Some milestones deserve a permanent spot in the memory book. . .and this is definitely one of them. 💙
Two weeks ago, this order felt almost impossible.
Today, 1,152 hand-decorated cookies later…
⚓️ 96 dozen cookies
⚓️ 50 batches of dough
⚓️ 122 pounds of finished cookies
. .the largest order I’ve ever completed is officially on its way to Nantucket for the Boston Pops on Nantucket with special guest Yächtley Crëw.
There were long days that turned into even longer nights. My mixer never seemed to stop, the counters disappeared beneath cookies, and every time I thought I was nearing the finish line, there was another tray waiting for me. But somewhere between batch number one and cookie number 1,152, I realized something…
This little business has become something I only used to dream about.
To Casey, thank you for believing in me and trusting me with a project of this magnitude. I know what an enormous leap of faith it is to place an order like this with a small business, and I will never take that trust for granted.
To Taylor, can’t thank you enough for getting the most epic video of the cookies in flight! ✈️ PLUS your muscles to transport them from car to office to plan! You rock! 💞
To my mom, Max and anyone else who helped me get to the finish line, thank you! I’m beyond blessed that I have you. Lyn Smith Julia Monteiro Johnson
People often see the finished cookies, but they don’t always see the quiet moments behind them—the early mornings, the late nights, the sore hands, the problem-solving, the excitement, and yes… the occasional conversation with my mixer. 😂
Every single cookie that left my kitchen carried a little piece of my heart with it.
If you’ve ever ordered from me, shared one of my posts, recommended me to a friend, or simply cheered me on from the sidelines… you helped build this moment. This milestone belongs to all of us, and I couldn’t be more grateful.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to enjoy looking at a counter with no cookies on it… at least until the next adventure begins.
