A Cookie Artist Story
Hello I am Mariana the creative cookie designer behind The Kind Cookie & Co.
When I was little I remember my mother always having me around to help around the kitchen to cook or bake and seeing the end results was my favorite part, haha eating them too of course. Therefore I can say thats where the love of making special treats for people started.
I am Happily married to Kevin and together we have two beautiful kids, Jacob and Sophia.
When my son was 4 years old I started looking in to ways I can decorate and the treats I was going to serve for his upcoming party and that is when I stumble upon decorated sugar cookies. I decided to give it a try and Lord be hold it was a hit in the belly of our guests and in my desire and love to make treats for people. And just like that I was hooked!
Next thing I knew I was getting cookies request by family members, friends and acquaintances. In a matter of months I went from a dozen for my son’s birthday party to 200 decorated cookies for my sister’s in law wedding reception. As the time went by I was getting more and more requests however my career in health care was not allowing me the time I needed to keep up with all the request, so I kept to only requests of my family and close friends.
In 2017 my daughter was born and my husband and I decided I would stay home with the kids, so there it was the opportunity of baking and letting my creativity flow presented it self again. And here we are many years, themes, and cookies later The Kind Cookie & Co. was created in November 2018
In early 2021 I had the amazing experience of getting scouted by producers of Food Network and I was chosen to compete in Christmas Cookie Challenge season 5. It was an amazing experience, and is one of the highlights and highest achievements of my cookie journey yet, which I know it is just the beginning of many great things yet to come.
I honestly love what I do and enjoy seen people enjoy what I made for them with so much love and care. Using the best quality ingredients and attention to all the details and presentations is very important to me, But let's face it, they may look too stunning to eat, but it's sole purpose in life is to be eaten and enjoyed!
It would be my absolute honor to make cookies for your life’s special moments.
Until then... Keep calm, bake, and cookie on...
Sincerely,
Mariana.
