After earning his Associate's degree in Baking and Pastry Arts from the Culinary Institute of Michigan, Gary relocated to Traverse City. He is an indispensable part of Sarah's team, contributing to recipe development—with a particular zeal for cheesecakes—along with pastry preparation. Gary thrives on innovation and new experiences. Outside of work, he enjoys socializing with friends, broadening his palate by sampling new cuisines, and deepening his knowledge of cocktails and wines.

Brianne, originally from Traverse City, has been a part of Sweet Tartlette nearly from its inception. Beginning as counter staff while attending Hope College, she obtained her BA in Studio Art with a minor in Art History. She has since become a vital member of the shop, taking on the roles of Manager, social media expert, and photographer. Collaborating with Sarah and the rest of the team, she helps turn cake fantasies into reality for a variety of events, from daily celebrations to numerous weddings. Beyond the shop, she's an active local artist, cherishes family time, engages in her ceramic art, and captures moments with her film cameras.
