Cookie Hustler Course 101 Enrollment is now Open for a Limited Time Only

​

​

 

Whahoo!!! I'm so excited to announce that my Cookie Hustler Course 101 enrollment is now open for a limited time only🙋🏽‍♀️!! It took me a minute to finally hit the launch button but I'm so glad I am because now I can begin unloading ALL OF THESE classes for this new community that I hope you choose to be a part of😉 .

One of the things I dealt with often in my business was customers who had so much confidence in me because I consistently provided beautiful and delicious cakes, they assumed I could do the same with cookies I mean after all, I had a bakery!! But the truth of the matter is that I didn't start by already knowing how to make cookies much less how to decorate them🤦🏽‍♀️! But the demand was pretty high and well... who doesn't LOVE COOKIES, RIGHT😋 !? I thought to myself, how hard can this be🤷🏽‍♀️? You can learn anything online you just gotta look for it!! Easy, peasy!! So, I got right to it. About a year later, I finally got it... a base recipe that I could test tweak and make my own and LOTS of DAYS and NIGHTS searching for and watching YouTube videos on how to decorate phew🙄!! Looking back now, I think why the heck didn't I invest in my business and find a class from someone I already knew, liked and trusted? It would have saved me money and most importantly, it would have saved so much time and made life so much easier 🤦🏽‍♀️.

So, allow me to have done that for you! I've already invested the money and the time and I want you to capitalize off of it. Weather you want to offer cookies to your existing cake clients or create a side hustle selling cookie gift boxes, DIY boxes or just for the fun of it, you're in the right place🤑.

So let me give you the scoop! In this course, you will receive access to a private Facebook group where I will deliver LIVE training sessions covering A to Z on making these four cookies:

• Naked Sugar Cookie
• Snickerdoodle
• Sprinkles Cookie
• Chocolate Chip Cookie

The Course Topics will be:

1. Welcome Video & Intro.

2. We will review all of the Tools, Supplies and Ingredients that you will need.

3. We will dive into making the Recipe.

4. Making the 4 Cookie flavors.

5. Bonus Session: Make Royal Icing.

6. Bonus Session: Intermediate Royal Icing Decorated Cookies for Fall and Winter.

7. We will discuss various Gift Packaging Options

8. A Pricing pdf guide.

​Open enrollment will be for a limited time only and I don't want you to miss out because this will be the lowest price it will be offered at and I won't launch it again until next year! For more about the course, check out the FAQs here. We're just in time for the cookie season and I can't wait to get started. 🤗

Also, I will be going Live on 10/12/21 for a Skeleton Cookie Class tomorrow at 2pm on Instagram, I hope you can join me then! If not, not to worry, I will save the live😉

We'll Be Back June 13th!

Closing Doors and Opening New Ones

I am certain that I'm not the only business owner who's emotions have gone from zero to 100 mph in 0.2 seconds with uncertainty, then to excitement of doing business in a whole new fresh way, then back to uncertainty then to confusion and then an abrupt halt when $h*t gets real! 🤔😢😜🙌😢🤷‍♀️

This has been my experience since March 14th when I had 15 event orders cancel in 1 weeks time.🤦‍♀️ Most of my close friends know that I've been considering not renewing my lease the end of May because things were not where I wanted them to be and I felt I had taken this business as far as my skills could. But along the way, my heart couldn't come to terms with giving up, so I hired a business coach back in January. Through the pandemic, I had decided that if the business can sustain this struggle then we would come out stronger on the other side, right? 🙌👏 So, i used the downtime to begin re-branding and updating my business plan because this was thought to be temporary closure. I mean why not use this downtime that I would have never other wise get, right!?🤷‍♀️

So, now we're in month of April, working online orders only. Definitely not enough to sustain the business. Thinking about the long term repercussions this pandemic is ALREADY having on businesses in general.🤦‍♀️ Accepting things for what they are. Praying for direction. RENEW MY LEASE or NOT. 👏Now in the month of May pressure is on. Praying for a HARD decision that would give me certainty in my direction is ALL I asked for. I could either make a clean break by scaling back my business or RISK losing my entire business if I'm not able to pivot in a BIG way to save my business.😯 In reality, I knew I would make it to August but beyond that lied lots of uncertainty.

Later I spoke to my business neighbor, Fur Baby Pet Grooming, she was interested in acquiring the space and right then I knew, this is my HARD answer.👀 Do not block someone else's blessing. Her business has prospered during this Pandemic and doing what's best for me is giving her an opportunity to grow her own business.😊 I can't tell you the weight lifted off my shoulders after the conversation with Sheriese. I was overly excited for her and I've never felt better about the decision to scale back my business and reevaluate the direction and potential new location for us. 

So my husband and I decided to not renew this location for the time being. Instead we will be closing Love Sweet Things Bakery physical location and keeping our online store until we can find the right location that suits our needs. I served so many of you all when I first started this business as a home based business and lots of you continued supporting us after opening our bricks and mortar business and I hope that you all continue trusting us to serve you as we shift directions once again. 

I look forward to continuing serving you in a whole new way!

Thank you for your patience as we all work through this together!

Temporarily Closed

How else do i say this other than just say it how it is. My husband and I feel it is in our best interest and those we serve that we temporarily close our bakery until our nation is healthy enough to pickup ourselves up and begin recovering from this horrific loss of family, friends and dignity due to COVID-19. 

Right now, we want to focus on being with our family in good health and in prayer for our FAMILIES, FRIENDS and OUR WORLD that we grow closer together in kindness, love and spirit and when we see our brother or sister down, we lift them up and help carry them to place of peace.

Right now, it may be difficult for us to understand, but the sooner we can accept the things WE CANNOT CHANGE, the sooner we can move forward in WAYS WE CAN CHANGE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

Things you can do to make a difference:

• Stay home.
• Spend time with your family talking.
• Tell you better half, you love them.
• Tell your kids you love them.
• Meditate (IT REALLY DOES WORK!)
• Play games. 
• When you're feeling defeated, depressed, do something nice for SOMEONE. (I promise you, it's to YOUR OWN BENEFIT). 
• When all this is over, remember what it took to get you through this and keep doing it. 
• It's God's way of taking us back to the basics in life. 

 

Our deepest thoughts and prayers are with US ALL. 

In kindness and love, 

Amy Meza

Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn!

Change is the heartbeat of growth. A business that doesn't change is a business that is going to die. We're changing. View full article →
