Description
Ashlee, the founder of Sweet Dough Cookie Co., shared her inspiring journey from a self-taught baker to a successful cookie decorator on the "Sugar Coated Dreams" podcast. She started baking cakes at just 13, but it was a request to make cookies for a bachelorette party that ignited her cookie decorating passion. Despite early mistakes, Ashlee's talent flourished, and she soon found herself making cookies for college students in Washington. Eventually, she transitioned to cookies full-time and opened her own brick-and-mortar shop.
Her story resonates with the idea that passion can strike at any age, and her journey from a tiny apartment kitchen to a thriving business is a testament to her determination. Ashlee also discusses her experience on the Food Network's Christmas Cookie Challenge, where she won not once but twice, showcasing her competitive spirit and creative cookie decorating style. She also shares her love for teaching cookie decorating classes, emphasizing that you don't need to be a "perfect" decorator to teach – just a good understanding of the basics. Her philosophy is that classes are about having fun, learning a new skill, and enjoying quality time with friends or loved ones.
Ashlee's story is a testament to following your passion, taking risks, and never giving up on your dreams.
