Dining
Boho Bake's
showstopping cakes
include fan-favorite
flavor combinations
like chocolate and
peanut butter.
Baked
by Rhyan
Baker: Rhyan Hartman
Est: 2021
Baking inspo: When Hartman
went vegan, she wanted to ensure
she could still eat her favorite
foods, including sweets. After
earning rave reviews from friends
and family for her brownies and
cookies, she launched her business
and started selling her vegan
baked goods at the Roanoke City
Market.
You'd never guess
that Baked by Ryhan's
gooey stuffed s'mores
cookies are vegan.
Signature sweets: S'mores cookies.
There are four kinds, including
the classic, where two s'mores
cookies (chocolate chip cookies
with graham crackers and mini
marshmallows) are stuffed with
marshmallow, a riff stuffed with
Nutella, one made with red velvet
s'mores cookies, and the S'moreo,
where s'mores cookies are stuffed
with an Oreo.
Personal fave: Chocolate graham
cookies. Double chocolate cookies
are sandwiched around a homemade
graham cracker cookie butter
then rolled in cinnamon sugar.
Holiday must-have: Pre-order
9-inch vegan bourbon pecan pies
(back by popular demand), and
8-packs of fluffy, gooey cinnamon
rolls amply covered in frosting.
Where to find: Roanoke City
Market. Find menus and place
orders at bakedbyrhyan.square.
site. Follow Baked by Rhyan

Boho Bake
Baker: Kelly St. Fleur
Est: 2021
How it started: St. Fleur started
baking one-off requests for cupcakes
and cakes for friends and
family. Once they started offering
to pay her, and friends of
friends began placing orders, she
launched her business in earnest
and joined the Salem Farmer's
Market in 2021.
How it's going: St. Fleur will soon
have a brick-and-mortar presence
at 4145 West Main Street in
Glenvar, which will serve
as either a retail location
or pick-up spot, giving
fans more opportunity
to sample her sweet
treats.
Signature sweet:
The sweet Sammie
cookie sandwich
features two oatmeal
chocolate chip cookies
filled with cream cheese frosting.

It's named for St. Fleur's husband,
Samuel, who is also her right hand
in running the business. The pair
are eager to experiment with seasonal
riffs, like one made with
pumpkin chocolate chip cookies.
Showstopper: St. Fleur's cakes
could double as table centerpieces.
A perennial favorite is the chocolate
peanut butter cake sprinkled
with chopped Reese's Peanut
Butter Cups.
Fun fact: Before she started Boho
Bake, St. Fleur had a career in
nursing and two kids. Now she
bakes full-time while juggling
three kids and a business with
her husband.
