We hosted 2, back to back, events with Deb Mindham of Hazels/Tarts and Truffles and she was amazing to work with! We booked with her a year before the wedding weekend from the East Coast and she spent much time with us on numerous phone calls, planning the events. The buffet dinner was delicious with an abundance of food. The appetizer/dessert spread for our additional event was fabulous! Her team of servers were very professional and serviced both of our events in an incredibly attentive way. Our events were perfectly taken care of. Highly recommend

We used Tarts & Truffles for our small wedding cake and cupcakes for our guests. We absolutely love Hazel's food, but ended up disappointed with our overall experience with the bakery side of things. We were able to have a couple of tastings in order to try multiple flavors, which we were very gracious for. The taste and moist levels varied each time we tried a flavor, including on our wedding day. The communication was difficult and left me stressed. There were times I had to reach out multiple times in order to get a response, leaving me very frustrated. Our cake looked very nice, but tasted a bit dry. The cupcakes we had for our guests were baked in cups, making it difficult for them to eat. Had we known this was the case, we would have been able to provide spoons for our guests. I would not recommend choosing Tarts & Truffles for your wedding due to the lack of consistency of the baked goods, communication, and difficulty eating the cupcakes.
If I could give a rating higher than five stars, I so would!!! Celebrated my 50th birthday last Sunday and had catered food brought in from Tarts and Truffles (Hazel’s Diner) to our private party aboard Polaris Sunset Cruise Gage boat tour. The food was absolutely scrumptious and just perfect! We chose the Slider buffet, tortellini pasta salad, fresh tossed green salad, fresh fruit, kettle chips and cookie dessert bars. The four different sliders offered were each out of this world delicious!!! Especially with the homemade rolls like my mom used to make!! The dressings and condiments were also bang on!!! The kids and adults alike devoured the chocolate chip bar squares that were thicker than any I’d seen!!
My one and only one note of concern is that we thought we had ordered an assorted cookie bar tier that included brownies, mint brownies and lemon squares. I was so looking forward to trying a bite of each of these, only to discover there were only two offerings. Of course the chocolate chip which is always a crowd winner, was gone in a flash, leaving behind the overly sweet and thick raspberry blonde which was not a crowd favorite.
If I’d known I’d only have two from the list, I would have opted for my personal favorites of lemon squares and brownies. That one teeny hiccup aside, the food was a complete success!!! They did an amazing job and for having limited space available on the boat, it was tastefully elegant and yet relaxed, with fresh linens, china plates and flowers.
I highly, highly recommend Tarts and Truffles catering!!! Looking forward to visiting their Bakery and Diner in Hebron, Hazel’s. If it’s anywhere near as good as what they offered on the boat, you won’t be leaving disappointed or hungry!! Thank you for making my 50th birthday truly one of the best memories!!!
