A Cookie Challenge for the Championship
This must be the week of challenging custom orders. I am beginning to wonder if someone has started a facebook group called ‘Stump the Baker at Flour Box’. Well, Ha Ha! You’re foiled again you mysterious group of people that probably don’t exist! Because I did it…I created a custom...
Next Stop...Project Runway!
I am so happy to report that I survived Valentine’s Day! I baked and decorated more cookies than I had ever before and it was a learning experience. Thankfully Topher stayed by my side to help along the way. He is in charge of bag and box making. The packaging...
Flour Box is Famous!
This is so cool! Flour Box Bakery is featured on www.homegrownhappyvalley.org! Back in December I made tiara cookies for one of the organizer’s daughters. As soon as I launched my site she told me that she wanted to put FBB on her site. What an honor! This is their adorable...

Cat Got Your Tongue?
I get this all this all the time: “I want to order cookies for a friend/spouse/co-worker. Can you write something nice on the gift note?” So, in case you’re planning to order for Valentine’s Day and need a little inspiration for the gift note, here you go… If you’re sending...
Handmade is Best!
The cool thing about Flour Box cookies is that they are handmade. A person pushes the rolling pin. A person individually cuts out each cookie. And a person squeezes the piping bag to create the cookie design. I think that makes the cookies taste even better! Handmade is where it’s...
A Flurry of Activity
The first day of my new site proved to be even more exciting than I ever thought possible. Here are the highlights… First, people are ordering. After all this work, it is so satisfying to have orders coming in. I want people to enjoy looking at the cookie pics. I...
What's in a Name??
When I originally decided to start my business it was focused on candy, and not so much on cookies. I had a dream one night of candy falling from the clouds…which is exactly how I imagine heaven to be. So, I decided to call my business ‘Taste of Heaven’. Some...
