☀️ S O L S T I C E ☀️ Rachel & James celebrated their union on the summer solstice with a vibrant garden party juuuust after the rain passed—what LUCK! Mother Nature showed up for these sweeties with a bright blue sky and warm sunshine, just in time for the post-ceremony celebration.

R & J wanted to bring in the spirit of the season with warmth and sunny vibrance, and their cutting cake did exactly that! A sweet little thing (4” & 6”!) of almond and orange cake filled and frosted with vanilla orange buttercream, and it was accompanied by a smattering of fruity desserts! Including chocolate raspberry cupcakes, vanilla strawberry cupcakes, almond orange cupcakes, chocolate caramel tartlets, and raspberry frangipane tartlets. YUM.

Congratulations again to Rachel and James! ☀️❤️🍰

JahAsia and Grey’s cake from Saturday was a cuuuutie patootie! 2 tiers of raspberry cake filled with lemon curd and finished with classic vanilla buttercream, wowza!

Only two 2026 dates left, and my books for 2027 are now open! ❤️🍰🍋

A little refresh around here! ☀️

Thistle & Honey has been sloooowly shifting into something that feels a lot more like the cakes I actually love making — soft buttercream, seasonal flavors, nostalgic details, and designs that feel fun and playful without trying too hard to be something they’re not.

Part of that shift meant moving away from the old image-based branding (bye *literal* thistles!) and into something that feels warmer, brighter, a little more like summer at the lake, and a LOT more like me.

Over the next few weeks, you’ll see new cake flavors, more BTS of wedding cakes, and a reimagining of the weekly treat box (stay tuned for how you can help with this).

Still small batch. Still made in my home kitchen in Middlebury. Still probably thinking about new cake flavors and floating in the lake most of the time.

SO excited to finally share it all with you 🩵🍰☀️

Can you believe graduation season is nearly upon us?! Every year I am taken by surprise that it’s time, but this year I’m ready for it! And most importantly, I’m ready to make your graduation cakes! 🎓

In an effort to have a more calm and organized experience for all, I’ve created a ☀️limited grad menu☀️ on my site with an order form alongside it. We are going for EASE and JOY this time around, not chaos and burnout (which I am quite famous for bringing upon myself as a people-pleaser 😅).

SO! Head over to the site to see the menu—it’s the GRADUATION CAKES page at the top of the screen—and submit your cake inquiry now, because ALL grad orders close May 15th! …and that’s in 3 weeks my dudes 😬😅🩵
