When people think of our business, they usually think of cookies. And yes, we love creating sweet moments of celebration through our custom cookies! But at our core, we're about something even sweeter – helping people connect through food.
Everyone has to eat! This simple truth became my inspiration for expanding beyond just baking cookies. While cookies bring joy to celebrations, I wanted to create tools for everyday moments of connection, especially around the dinner table.
From Cookie Classes to Connection
Teaching others to bake has always been a passion of mine. Through our in-person and online classes, I've watched countless people laugh, learn, and create together. There's something magical about working with food that gets people talking and sharing naturally.
But I noticed something interesting during these classes – some of the best moments weren't about the food at all. They were about the conversations that happened while people worked together. The stories shared while measuring flour. The dreams discussed while decorating cookies. The memories made in between steps of a recipe.
The Birth of Dinner Table Connection Cards
This observation led me to create something special for our community. Inspired by my own family dinners and the way my kids naturally start sentences with "imagine," I developed conversation starter cards specifically for family meal times.
These aren't just random questions – they're carefully crafted prompts that spark imagination, encourage sharing, and create natural conversation flows. From talking about your day to dreaming about the future, each card opens the door to meaningful family connections.
Why Mealtime Matters
In our busy world, dinner time might be the only moment when everyone is in the same place at the same time. It's a built-in opportunity for connection that already exists in your day. No extra scheduling required – everyone has to eat!
But sometimes we need a little help getting the conversation started. That's where these cards come in. They take the pressure off and make talking together fun and easy.
As we wrap up 2024, we want to share these conversation starters with our community. While we'll continue creating delicious cookies for your celebrations, we also want to help nurture those everyday moments of connection around your dinner table.
These cards are our way of saying thank you for being part of our journey. They represent what we believe in – that food isn't just about eating, it's about connecting, sharing, and creating moments together.
Looking Forward
As we move into 2025, we'll continue expanding our vision of food-centered connection. From teaching cookie decorating to facilitating family conversations, we're here to help you create both sweet treats and sweet moments with the people you love.
Because at the end of the day, whether it's cookies or conversation cards, our real business is bringing people together through food.
