh my gosh, the taste.
There were so many great options for us to chose and we went with the raspberry lemon bourbon and it truly did not disappoint.
The look of the cake was so amazing and as a man with the idea of a cake with bourbon in it, I couldn't wait to get married so I could eat it. I kid... but in all seriousness, "The Tenacious Tart" was the best choice and had the best options for our wedding. Thank you again for making this part of our wedding something we talk about often .

Sharon has been by far the sweetest lady to work with. We had our wedding in October and I got my dates mixed up and told Sharon the wrong date, but she still came through the day of with a beautiful cake. If it wasn’t for her, we wouldn’t have gotten a wedding cake and it was totally my fault. I can’t stress this enough, choose Sharon’s cakes and desserts because they were beautiful and delicious!

I can't say enough about Sharon and The Tenacious Tart. We were a destination wedding, so we had to choose a cake and company without a traditional tasting since we lived two states away. Based on reviews and our interactions we decided to go with Sharon and it was the best decision! Neither my husband or I are 'cake' people. However our family is and we felt like we needed to have one still. She guided us on flavors, sizing, and we provided some inspiration pictures, and she delivered! The cake was stunning, she pulled together multiple elements to make it even more than I dreamed of! The cake was also absolutely delicious! Neither of us cake people ate it all and wished we had more later at the hotel! Our families raved about how good it was and have mentioned it a few times since the wedding. I would use her again and again without hesitation!

Sharon makes some of the most delicious and unique cupcakes/cakes in Charleston! Everyone absolutely loved our wedding cake. Not only did it taste good, but it looked beautiful as well. We highly recommend the almond/pineapple combination and the vanilla/lavender, too - yum! We highly recommend booking the Tenacious Tart for your event.

Sharon was great to work with. We had a lemon cake with raspberry preserves brushed with bourbon simple syrup/vanilla buttercream and also coconut cupcakes with coconut buttercream frosting and they were delicious! We will use Sharon again for any future cake needs!

For our recent wedding we had Sharon design our cake. It was absolutely delicious, and the design was perfect for our October/fall theme. Our guests loved it, and we actually had no leftovers. Sharon is friendly and very easy to work with, and her cakes really are one-of-a-kind. I definitely recommend her for your events!!!

Woohoo! Your "ladies" were so sweet! They seemed like a great group to have at the wedding...
. I love hearing all the cake was gone! Leftover cake makes us sad. Thank you so much!

Sharon is the best at what she does and I'm glad we found her to give us the best wedding cake we could ask for. She's quick to respond and very friendly. We had an idea for the design we wanted for our cake but the decor we had couldn't exactly work for the vision, but Sharon had a plan and it came out just as great. I'd definitely book her again for future cake needs.

Sharon really helped make our reception special. She set the cake up beautifully with fresh flowers. Our venue was an art gallery and multiple guests asked if the cake was real or if it was art because it looked so perfect in the space. It was also the perfect way to end our meal. She does flavor combos that really work. We had the chai with lemon curd, a flavor I wouldn’t normally pick but it is delicious! Would recommend to anyone who wants a special, beautiful one of a kind cake from someone who is so pleasant to deal with!

Sharon is such a sweet person and very easy to work with! My husband and I knew we wanted coconut cake for our wedding and completely let Sharon do the decorating. She asked us to leave some our reception flowers for her to use and we absolutely loved how she styled them :)
The cake was also delicious! It was the perfect amount of sweet and not perfume-y like some coconut cakes can be. We have frozen a couple leftover slices for our anniversary and can't wait to eat it again in a year!

Sharon was incredibly kind and patient during the whole process! We were planning the wedding from several states away and Sharon was very quick to respond and walked me through every step of the process. She was supportive of my choices and last minute changes, and gave her professional recommendations which helped me make a confident and final decision. The cake itself was incredible in its decor and taste. Our guest made several comments about how great it was! I would book Sharon's services everyday of the week and twice on Sunday.
