Cookie decorating classes will be starting up in the fall, and Thornhill and Davey will be collaborating on holiday boxes for Thanksgiving and Christmas, in addition to creating delicious menus for catering and wholesale. Davey loves how her cookies and confections “almost always put a smile on someone’s face.” “We have been very well received by the community and feel very blessed to have our shop and our friendship,” she says.
Adds Thornhill: “We have the tastiest and prettiest treats in town!”
