A berry first birthday for a sweet little girl!🍓

Phew! It's been awhile since I've done cookies so I got excited and took the final photos before I wrote "Berry First Birthday" on the jelly jars🤦🏻‍♀️ so I'll leave that up to the imagination.

Merry (almost) Christmas!

This was simply a "for fun" cake that I wanted to try out and it turned out so cute!

This knitted beanie is a strawberry cake infused with strawberry jelly, filled with vanilla buttercream, "knitted" with strawberry buttercream and topped with a massive strawberry cake pop (Pom Pom).

It's been a while!

The kitchen is still closed until the new year due to moving and still living out of boxes😅but when I got this offer, I had to take it!

Here are my version of the famous Iowa State Fair bucket of cookies🍪 This bucket better be big because there's 500 of these chewy, chocolatey bites of yum.

As for taking more orders, I hope to slowly start up again in late spring 2024. For now, just baking for close friends and family (and the occasional large order like this) has been plenty.

Effective now through the end of this year: I will not be taking any more orders. We've got a bunch of life changes (good changes!) happening and I just don't have the ability to keep up with orders.

BUT still watch out for "just for fun" bakes that I will continue to post here and there. Just like this little cake, which is bursting with flavor!

Here you have a fresh lemon & blueberry cake filled with blueberry buttercream, iced with vanilla buttercream and decorated with white chocolate feathers.

While we're known for pretty sugar cookies, don't miss out on our good ole' classics like s'mores bars and oreo white chocolate chip cookies for your next event! We deliver!

🍫 S'mores Bar: Gooey marshmallow and loads of chocolate sandwiched between two delicious layers of graham cracker cookie dough. Who needs a campfire when you've got these?
•$30 for a 9x13 pan - you can cut them to your preferred size

🖤🤍 Oreo White Chocolate Chip Cookies: A classic vanilla base cookie loaded with oreos and white chocolate chips. These cookies are large and in charge and stay that "fresh baked" kind of soft for days of enjoyment (if they last that long).
•$30 for 15 large cookies

Order yours today!

✨Inspired by lavender✨

How's everyone's gardens doing? My flowers are fighting against this drought and bunnies (speaking of - I should've added a few to this set).

But let's be honest, even during a good year, I can't keep things alive all season no matter how hard I try. At least I can make cookies bloom!

Happy baby shower day to my brother and sister in law! While we couldn't be there to celebrate with you, I was honored to be a part of your day through cookies 🧡

Father's Day cookies are now available! Order now and schedule a pickup date/time or see you at the Farmers Market on Wednesday (details in pictures)!

Set of 2, 3-4 inch cookies, individually heat sealed and packaged specially for the occasion: $10.

Want to try before you buy? Mini samplers will be available while supplies last!

It's looking like the summer temperatures are here to stay in Iowa. ☀️

As we head into the hotter months, where possible, get your cookie shipments into the AC as soon as you can and take them out of their boxes (it gets stuffy in there!) This will ensure that the icing doesn't start to stick to the baggies so you have a sharp design to display at your event.

Another reminder, do not stick cookies in the fridge! They like hanging out on the counter at room temp. After refrigeration, condensation starts to develop and can mess up the icing.

I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day! I'm back in the kitchen starting June 5th so if you've got events coming up, get your orders in!

A weekend full of more baby shower and Easter cookies ahead, so here's baby #2 of last week 💙💚

Loved all the different textures and layers in this set💕

While I'm working through all the baby shower cookies this week/weekend (so many cute themes coming!) I figured I would post a "get to know my kitchen" photo.

Since I operate as a home bakery and only meet for pickup in public places (I'm all about safety and privacy so if you order from me, it's nothing personal), you don't get that same experience as walking into a bakery and seeing the environment where your treats are being crafted. So here it is!

It's a nice open concept where our kitchen is part of our living and dining rooms, but since starting this bakery, I have dreams of more counter space in a future home😂 this photo was on a non-baking day, but on baking days the desserts easily take over.

Just a note: All cottage food bakeries in Iowa must be inspected by the health department prior to granting a license.

Not all sugar cookies are created equal!My favorite dessert is cake so when making my cookies, I aim to make them "cakey...
