A NYS cottage bakery by Brittany Hlavac — fully customizable cookie sets tailored to your taste and style. Cupcakes, gourmet drop cookies, and hands-on decorating classes in Sullivan County.
Public classes run a few times a month around Sullivan County and the Middletown area. Aprons, icing bags, and a boxed set to take home are all included. Private parties available on request.
Six cookies, three icing colors, one very happy afternoon. All skill levels.
Couples class — we pipe, you laugh. BYOB, we'll pour the sprinkles.
Kid-friendly designs, sprinkle buffet, and a take-home box for each decorator.
Birthdays, showers, girls' nights, corporate team events. I travel to you or host at the studio.
The Southern Belle Bakery was established in 2021 and is the culmination of over twenty years of dreaming and planning. Brittany is a local mother of three from Rock Hill, NY by way of Conway, AR.
Her love of sugar art started at a young age, helping her grandmother and great-grandmother bake for friends, family and the community. Many of the desserts featured here come from recipes passed down through generations, each baker adding her own little something.
"It's not just a cookie — it's a legacy."




Every set is one of a kind. If something here sparks an idea, send me a note and we'll design yours together.









Custom sets book up fast — two to three weeks of notice is ideal for weekend pickups, and four to six weeks for weddings or larger events. Same-week inquiries are welcome if the calendar allows.
Custom decorated sugar cookies start at one dozen. Cupcakes start at a half dozen. Seasonal drops are sold by the set.
Local pickup in Rock Hill, NY is the easiest, and delivery can be arranged within Sullivan and Orange counties for larger orders. Shipping is case by case — ask me.
Southern Belle Bakery is a NYS cottage food operation — everything is made from scratch in a home kitchen, using ingredients I'd feed my own three kids.
Yes — birthdays, bridal showers, girls' nights, corporate team building. I bring the cookies, icing, sprinkles and aprons. You bring the guests and the snacks.
