Welcome
We hope you enjoy this little corner of the internet that we've created for our favourite people- you! Thank you for joining the Carousel community! If you'd like to know more about us, take a look at our story below.
Our Story
Where We Began
In the very beginning, we started as a simple cookie stand at our local farmer's market. At the time, I was working as an art instructor and was looking for a small side hustle that would allow me to bring some more creativity and artistic flare into the community. I began creating fun and detailed sugar cookies for an affordable price so the local kids could get a taste of the many ways art can be made. This was the first time I ever really got into baking (excluding the occasional cinnamon bun or chocolate chip cookie at home!) and it was also the very beginning of what would become The Carousel Cookie Co.
What Happened Next
Business was immediately booming as we continued to sell out every weekend at the farmer's market. It became apparent to my husband and I that this side hustle could really become something special. We decided to lean in together to turn our market stall into a real business- and thus The Carousel Cookie Co (originally known as Artful Cookies) was born!
It has not always been an easy road, as our differently-abled family members have spent many hours working while dealing with additional challenges- from decorating cookies in a wheelchair while recovering from surgery to coping with chronic pain or any of the other complications we've faced through the years. Running a small business with a disability takes a lot of work, and for many years Doug and I dedicated ourselves to the business while also working day jobs.
Where We Are Today
Despite the challenges we've faced, we have continued to commit our whole hearts to bringing a little extra creativity into the hands of our community and, in turn, our community has blessed us with the opportunity to become a thriving cookie business! Today, Doug and I are happily able to commit to Carousel full-time and have expanded the team to include our whole family!
Because of people like you, we continue to be able to provide beautiful creations to the community that has supported us since 2014 and to new cookie lovers alike!
Thank you for making our dream possible.
