Sugar On The Shelf- Home Bakery

How adorable are these cupcakes?!

These vanilla cupcakes with a classic vanilla buttercream got the prettiest vintage makeover! The beautiful Tiffany-blue styled bows made out of chocolate were the perfect finishing touch!

I had the pleasure of making these beauties for the sweetest event hosted by Charm & Grit, a woman owned small business that’s helps women create stress free DIY makeovers, from painted furniture and thrifted decor to beautifully styled rooms!

She hosted a vintage mystery box night, and it was a HUGE hit! I absolute love anything mystery-related (if you know me, you know!) so you can bet I’ll be making it to her next mystery box night!

Be sure to give Charm & Grit a follow and keep an eye out for her next She Shed event. You won’t want to miss it!

And a BIG thank you for letting Sugar On The Shelf be a little part of such a fun and fabulous evening! 🧁🎀

💕 HI, IT’S ME 💕

Lately I’ve had quite a few new faces join me here, so I thought it was time to reintroduce myself! If you’re new here, welcome! And if you’ve been here for a while… hi again!

My name is Nikole, I’m 38 years old, a mom to two girls, and I’m the heart and soul behind Sugar on the Shelf. 🩷🍪

What started as baking cakes and cookies for fun for my family and friends eventually turned into the crazy idea of, “Hmmmm… maybe I could share my baked goods with the people around me!” And somehow, here we are!

So, since you’re here, I thought I’d share a few things about me that have absolutely nothing to do with cookies… well, mostly. 😉

✝️ I love Jesus with my whole heart. Without Him, none of this would be possible. Sugar on the Shelf is not only woman-owned, but it is also faith-based, and that is a non-negotiable for me. My faith is at the heart of everything I do.

🍎 I LOVE FALL. It is hands down my favorite season. BUT… fall means apple everything. Pumpkin? Absolutely not and yes, I know I bake pumpkin goodies. That’s just me being nice to all my pumpkin-loving people. You’re welcome. 😂

📚 I LOVE TO READ. I don’t have nearly as much time for it these days, but when I do get the chance, I’m probably curled up with a book. My favorite book of all time is A Court of Thorns and Roses, so if I suddenly disappear toward the end of October… I’m fine. I’m just reading the newly released book 6. 📖

🦶 I HATE having my ankles touched.
I don’t know why. I don’t know where this came from. I just know it feels SO weird and honestly should probably be illegal.

❄️ I DESPISE WINTER.
Snow should be nonexistent… EXCEPT on Christmas morning. That is the one and only exception I will allow.

📺 My comfort shows include Gilmore Girls, The Office, and Judge Judy.
And don’t judge me for Judge Judy. SHE GIVES GOOD ADVICE. 😂

🍪 My favorite baked good?
A warm, gooey chocolate chip cookie straight out of the oven with a COLD glass of milk. There is absolutely nothing better. I will not be taking questions at this time. 🥛

But one of my absolute favorite things about this little business is YOU. ❤️

I genuinely love meeting every single one of my customers. Hearing that you loved something I baked, seeing you come back for another cookie, watching you take a chance on one of my crazy creations, and hearing about your experience with my Blind Date with a Cookie concept means more to me than you probably realize.

So if you see me at an event, PLEASE stop by and say hi! I would love to meet you. 🥰

And now I want to get to know YOU!

👇 Drop a comment and tell me something about yourself!
Maybe tell me your favorite season, your favorite show, something weird you hate 😂, OR most importantly…

🍪 WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE BAKED GOOD?!

Thank you for being here. Thank you for following along. Thank you for shopping local, sharing my posts, telling your friends about me, coming to the markets, trying my cookies, and supporting this crazy little dream of mine.

Every single purchase, comment, share, recommendation, and kind word means my little business gets to keep growing.

And for that, I am forever grateful and humbled. ❤️

Sugar on the Shelf would be nothing without all of you.

And trust me… there is SO much more coming out of this kitchen. Especially when it comes to those crazy Blind Date with a Cookie creations. 👀🍪💘

So stay tuned, keep supporting local, and thank you again for being here.

Now tell me… WHO ARE YOU?! 👇💕
