3 words that summarize your work:
Cookie Queen, baking, artist
A typical day in your life:
I am a home baker so it’s a very convenient situation for me since I’m a mom of five and still have mom duties to take care of. I built out a cookie studio in my house that is my own mini commercial kitchen. What I love about my job is every order is custom so each day brings new shapes, new icing colors and new themes. I am a one woman show so in addition to cookie making I have to make sure client emails, texts and phone calls are answered, social media platforms are updated daily and find time to squeeze in some lunch!
Your favorite color:
Robin egg blue
Best compliment you ever received:
I had a client look at her cookies and begin to cry. It is a moment I’ll never forget. I put my all into every order so for me to be able to produce something that brings out emotions tells me I’m doing something right.
Favorite place on earth:
Maui - I’ve only been once but it was magical.
Best advice you ever received:
Don’t undervalue yourself. Know your worth!
Dream gig:
I have to admit that being asked to be part of this Galentine Box collaboration was a dream gig for me! My big dream is to have a cookie exhibition at a local art gallery. It’s going to be epic!
The best part of what you do:
I love the interaction with my clients. It may sound silly but it’s an amazing feeling to know my cookies will be part of a celebration and bring joy to someone.
The most challenging part of what you do:
I love when my clients give me creative freedom but that can also be challenging because I start to second guess myself on if it will be what they expected.
Where can we buy from you?
I currently take custom orders and can also be found at the Lafayette Farmers and Artisan Market at Moncus Park.
