about me

Hi there! I’m Rita Starkey, the face behind the cookie creations. I am a small batch home baker in the Denver/Front Range metropolitan area. I specialize in iced sugar cookies utilizing my secret recipe.


My passion is to provide beautiful cookies, but they must taste good! My love for decorated cookies began in 2019. I am self-taught and constantly learning. My cookies aren’t perfect, but they are made with a lot of love.


I do several pop-ups throughout the year (check back often for dates & location) and I take custom orders. Please be sure to read the FAQ section of the website. I would love to help you with your next cookie order!

INITIAL CONSULTATION

to begin your order, reach out to me by email or fill-out the order form.

I will email you back or we will talk by phone to discuss the details of your order, quantity and the date you need to them by.


Pricing for custom orders depends on color scheme, size of cookies, details on the cookies and quantity. On average, for one dozen-3" Large cookies with 3-4 colors is approximately $30-$40/per dozen. Individual cookies are $4-$6 for large 3" cookies.

creative process

I will get working on your order!

Please keep in mind, most decorated iced sugar cookie orders take 4-5 days to complete from start to finish. Day 1 is baking, Day 2 is decorating, Day 3 details are applied, Day 4 heat sealing, and Day 5 is final packaging and delivery.

your order

please note: I require 50% payment upfront for your order. your order is not guaranteed until i receive the 50% down. the remaining 50% is due the day before your pickup date or delivery. there are no refunds if you have to cancel.

I know this sounds harsh, but once I receive an order I begin ordering supplies and begin working on the project. I am already out the funds. Under some circumstances we might be able to move your date, but there are no guarantees.
