So last week I made a couple dozen Halloween cookies and packaged them individually to get some orders in for the holidays. I know a bunch of people at our local Starbucks who passed them around for me, the bank, etc.

Well, I took some to a local home-baked market and they LOVED them. I just finished another 9 dozen cookies to give out more samples today. Just when I was packaging them up I got a call from the market, they want to order cookies to sell in their store! Turns out they gave some of my samples to their customers and every wants more. I told the women I just finished about 100 cookies and she wants them ALL!

I'm so happy you have no idea. Especially since I just started doing cookies in March.

The market also wants to sell some of my cupcakes and cookies through Christmas. I'm so excited I just had to share the news.

I hope you have set a good price on them

OH! And Congratulations!

CONGRATS!!!! Way to go

Congrats-how exciting for you!!

That is wonderful! Happy baking.

Congratulations!! That's exciting!

yeah! congrat's! Would love to see pic's.

Thanks everyone!

When I dropped the cookies off today, the women told me to hurry and get back to baking....the cookies will be gone by the weekend. Oh lordy, what have I gotten myself into? lol

I'm charging $2 a cookie as a starting rate, more for the larger ones. Do you think that's too low?

Pictures coming soon I promise. Hopefully by the weekend. I've been in the kitchen baking up a storm today for the market and more samples. Already got 15 dozen done...just have to ice them now.

That's brilliant news, congratulations. You're going to be sooooooooooo busy!

congrats and well done

YAHOOOOO !!! What a deal you have going....... CONGRATS !!

That is so awesome. Your hard work is paying off.

I have been busy baking for donation and samples also. I hope to be in your shoes (busy, busy!) soon!!!

Good luck and have fun!

Thanks!

I just got my photos back tonight, I posted them all in the "Cookies!" gallery, but here are a few.

I'd love to know your honest opinions.

Oh, and the cookies I brought in yesterday...there are only 15 left! Yikes...I know what I'm doing this weekend.

The cookies look great!! Congratulations!! I just saved them to my favs.

Congrats! You should be proud, your work is excellent!

I love 'em! I especially like the Bride of Frankenstein. How big are they?

These are great! Good job and good luck!

Holy moly! Those look so nice! I'm so impressed!!!!

Great job!

Aww, thank you all so very much! I open my email to such nice comments, I've had this happy attitude all week. I love it! lol

All of the Frankenstein cookies are about 4 1/2". It's Wilton's Monster Head Comfort Grip cutter.

Fantastic for you...$2.00 is fair as any higher and people tend to shy away as they find them "Too" expensive.I have seen the Disnay cookies ahere at our c=grocery store which of course are not handmade and are computer decorated and they sell for $1.49 so you are there.Charge a bit more for the larger ones!!! I wish we had small markets here to sell at but in the big city everyone is so Darn scared to buy anything 'Homemade" due to allergy reactions etc....you just can't sell anywhere.

Your cookies are awsome. Congrats!

I love the cookies! The little candy corn one is great! Great faces on them all! Congrats on your newfound stardom!!

WOW! They are all so fantastic! Congratulations, you deserved all of your crazy business. Watch out, here comes Thanksgiving...

All it takes is the right person to taste your product! You are a success story waitong to happen! You better put your seatbelt on and get ready for the ride! CONGRATS!
