I am a self taught cookie artist. My idea of creating a cookie was a slice and bake with the little designs in the middle. I am a gymnastics and cheer coach, and business owner, so cookie decorating doesn’t exactly go with that profession.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in January of 2009. That absolutely turned everything upside down. I sold my gymnastics club and was lost. I love to be busy and creative and that outlet was gone. One day, while searching the internet for what I wanted to do, I remembered my cousin gave my mom a cookie boquet for her 75th birthday. It wasn’t my idea, it was one of those blessings in life where it is something more than just me.

There it was! Decorated cookies. How hard could that be? A lot harder than I could imagine, but I love a challenge.

I read, I studied, I practiced, and I got better. I got a lot of encouragement from my family and friends. Then a great friend asked if I could make cookies for her college bound daughter. Sure, why not? Her daughter took pics of some of my first cookies, posted my cookies on social media and I was officially in business.

I still study, read, practice and have become a better artist and businesswoman. Cookies are my passion, my profession, my creative outlet.
I am married with 2 sons, 2 daughters in law and 2 sweet grands. My family has indirectly joined in on my adventure. My niece is the creator of the cupcakes and cake pops. We create, decorate and have great family time because of cookies. It has been the best pivot of my life. I hope to create something beautiful for you soon!
