Adding to her collection- Blue Ribbons from this years national competitions.
Pies, cakes, cupcakes, bars, brownies, cookies, tartlets all stock the tidy bakery. Each item baked from scratch by Blue Ribbon baker, Evette Rahman of Sister Honey’s. Pies and cakes are sold whole and by the slice, but one should plan on placing an order in advance if you have your heart set on a whole cake or pie. Items go quickly once they are placed up front.
The pies and cakes that sit temptingly under glass domes, are the baked goods of magazine covers. They are as appealing to look at, as they are to devour. Well, they are WAY tastier to eat, but they would be the perfect addition to any holiday table or celebration centerpiece.
I wish I could say that extensive research was needed to write about Sister Honey’s. In the short time the bakery has been open, my family has become regulars. My Mom puts in requests when she knows I’m going to be somewhat in the area of Orange Avenue and Michigan.
Pecan Pie Tartlets…my Mom’s fav.
This year we broke with decades long family tradition of our standard and beloved marble birthday cake for my birthday and ordered an amazing Citrus Burst pie- (Orange and Key Lime) from Sister Honey’s. Best.Birthday.Ever!
Citrus Burst Pie- Tart Key Lime kissed with Creamsicle Orange.
If you are a cake lover…the Coconut Cake is spectacular. Maybe you like chocolate? This chocolate cake with Chocolate frosting and topped with ganache is simply awesome. My Hubby isn’t a fan of cakes, pies are his thing. I had to fend him off of this amazing cake and we ended up sharing the carbs.
Chocolate Cake with Chocolate frosting and Dark Chocolate Ganache. Not too sweet, a great chocolate cake.
The German Chocolate cake will have you wondering why you haven’t had this more often.
The Raspberry Cheese pie and the Coconut Cream pie are super creamy and delicious.
Raspberry Cheese Pie, light and slightly tart.
Coconut Cream Pie- shut UP!
Perhaps cupcakes are more your thing. The Peanut Butter Cup Cupcakes are amazing- the Red Velvet and the Coconut Lime are equally delicious.
Peanut Butter Cup Cupcakes…chocolate cake and light and pea-nutty frosting!

The brownies are dense and fudgy, the cookies are tempting. Apple pound cake, Lemon-Lime pound cake and coffee cakes are also delicious. Truth be told, so far, we haven’t found a clunker in any of the baked goods. Guessing that Evette should stick with this baking thing for now.
