Meet Kristin Maller of Scottsdale

Today we’d like to introduce you to Kristin Maller.

Hi Kristin, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I grew up in a family that enjoyed baking, home cooked meals and spending time together as a family in the kitchen. When I had my own children, I wanted to continue that tradition with them, and began sharing my love for baking with them. After making sweet treats for many of their special events and ones for our friends as well, a mutual friend asked if I could make cookies for a shower she was throwing. I was honored that she had asked, and a little nervous about the idea of making treats for someone else’s important event. I said yes to her request, and loved the process of helping her create a special treat to share at her event. From there, I was lucky enough to have a handful of family and friends that were eager to spread the news about The Scottsdale Cookie Lady creating custom cookie orders for all types of events. I have created cookies for charity events, school events, baby showers, bridal showers, bachelorette parties, birthday parties, graduations, corporate events, and many more. My favorite part of this job is connecting with people about something that matters a lot to them and sharing in their energy and excitement as they plan to celebrate meaningful moments in their lives.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Overall I have been blessed with the support of my family, friends, and amazing customers who continue to order from me and spread the word about my business. One obstacle I faced when I first started was with my icing consistency, and the amount of time it took to dry. The lack of drying time was causing issues with the cookies smearing and after some extensive research and trial runs, I was able to switch my icing recipe to one I am much more confident with today. I’ve learned that it is always okay to try new things to figure out what works best for your needs at the time.

Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I make custom sugar cookies in all different designs. I specialize in connecting with my customers to help make their visions for events come to life through themed treats. I am most proud of the vast type of people and businesses I have connected with, and how many events I have had the opportunity to partake in. I believe that I set myself apart from others as customers can control the number of cookies they want to order, the designs they want included, and any other creative detail they can think of. In addition to custom cookies, I have also had the opportunity to teach many cookie decorating classes. This is a fun opportunity for me to share the love of decorating cookies with others!

Where do you see things going in the next 5-10 years?
There always seems to be a new design trend or theme with the various showers and parties, but overall I believe that there will be a need for special treats at events. People love to connect with one another and it is special to me to share a small role in this.
