searching for my passion, my schedule was filled with juggling classes, theatre, volunteering, and settling into my new job. Most times when life seemed to become overwhelming, I had a formula I could follow that seemed almost intuitive, baking. All my troubles seemed to melt away when I would focus on creating scrumptiously sweet treats for my loved ones. While my mind was cluttered with ideas fo
r my future, it finally dawned on me that I had what I was searching for all along, so I began to test recipes at my father’s grocery store in Glendale, CA. My goal was to use fresh local ingredients and provide our loyal customers with flavors from around the world, through cookies. Each product we baked was met with praise and love from our community and so we began to create my brand, Mary’s Sweets.
