Do not take anything. We had a long thread on here before Christmas about someone taking food when specifically asked not to. I know its difficult for some to understand but with some people if you still take a replacement food item ( a cake when you are just going for a snack....or a desert when its a meal) the recipient can feel defensive and think their offering is not seen as good enough. Yes, I know its not obvious but that's just how some people think and with the best of intentions you could upset them. So if they have specifically asked you not to bring anything then do not!
The exception would be a few snowdrops from the garden or similar...something small and impromptu .
If you do want to show your appreciation afterwards then a nice well chosen card with a simple 'Thank You' would, I am sure be very welcome.
