Laurel has a true passion for the craft. “I love to make people smile by surprising them with baked goods, or delighting a customer with a whimsical cookie set design, ” says Laurel. “With so much stuff on the planet, I love the consumable, temporary nature of this art form which is why I fell in love with it in the first place” . “ No cookie is "too pretty to eat"! I am hoping to expand my little home cookie business and take it full time in a commercial kitchen so I can ship cookies to customers throughout the country. ”

Laurel started baking as a hobby while working towards her Fine Arts degree from the University of Michigan. “I would make intricate cakes and cookies for friends and family whenever I had the opportunity, And even built pie into my senior design thesis, ” says Laurel. “After college, I did an apprenticeship at a local cake shop, which is where I was first exposed to royal icing and sugar cookie decorating. ”
Today Laurel shares with us a classic recipe from her family archives, MaJean ' s Chocolate Syrup.
