My name is Chef Nicholas Pleasants. My journey in the culinary world began fifteen years ago in professional kitchens, but it was five years ago that I truly found my passion in the art of baking. I founded The Seventeenth Company as a tribute to the light of my life, my son Landon, who was born on the seventeenth. He is the heart and soul of everything I do, and his infectious joy is the secret ingredient in every recipe I create. What started as a small cookie shop has blossomed into a full dessert catering business, allowing me to share my love for sweets with the entire community. I specialize in crafting everything from classic favorites to unique, adventurous flavors, and I take great pride in offering inclusive options like gluten-free and vegan treats. Whether I am preparing custom orders for a special celebration or whipping up a batch of my signature English Toffee cookies, I pour my heart into every detail to ensure each bite brings as much happiness to your family as Landon brings to mine.
