Hi everyone! Welcome to Be Still Bakery! I offer custom decorated cookies, celebration cakes, and teach fun decorating classes to the Ocala area. Hi, Megan here!

Painting and drawing has always been a hobby of mine. I've been selling custom artwork to friends, coworkers, and neighbors for the past 10 years and recently rebranded. Be Still Bakery now offers cakes, cookies, and decorating classes to the Ocala area.

Nothing quite hits like a cup of cocoa on a cold wintery morning! We are almost ready for the New Cozy with Cocoa online class release. Had to sneak in one more preview before the big reveal. Wrapping things up as we speak. Cutters can be purchased early at if you want to get a head start.

Didn’t have a ton of spare time this year for a huge Halloween sale on my website, still working on editing the new Cozy with Cocoa Christmas class! But I did manage to get a few boxes of minis out the doors! Y’all snagged these too quick this year 🐈‍⬛👻🎃 I will have a lot more available for Christmas.

This polar employee is working hard to make sure those cups of cocoa stay warm this winter. He is the third design in my upcoming Christmas cookie class that’s being released this weekend! Come learn how to knit a textured scarf with me (with royal icing of course). Can’t wait for this winter wonderland of cookies!

Cutters can be purchased early at just search the online class tab and this will be in the intermediate collection.

Mr. Polar Bear has a cocoa quota to meet this season. How adorably cozy is he?! All of the designs in this upcoming online class were inspired by this cart right here. As you saw from yesterday’s post the hot cocoa sign was taken and magnified. What cookie design do you think is next?

Cutters are available early at and the class will be available this weekend! Save the post so you don’t forget. Early birds get a deal too 😘

One of my long time cookie clients recently decided to host a non traditional baby shower and invited me to come teach her guests how to decorate cookies to welcome little Magnolia! I was so honored and excited to be a part of this! I brought a variety of flavors for everyone to try, and came prepared with pre-piped florals for students to easily pop them on their cookies. (Tip of the day for fellow cookie teachers! A huge time saver and even the kids can handle that). Thankful for a community that loves cookies and sweet conversations. 🥰

10/22/2024

Private cookie class as a replacement to a traditional baby shower? YES PLEASE! I hosted this class for a mama to be and her guests, in honor of welcoming little miss Magnolia. What a unique and fun experience!

Friends, Family, and Followers…I’m entering The Greatest Baker contest hosted by Buddy Valastro and I need your input. Burger has more airbrushing and realism…but cereal has higher level of difficulty with the gravity defying component and use of more materials. Which cake should I enter?? The burger or the cereal bowl? Comment with your vote below and most votes wins.

My local baker friend, Paula of The Pink Bow Cookie Co., is selflessly offering her services to help raise money for her friend! Please see her fundraiser below and consider purchasing one of the options! Let’s rally together Ocala and help our special needs community members. 💟 Please share this post, as an extra way to help spread the word.

Little Emily has been designing her own cakes for years now, and it’s my job to bring her vision to life! I love the vintage ripped fabric look to this little ghost! She wanted that white on white with a little pop of orange at the base. I thought the addition of a marbled fuchsia cake board would bring in just a little more fun and excitement to the party! 🤍🧡🩷 I’ll be sharing the insides on the next post.

I know everyone is gearing up for Christmas, and in secret, I am too (new class on deck!) But I can’t leave out some of these fun October birthday orders. Here’s a sneak peek of a fun one 🎃

Tonight’s prize basket for one lucky student. Can’t wait to see everyone for the Sweater Weather Cookie Class at AR Workshop Ocala!

Had to throw it back to last year’s Oogie Boogie cake before the big day! See my previous post for some of the behind the scenes of making it.

Avila was more interested in playing with the icing than eating her cake, but she was still adorable.

Today was supposed to be the last day for sign ups, but due to lots of power outages and inability to get online, I’m keeping it open through the weekend. Only a few spots left! Click the link below for ticket info!

In case you missed my FB post last week about my newest in person class, I’m throwing it here in Insta! I still have a few spots left for my Oct 18th class if I have anyone looking for a fun date night, girls night, or generational fun (we have a group of three generations coming!) Ages 12+ for this one please as we do have some grip strength needed for some of our piping work. Visit my website to purchase tickets! Snacks, drinks, giveaway prize, and all materials are included.

I’ll be at a new location this time! in the Earth Fare/Best Buy Plaza. Their instructors are offering a fun matching pumpkin knit craft immediately following the cookie class!

What the cluck?! 🐓 My chick, is the baddest of them all. Happiest birthday my chicken obsessed friend!

We celebrated my sweet mama’s birthday over the summer too. When I say practically all of my family has a birthday within two weeks of each other in Aug/Sept, I’m not lying lol. I managed to sneak in her favorite strawberry flavored cookies before all the cousins had their parties.
