Birch Tree's Naughty and Nice Cookies
Tastemaker
By Anna Faller | Jan. 25, 2025
Sugar meets a touch of spice at Birch Tree Bakery and Café in Harbor Springs. Opened in 2022, this from-scratch bakeshop offers everything from custom cakes to artisan breads and beyond, and their cheeky Naughty and Nice Sugar Cookies are back on the menu in time for Valentine’s Day. Modeled after the love season’s heart-shaped candies, these sweet treats up the indulgence ante with their buttery bite, delicate almond flavor, and holiday-hued royal icing. It’s the hand-piped “conversation” script, though—which ranges from quintessential phrases, like “love” and “be mine,” to adults-only jokes and profanities—that’ll have you back for seconds. Be sure to dunk a few crumbly corners in a raspberry mocha for a match Cupid himself would be proud of! Fall in pastry love at Birch Tree Bakery and Café in Harbor Springs at 181 E. Main St. (231) 242-4402
