Toni Gilbert

Owner

I actually started with the company as a temporary seasonal employee in 1988. I was going to college, and I went back to HoneyBaked over the holidays for three or four years. That worked out to be my extra spending money through college. Then one summer, the district manager in Arizona asked me if I wanted to work the summer. I agreed, became an hourly employee and it kind of clicked. I loved working at HoneyBaked, and I loved working with people. So, I started to move up the ladder.

We are excited for new menu innovations and elevating the customers' experience as they look forward to the next six decades.
