Itโs wild to think weโve already slid right into July โ like the year hit the gas pedal and forgot to slow down for the BakeBoss Bake Shop household. One minute we were working on end of 2025 orders, and then it was the baby shower, spring orders and welcoming our sweet new grandson.
Life has been full in the best, busiest way. Between family visits, late night baby cuddles, and the everyday swirl of running BakeBoss, the days have been moving fast. And then, somehow, CookieCon was staring me down from the calendar like, โHeyโฆ you ready?โ I wasnโt.
Prepping for CookieCon basically became its own season around here โ figuring out designs for the Sugar Show and completing them, developing a new cookie flavour and being one of 10 bakers selected for the Tasting Event, baking 900 tasting cookies, organizing supplies, and trying to remember where we put that one tool we swear we just had in our hand and still getting out orders. It was chaotic, it was exciting, it was a little (no, a lot) exhausting, and honestlyโฆ it felt like exactly where we were meant to be.
Cookiecon is 900 cookiers gathering for 4 days of hands-on classes and lectures, meeting new cookie friends and seeing old cookie friends from around the world. It is always so much fun, and so tiring, but in the best way. Feedback on my hibiscus lemon sugar cookie from the Tasting Event was great and has been added to our list of available sugar cookie flavours! As usual, I entered several categories in the Sugar Show, not with any expectation to win, but for the experience and the raffle tickets. (I didnโt win anything from the raffle table, oh well). But this year something happened! My entry, in the Black & White category, was selected by one of the instructors as their Instructors Choice. To say I was shocked is an understatement.
So, July came in hot, quite literally but weโre rolling with it. BakeBoss Bake Shop is back on track and ready to take your orders.
