About Mixing Bowl Cookie Co
š Welcome to theĀ Mixing Bowl Cookie Co, youāre go-to Woodbridge area sweets and treats maker and baker! From made-to-order soft and delicious custom cookies to poptastic cake on a stick (aka cake pops), my goal is to make your next event just a little bit sweeter (sugar pun totally intended).
I canāt wait to get to know ya, so, in the meantime, hereās a little bit about me!Ā
š Who I Am!
Well, hey there! Iām Corrie and the baker behind Mixing Bowl Cookie Co. Iāve been bakinā professionally since 2017 and am a self-proclaimed Lake Ridge Lady and a Woodbridge-area foodie with a love for everything that Prince William County, Virginia, has to offer.
š® My husband is a Prince William County police officer (heās big, bald, and beautiful) and my number one taste tester. If he doesnāt like it, it goes back to the kitchen table to be reworked and remixed.
My son is now a teen and gettinā ready to drive (prayers appreciated), and Iām the teacher (more prayers also appreciated)! Heās a rising high-schooler with a love for everything and anything cats. š±
Iād be remiss not to mention my dog, š¶ Sweet Baby Ray, or Ray (for short). He is the guardian of the bed, the protector of sleep, and the snorer of all snorers. You may meet him face-to-face on pick-up day, so I had to give him a little intro here! Heās a bag of wiggles, and the only thing heās ever harmed is my beauty sleep (this baker needs all she can get).
šŗļø We have lived in the Woodbridge area for the last 6 years, but I was born and raised in Northern Virginia! From Sterling to Leesburg and just about every county in between, I know the traffic and the backroads, so I can help you navigate to your cookie destination no matter where you order from.
š Where You Can Fine Me.
I am located in Lake Ridge, Virginia (an unincorporated area of Woodbridge), thatās closer to Lorton and Route 123. Iāve been bakinā from my cottage home kitchen since 2017.
š That means, everything is made to order, and youāll be stopping by my ācribā to pick up any orders you place! Since I donāt own a storefront, youāll find that everything I bake is made-to-order specifically for your event. ā You canĀ place an order online on my website and use the calendar to book your special date, and Iāll do the rest! Once you place an order and weāve confirmed the details, Iāll send you my home address so you can easily find it for your order pick-up day!
š What I Bake.
Iām most known for my custom-decorated vanilla bean-based sugar cookies with the fun designs and bright colors, but I can bake more than just sugar cookies!
š¦š©šØš§š„šŖ One of my favorite sweet snacks to eat myself is macarons (not the coconut macaroons that they are often confused for).Ā Macarons are a sandwich cookie with fun colors and different fillings (lemon curd is always going to be my favorite). āļø These sandwich cookies are a melt-in-your-mouth experience that goes great with a cup of your favorite coffee or tea. I tend to like to taste my calories, so my macarons will be on the sweeter side with American buttercreams and sweet fillings!
šŖ Custom sugar cookiesĀ are my favorite things to make because the designs and colors are endless! From matching a cookie to a wedding invitation to makinā cookies with your kiddoās names on them- the creativity is so much fun for me. My decorating style has been called āclean and neat,ā and I canāt argue with that. You wonāt find me hand-painting or super ornate details, but Iāll make sure you get your order with clean lines, bright colors, and a neat presentation.
š” Cake popsĀ are a fun way to eat cake without all the plates and napkins. Kids love to snag a stick and eat a ball of cake coated in chocolate! From custom primary colors to fun sanding sugar, these are a great addition to any party. My cake pops are offered as 1 ounce circles with a primary color and matching sanding sugar as a coating. The sanding sugar gives it the perfect crunch, so every bite is better than the last.
š When should you place your order?
Placing an order sooner rather than later will guarantee you a spot on my calendar. ā° Iāve been bakinā for a looooong time now, so my existing clients can book out my calendar by a few months during busy seasons like Halloween and Christmas! Slower times in the cookie world are during the summer months because folks are traveling and we donāt have as many big holidays, but come back-to-school in August, Iād suggest getting on my books ASAP.
š You can always check my calendar availability onĀ my order form. If the date is grayed out, that means I am booked solid for that week. If your date is clickable, go ahead and choose it, and letās bake something sweet together!
š Why I do this!
I bake because I love being a part of your allās biggest days. ā¤ļø From childbirth to sending them off to college with a graduation party, my customers have truly become my family. I love every single time I see your names pop up on social media between orders, and my heart sings every time I get an order inquiry from you all.
šŖ Nothing warms my heart than celebrating a baby announcement and then getting another order a year later because theyāve turned the big ā1ā. My heart is overjoyed when I get to celebrate a grandparentās next big year with them and bake their favorite things into a cookie.
If it wasnāt for folks like you all, I donāt think Iād still be baking! You guys are the ones who keep me cominā back to the kitchen and turning on the oven, and I couldnāt thank you all enough for allowing me to play such a sweet role in your life.
