About the Baker

Hi there — I’m Madison!

I’m a mom of two, a true-crime enthusiast by day, writer by night, and a creative baker by heart. My love for baking started when I was little, spending time in the kitchen with my grandma. Those afternoons filled with flour, laughter, and way too many sprinkles are some of my favorite memories, and they sparked a lifelong dream of having my own bakery someday.

Growing up, I was obsessed with baking shows like Cake Boss and Cupcake Wars, watching every swirl of frosting and fondant flower like it was magic. Fast forward to August 2021, when I made my very first set of decorated cookies for my baby shower. I had no idea what I was doing, but the love and joy I poured into them resonated. Everyone encouraged me to start selling them!

So, I dove in head-first teaching myself everything I could through TikTok videos, late-night practice sessions, and lots (and lots) of trial and error. Along the way, I even connected with several amazing “viral” bakers who were kind enough to share their tips, advice, and encouragement, helping me perfect my craft and find my own decorating style.

By December of that same year, I launched my first official cookie sale for Christmas, and Cookie & Crumb Bakery was born.


A Little About My Cookies

Every cookie that leaves my kitchen is made from scratch, designed with care, and decorated completely by hand. I don’t use an edible printer — every line, letter, and floral detail is hand-piped. For specialty shapes, I even hand-cut each one! Most of the cookie cutters I own are simple ones: circles, squares, and scalloped rounds, because I love the creative challenge of crafting something unique for every customer.

While I love creating cookies for all kinds of celebrations, I have a special place in my heart for bridal showers, bachelorettes, and weddings. There’s just something magical about the details that go into those sets — soft florals, shimmery accents, and personalized touches that bring a little sparkle to someone’s big day.


From My Kitchen to Yours

Baking has become more than just a business for me! It’s a creative outlet, a late-night passion project, and sometimes even a form of therapy. Every cookie I make feels like a little reflection of who I am — a mix of artistry, patience, and a lot of heart. But beyond the flour and icing, there’s a whole lot more that goes into Cookie & Crumb and the person behind it all.


Behind the Apron

If I’m not in the kitchen covered in flour and icing, you’ll probably find me with an iced coffee in hand, a true-crime podcast playing, and two little ones keeping me on my toes. Life is busy, but creativity is what keeps me grounded — whether it’s baking, writing, or dreaming up new designs.

Here are a few things that make me, me:

✨ Favorite cookie to decorate:
Anything with florals or shimmer! There’s something so satisfying about those tiny, detailed designs.

☕ Favorite way to spend downtime:
Listening to true-crime podcasts or music while working on something artsy, like diamond paintings or crochet projects (usually late at night when the house is quiet).

🎧 Dream collab:
Designing cookie sets inspired by Yungblud, Tyler Childers, and Black Veil Brides — three artists who couldn’t be more different, but each full of passion, emotion, and storytelling.

🌸 When I’m not baking:
You can usually find me doing things I love, like my writing job, spending time with my family, and travelling!

🌙 Fun fact:
My “creative zone” usually hits around 9 PM once the kids are asleep, the headphones are on, and it’s just me, a piping bag, and a quiet kitchen. That’s when the cookie magic really happens.


Cookie & Crumb is more than just cookies — it’s a creative outlet, a connection to my childhood, and a way to share a little sweetness with others. I believe that every cookie should tell a story, and I’m so grateful to be part of so many of life’s special moments.

Thank you for being here — it truly means the world to me. Take a look at my cookie gallery or submit a custom order request on my homepage— I can’t wait to bake something beautiful for you! 🍪
