Cookie decorating became my creative outlet during the throes of the pandemic in May of 2020. As an elementary media specialist (librarian), and with schools closed to in-person learning, I searched for something to keep my brain and creativity growing. After a live-streaming cookie decorating class, my hobby of desperation exploded into a side-hustle! Chickadee's Home Bakeshop is now a small business that provides custom decorated sugar cookies for any occasion (or no occasion at all). Expansion of my business has encompassed corporate/logo cookies, cookie decorating classes, and private workshops.

My grandpa always called me his "little chickadee" when I was a tiny thing, one of my earliest memories. So, a sweet little name for my sweet little treats seemed fitting.
