Hi! My name is Sarah. 

Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the cookie world!

 

I'm a self taught home baker, student of the cookie decorating video rabbit hole. 

I'm not a baking scientist, nor a blank cookie canvas artist - just someone who enjoys 

bringing a little sweetness to the world. 

Originally from Minneapolis, MN, I started my business in 2019 while living in a suburb of 

Madison, WI with my husband Kyle and two children, Andrew & Elizabeth. We've since 

moved back toward the Twin Cities and built a house in New Richmond, WI in St. Croix 

County, in Western Wisconsin. (Or as we call it, "Eastern Minnesota.") My interest in baking

has grown from a general enjoyment to an all around obsessive (and expensive) hobby.

I've always had an interest in baking, including birthday cakes for each of my two kids. But I 

hadn't decorated my first cookie until February 2019, for my son's 5th birthday. Everyone was so

sweet in their complements, but the truth is, I never would have imagined myself taking orders and 

selling my decorated cookies after that first attempt, and it took me several months to pick up a rolling

pin again. I can't quite be sure what enticed me back, but I forced my husband's family to endure my sugar cookies in the Summer of 2019, and then again a month later when we had a backyard barbecue with friends from our preschool. From this journey came my first paid order in September 2019 and I've been having a blast ever since!

When I'm not stressing out about whether you're going to love your cookies or if I've over-communicated in my long reply back to your order inquiry, I enjoy spending time with family & friends, using far too much sarcasm, watching obscene amounts of cookie decorating videos (and crime dramas), listening to audio books & podcasts, and pretending I'm witty & hilarious. *wink*

Truly though, thank you for checking out my website. It means the world to us. As the saying goes, your support helps with the extra little things in my and my family's life... travel baseball, swim, soccer, travel to see family and friends, and a nice chai latte now and then.
