DIXON, CA (MPG) - Have you ever had sugar cookies so good they make your mouth melt? Have you ever wanted custom made sugar cookies for your baby shower, or your birthday party, or any special occasion? Have you ever wanted to offer your friends cookies handmade with love? Well, I have news for you! Courtney Hennagin-Sullivan’s small sugar cookie business is where you want to go.
CB Sugar Cookies has been around for about five years.
“It’s a solo business. There are times where my husband, Jeff, will help me but 99% of the time it's me.” Courtney does cookies for all sorts of events including baby showers, birthdays, weddings, it goes on. For now, there are no known plans to expand the business. Though it isn’t listed on her business account, when Courtney goes to sell cookies at events, she brings custom cookie kits, like the “Paint Your Own Cookie” kit, or the D.I.Y. cookie kit. However, they're only sold on these occasions.
Cookie prices start at $60 a dozen but depends on what design you’re looking for. Taking 1 to 2 orders a week, most customers choose to pick up their cookies, however, when businesses order cookies, she will drop them off. There are hardly any limits to your cookie ideas either. As long as the idea you have is realistic and doable, it can be done. If the order is unable to be done, to decide the idea, customers and Courtney go back and forth until there is an agreed idea.
On average, it takes only 2-3 days for cookie orders to be completed. Since she responds to requests towards the morning, she responds within 6-12 hours. That means you can have your cookies within 2-3 days after you ordered, as long as you reach out in the morning. This still depends on how much you order, of course. As of right now, there are no known discounts. Customers can reach out to her business directly @cbsugarcookies on Instagram.
When asked what her biggest motivation is, Courtney responded by saying that seeing the customers happy and smiling motivates her to keep making her cookies. She first started the business as a hobby. It was a fun activity, and a sweet gift for friends and family, but over time, that hobby evolved into a self-run business.
When asked what the most enjoyable part of her process was, Courtney said it was the customer’s smiles that was her favorite part, but also the process of making the cookies themselves. The business was started to achieve a little bit of financial freedom, and to also get her cookies out to the public.
