Time to bake the cookies

For those of you that don't know, my best friend Nicole and I have been baking cookies and selling them for about a year now. It started last Halloween when we baked a bunch of sugar cookies for our friends. Then we realized, not only was it fun to do, but we actually were pretty good at it. We like to think our cookies are a step above the rest. We put a lot of care into baking them, decorating them and packaging them and so far, we've had a pretty good run with it. We try to make our sugar cut-out cookies like the ones you might remember when you were a kid...nice and thick and chewy with colorful frosting and decorations.

Last year we baked for Christmas, Valentine's Day, Easter and Mother's Day. This year we figured we would just take orders for Christmas, but lo-and-behold, one of Nicole's good friends asked if we were interested in selling our goodies at the Haunted House of Rochester. They get something like a few thousand people coming through there every weekend in October. Of course, Nicole and I had to jump at that opportunity. That means we'll be spending much of our spare time this month whipping up bats, pumpkins, ghosts and "BOO!" shaped cookies. If you are looking for something spooky to do this month, stop into the Haunted House of Rochester at 1592 Qualtrough Road in Penfield and be sure to pick up some Sugar Mama Confections!!

We appreciate your support. What started as something fun to do is slowly turning into a potential business for us in the future. This year, we have so much demand, we had to order our own rubber stamp. And we also have very professional looking ingredients labels. Keep an eye out for our Christmas cookies which we will begin taking orders for in mid-November. I don't think we'll be selling cookies to the public for Halloween as we'll have our hands full with this Haunted House gig. Please don't let that discourage you from emailing us with any orders. We can make cookies for all occasions. Contact us at sugarmamaconfections@gmail.com.
