The Climb
Ownership and benchwork meet in Sister Honey's, where Evette Rahman is both owner and baker. That pairing says something practical about the trade: the person setting the direction is also the one working the dough, the fillings, and the finish. In a field that can reward speed and volume, her role points instead to repetition, control, and the kind of consistency that only comes from doing the work day after day.
Today
At Sister Honey's, the owner-and-baker model remains in place, with Evette Rahman carrying both the business and the baking. It is a double role, but not a decorative one: one side sets the standard, the other has to meet it. That kind of arrangement puts the bakery's identity directly in her hands, from broad decisions to the smallest details that show up at the counter.
