Lights, camera, cookies!
I was so excited to talk about my children's book on Bridge Street on NewsChannel 9 this morning. It's always great being reunited with my old news family too! Of course I made some cookies from the book to share.

"Dream a Dream" is a sweet bedtime story for little ones. It's available on Amazon. Shout-out to everyone for the continued support 💞

Some sweet news to share!
I was so excited to be featured on the Onondaga County Public Library's Podcast called Check It Out which was recorded at WCNY (link below). Thanks to Tom Walters for helping a former news buddy out. He's even trying to help get a few copies distributed at local libraries! I'll share more information on that when I can.

A reminder that my self-published children's book, "Dream a Dream," is available on Amazon. I've even started to get some reviews 😊

Thanks again to everyone who has purchased a copy and reached out. I truly appreciate the support and hope your little ones are enjoying the story and cookie art. 💕

🎉🎉🎉 I’m excited to finally share a personal project near and dear to my heart. I’ve self-published a children’s book inspired by and dedicated to my son. The art features my hand painted sugar cookies. It’s now available on Amazon!

“Dream a Dream” came about while putting my son down for naps when he was just a toddler. We would talk about all the fun things we could pretend to be while we were dreaming. One day, I turned it into a song/poem and wrote it down. I’ve tweaked and played around with the text for the past several years and decided to use my sugar cookie skills to bring the story to life. 

I’m excited to share this story with others and hope it will inspire imaginations and encourage sweet dreams with visions of sugar cookie dinosaurs, suns, bubbles, and more. The book even includes my Salt City Sugar cutout recipe! 

Please check it out and enjoy

Dusting off my cookie skills!
Hi everyone! It's been a hot minute since I've shared anything on this page. Life has been good and busy. While I'm still not taking custom orders, I have been finding some fun ways to keep decorating cookies.

I recently decided to enter a piece for the Erie Canal Museum's Gingerbread Gallery. They are celebrating the canal's bicentennial and we were encouraged to incorporate canal history. I decided to make part of the museum itself! My inspiration photo is at the end.

I believe the gallery is on display now through part of January. Check it out! So many awesome entries!

I have another fun personal cookie-related project in the works. I hope to share details soon 💕

Way to go Ally!!! If you haven't checked out The Love Bean - you should - her work is incredible! Can't wait to watch and cheer you on!

The local pastry chef hopes to use the prize money to invest in her own business.

🦩Happy International Flamingo Day🦩

I just realized I never posted any pictures of this sweet order from last year. Could there be a cuter theme for a little one named Birdie? Loved these soft colors 💕

🍓Strawberry themes always have my heart.

I decided to take on this small custom order for a loyal customer I love working with. Our styles just click ☺️

I figured it would be a great way to gauge my ability to juggle the cookie biz with my new gig and keep my skills up.

While I really loved getting creative and back in my cookie rhythm I realized I definitely won't be able to handle larger orders, especially if they are detailed. Only so much time in a day.

Back to the cookies! My favorite details were the cut open strawberries and the ity bity ones in the floral bouquet.

Which side are you?
Colorful Enid or Dark Wednesday? Maybe both?

This was one of the ideas thrown my way when I recently asked for inspiration.

I'm definitely a little rusty, but I enjoyed making this for fun! The colors are all hand painted 🎨💕

Happy 3-1-5 Day!

I made these last year as part of a giveaway. I just loved the colors!

I've called CNY home since 2008, but have also lived in Niagara Falls, NH, and ME. How long have you been a 3-1-5er?

Happy Pi Day!

I couldn't resist sharing these cookies again 🥧💕

I hope everyone stays safe and warm today.
