Alex Makes Sweets

Alex Makes Sweets Alex Makes Sweets is a cottage bakery in Stanton, NE, where cookies are more than just a sweet treat; they're the highlight of the table! Hi there!

Currently, I offer custom cookie sets, cookie cakes, and an all new cookie menu! Visit my website for more! I’m Alex, the cookie designer and heart behind Alex Makes Sweets. What started as a hobby and a deep love for sharing delicious meals and desserts has grown into something even more exciting: my very own baking business! Back in 2020, I was asked to make sugar cookies for my friend’s parents

' 60th birthday. Little did I know that one order would reawaken my passion for baking and decorating. Since then, I’ve taken on occasional orders here and there, and my love for cookie decorating has only continued to grow. Now, I’m thrilled to turn that passion into a full-fledged business! I specialize in hand-decorated sugar cookies, but my desire to bake doesn’t stop there. From soft and chewy classic cookies to beautifully frosted cupcakes, cakes, and a variety of other sweet treats, I aim to create custom desserts of all types and for any celebration. When I’m not baking or cooking up delicious meals, you can find me enjoying nature, trying to keep my garden alive, or sipping on a hot cup of java. Thanks for visiting my sweet little corner of the internet and supporting my small business dream. I can’t wait to help make your next occasion a little more delightful!

A little late posting these beauties, but they were too pretty not to share 🌸🩺💕

I had so much fun creating these Mother’s Day and Nurse Appreciation cookies! A sweet reminder to celebrate the people who love, care for, and show up for others every single day 💗
