Dream Wedding Cake Experience with 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!

The Sweetest Vintage, Valentine's Day Wedding Cake

Absolutely PERFECT!! Our wedding cake was so incredibly beautiful and delicious. Sharon captured our vintage, Valentine's Day theme perfectly. When I first saw the cake, I was completely speechless. I was just SO incredibly happy with how intricate and gorgeous it was, not to mention how TASTY it was. Highly, HIGHLY recommend The Tenacious Tart!!

Delicious with an artists touch

Sharon is awesome. Her cakes are delicious. She always has different flavors of cake so I would recommend getting a tasting sampler. I love that her flavors are not cookie cutter, they’re unique and unfortunately all delicious which made it very difficult to choose our cake! Her style seems to be more of a simple and elegant style, just what we were looking for. She listens to what you are looking for and suggests the best options for you based on that. I love that her cakes are beautiful too, definitely with an artistic and creative flair. Cake was punctual and perfect!

I own The Tenacious Tart, located in beautiful Charleston SC. I am South Carolina born & James Island raised. I graduated culinary school and the pastry arts program in New Orleans. While living there, I worked at Commander's Palace & The Royal Sonesta on Bourbon Street. Then I took the head pastry chef position at Apolline, on Magazine Street. I moved back to James Island to help with family. I saved $300 from selling cakes at a local farmers market and The Tenacious Tart was born. Side note, I keep a pair of binoculars on my desk so I can watch the cardinals that visit my bird feeder daily.
