Thistle and Honey Baking

e them all GLUTEN FREE as we have many celiac members of our family who do not usually get to partake in dessert spreads. The reviews were raving and our celiac friends and family were overjoyed that they could be included. We ordered the Vermont Maple cake, oatmeal maple cream pies, chocolate mini pies, salted caramel tartlets, earl gray macarons and maple macarons. Everything was beautifully presented and delicious to eat, and my husband and I have made a pledge to reorder the same spread of desserts (in a smaller quantity- maybe) for every anniversary that we can. Definitely hire Thistle and Honey, you won't regret it!!

t was an easy process to get everything started. My fiancé and I are active duty military and we weren’t able to make it out for a cake tasting due to tight schedules. Thistle and Honey mailed us the cake slices to our home to try. They arrived fresh and were amazing! It was a difficult choice between all of her cake flavors – they all melt in your mouth. We ended up going with the Vermont Maple cake. She made us a two-tiered cake which was perfectly sized for our 12 person wedding party. Thistle and Honey made the entire process easy and stress-free. It’s almost like the cake just appeared in our dinner area when it was time to eat. The cake itself was gorgeous and it was a fan favorite. We cannot thank Thistle and Honey enough for the wonderful cake and stress-free process for our wedding day.

never thought of anyone else since to design a cake for our special moments. We kept a piece of our cake frozen to remember that night and we are thankful for Nikki's baking. She truly helped us enjoy and celebrate our wedding, just the way we wanted.

cake for a better idea of the cake format. Nikki worked around our crazy schedule to arrange for us to pick up the cupcakes, and even met me part of the way to her! We opted for the cupcakes to try a few flavors and WOW they were delicious. We were torn between the maple and pumpkin cakes, and ended up opting for her pumpkin cake. Once we decided on a flavor, Nikki helped us figure out the rest of the details- how much icing we wanted, what shape the cake would be, and the size of the cake. She was responsive leading up to the wedding and let us downsize when we received a flood of negative RSVPs due to Covid concerns. On the wedding day, she delivered the cake and it was so beautiful! We loved the natural look of the cake (“it looks like a tree” - our guests), and it was so delicious and a huge hit! She also gave us a separately packaged anniversary cake so we could still keep with tradition, but not have the hassle of saving it and cutting the rest of the cake at once.

ng, Nikki!

on cupcakes and whoopie pies. Second, she is an AMAZING communicator and so personable! She is timely and answers every question/concern that you may have. Third, her decorating and presentation skills are incredible!! I sent her a long list of designs that I love in wedding cakes, and she managed to touch upon almost all of them to create the most beautiful (and incredibly delicious) wedding cake. Fourth, she's super flexible and willing to work with you to provide the wedding cakes/desserts of your dreams. She has a dessert bar option and with the sweet tooth I have, I wanted a little bit of everything and she made that come to life!! For our wedding Nikki (single handedly by the way - this woman is a rock star) made a two-tier german chocolate cake, a chocolate whiskey whip grooms pie, and a dessert bar filled with mini cupcakes (raspberry-lemon, peanut butter chocolate, and maple cream), whoopie pies (chocolate, lemon, and maple), apple cider doughnuts (old fashioned and sugared), fruit tartlets, raspberry shortbread bars, and rocky road brownies for ~100 guests. Nikki provided the plating and signage, which she made sure fit into our overall wedding aesthetic. If you have a sweet tooth like me, then you need to hire Nikki. She is really the dream and will make your day absolutely perfect!!
