About me
First off, thank you for visiting my site! I’m Corianne, and I’m a Cookie Artist in Chestermere, AB Canada. I’m completely self taught and have been making cookies since March 2017. First and foremost though, I’m a wife and mom of two young boys.
My first set of royal icing cookies came about as a class treat for my son who was in preschool at the time - bless those little ones who loved my dinosaur cookies. I had no idea going into it about royal icing, consistencies and all of the little tricks and techniques for working with it. Instead of moving along after like any normal person would, I made it my mission to perfect it. I read everything I could online and watched a ton of videos by many who I’ve gotten to know now and consider great friends. I made cookies for my friends & family - birthdays, baby showers, thank you cookies for my friends dad who had to come and dismantle our toilet when my kids flushed a plastic container down it. You know, the usual stuff.
Eventually I was getting asked about orders and events, and it naturally turned into a small business - something I had NEVER planned. With a little creativity and a lot of hard work, I was not only able to grow my core cookie business, but also started teaching classes and blogging so that I could share all of my tips and tricks for beginners starting out just like I had not too long before.
Early 2019 I decided to take a chance and jump into the retail side of things. I was always getting questions about products I use, as well as a lot of "influencer" offers as my social media grew. I wanted to take the opportunity to grow another potential side of my business, but in the right way. Many have come to my Instagram, blog and videos tutorials as a trusted resource for their own hobby or business, and I didnt want to take advatage of that. So long story short - Cookie Couture was born! I know first hand what to look for with tools and supplies, and strive to source them at the best quality and price for my customers. I don’t sell anything that I don’t use myself, and create my tutorials now to showcase what I offer so you can see the potential in each product. You can find a wealth of information and demonstrations for the products that I carry on my Instagram page - @coriannes_custom_cookies.
The support and encouragement I’ve received since starting all of this, and making big transitions along the way means so much! I look forward to all that’s to come!
