From Hobby to Thriving Business: The Sweet Journey of a Cookie Enthusiast
Lisa Charlson, the creative mind behind Charlson Cookie Co., is a shining example of how passion and dedication can transform a simple hobby into a flourishing business. What started as a fun activity for her son’s birthday has now grown into a full-fledged enterprise, offering custom decorated cookies and unique 3D printed cookie cutter designs.
The Sweet Beginnings
Lisa’s journey into the world of cookie decorating began in December 2019, when she made her first set of custom cookies for her son’s 3rd birthday party. Inspired by the joy of creating something special, Lisa found herself immersed in the world of cookie decorating videos on Instagram. The more she watched, the more her interest grew, turning a fun pastime into a potential business venture.
“The joy I get from baking and decorating cookies is unparalleled,” Lisa shares. “It started as a fun hobby, but soon enough, I realized I could turn this passion into a business.”
The Entrepreneurial Leap
Taking the plunge into entrepreneurship, Lisa started her custom cookie business, bringing her unique designs and delicious creations to life. Her dedication and creativity quickly caught the attention of cookie enthusiasts and clients alike. Less than a year into her custom cookie business, Lisa expanded her offerings by opening an online cookie cutter shop, providing other bakers with the tools they need to create their own masterpieces.
Charlson Cookie Co. stands out not just for its delectable cookies but also for its innovative 3D printed cookie cutter designs. Lisa’s attention to detail and commitment to quality have made her products a favorite among cookie decorators.
A Mission Rooted in Passion
At the heart of Charlson Cookie Co. is Lisa’s love for baking and the cookie community. Her mission is to bring joy to others through her creations, whether it’s a beautifully decorated cookie set or a fun and functional cookie cutter design.
“I love creating custom cookie sets and fun cutter designs for others to decorate,” Lisa says. “It brings me so much joy to see other cookiers using my designs and creating their own beautiful cookies.”
Balancing Business and Motherhood
Running a full-time small business from home while being a mom to two wonderful kids is no small feat, but Lisa manages to balance it all with grace and determination. Her ability to juggle the demands of business and family life is a testament to her strong work ethic and passion for what she does.
Favorite Mama Life Hack
For all the busy moms out there, Lisa shares her favorite life hack: grocery curbside pickup. “Order the night before and pick up the next day. It saves so much time and energy from dealing with the kiddos in a grocery store,” she advises.
