When Kelly Jacobs first mixed up a batch of cookies, she had no idea she was about to whip up a brand new career. What started as a hobby quickly grew into a full-fledged passion for cookie art. They\u2019re almost too stunning to eat. But trust us, you\u2019ll want to.<\/p>\n

Today, Kelly Jacobs is the go-to cookie queen for every occasion imaginable. Her royal icing creations are nothing short of edible masterpieces \u2026 each cookie a tiny canvas. Kelly\u2019s always had a thing for cooking and baking (total foodie alert), but it wasn\u2019t until she became a mom that her passion for decorated cookies really took off. In the back of her mind, she knew she wanted to be the kind of mom who makes the prettiest, Pinterest-worthy cookies for her little ones.<\/p>\n

Even when she used to be a preschool teacher, she\u2019d always notice the edible works of art her students would bring in for birthdays. Intrigued, Kelly and her mother-in-law decided to try their hand at decorating some for Easter three years ago. They signed up for a workshop. Little did Kelly know she was about to discover her true calling. That day she fell hook, line and sinker for the world of pretty cookies. A couple of days, a sprinkle of practice, and one Facebook page later, Pretty Baked Cookie Creations<\/a> was born.<\/p>\n

At first, Kelly had no plans to start a business \u2026 just sharing her work on Facebook for the sake of sharing. But, as these things often do, it snowballed. Within four months, she was making more from her cookies than from her teaching job.<\/p>\n

So she took the leap, traded in her teacher\u2019s board for a baker\u2019s apron, and hasn\u2019t looked back since. What started as a fun hobby for friends and family quickly spiralled into something much bigger \u2026 like, \u2018I need a bigger oven\u2019 bigger.<\/p>\n

\u2018To be honest, I never considered this as a career path. Even though I\u2019ve always been the creative and DIY type, I\u2019ve always gone with the safe, most practical option. So, I studied law after school, then spent eight years as a preschool teacher. But fate had other plans for me \u2026 a pretty delicious fate if you ask me.\u2019<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Fast forward a few years, and Pretty Baked Cookie Creations grew into a full-on family affair. Business boomed so quickly that her husband Greg hung up his own work boots to join Kelly in the kitchen as head baker. Now, she can focus on what she loves most \u2026 perfecting the art of the cookie, while spending more time with Greg and their two little girls, five-year-old Alexia and one-year-old Novaleigh. Talk about sweet!<\/p>\n

In fact, her motto is \u2018Make the world a better place one cookie at a time.\u2019 And she\u2019s doing just that, with hundreds of meticulously crafted cookies leaving her kitchen each week.
\n\u2018Don\u2019t think our creations are just about looks \u2026 I also like to think we\u2019ve got a knack for balancing beauty with budget. I love making sure that customers\u2019 events are extra special without them having to break the bank.<\/p>\n

\u2018For me, baking definitely displays a level of care, consideration and appreciation for the person being baked for. And, because I\u2019m a person who enjoys gift- giving and acts of service, it\u2019s safe to assume that baking is my love language. Nothing makes me happier than good feedback from clients and hearing how much their guests raved about the cookies.\u2019<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For Kelly, the must-have qualities of any good baker are patience, practice and persistence. Because nobody becomes a cookie master overnight. But, (lucky for us) she\u2019s not stopping at cookies. She\u2019s got dreams of adding other sweet treats like cakes and macarons to her repertoire, and maybe even hosting online tutorials for other cookie enthusiasts. For now, though, her bespoke iced biscuits and occasional royal icing workshops are the talk of the town.<\/p>\n

Many would argue you\u2019re not a full-fledged baker if you haven\u2019t got some kind of unique baking ritual. Well, we\u2019ve heard a little birdie say that Kelly\u2019s creative process wouldn\u2019t be complete without a dose of true crime. That\u2019s right \u2026 she decorates her cookies while listening to podcasts about solving mysteries. And when she\u2019s not in private eye mode, she\u2019s diving into the magical audiobook world of Harry Potter.<\/p>\n

When she\u2019s not in the kitchen, Kelly\u2019s all about family time. She\u2019s got a wild sense of humour and loves nothing more than spending the day exploring new places with her kids or cracking jokes with Greg. Balancing motherhood, entrepreneurship, and life isn\u2019t always easy, Kelly admits, but she\u2019s finding her rhythm. And when she needs to recharge, you\u2019ll find her building puzzles, getting lost in diamond dot art, or soaking in a much-deserved long bath.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For Kelly it\u2019s simple. Be your authentic self and don\u2019t sweat what others think. Your tribe is out there, just waiting to find you. And in the meantime, just do what you love to do. In Kelly\u2019s case \u2026 spreading joy one beautifully decorated cookie at a time.<\/p>\n
