About The Mad Cookie Jar

🍪 Meet Your Head Cookie Artist!

Hi there! I'm Ashley Pinkerton, the owner, baker, decorator, and chief cookie visionary behind The Mad Cookie Jar.

If you're looking for perfectly ordinary cookies, you've come to the wrong place! I specialize in turning your wildest, sweetest ideas into stunning, edible art. My kitchen is where imagination meets butter and sugar, resulting in custom cookies that are a little bit magical, a lot delicious, and guaranteed to make your next event unforgettable.

 

🎩 How The Madness Began 

 

Like many great stories, The Mad Cookie Jar started with a simple obsession and a messy kitchen.

  • The Spark: It all began when I wanted cookies for my daughters 3rd birthday party. I thought to myself it can't be that hard to do. Several hours and many moments of frustration sparked the bug.

  • The Addiction: After hours of experimenting with royal icing, new cutters, and a growing collection of food color gels, I was hooked. The meticulous process of cookie decorating quickly became my creative happy place—my escape from the everyday.

  • The Launch: With the encouragement of friends and family who couldn't get enough of my sweet creations, I decided to open The Mad Cookie Jar to share my passion for custom-made, uniquely designed cookies with all of you.

 

✨ What Makes Our Cookies "Mad"?

 

Every cookie from The Mad Cookie Jar is more than just a sweet treat—it's a tiny, handcrafted piece of joy.

  • The Taste: These cookies are soft and delicious. No matter the flavor they will satisfy your sweet tooth. Taste is just as important as aesthetics!

  • Custom Creativity: I truly love a challenge! I live for the moment I can say, "Yes, we can cookie-fy that!"

  • Handmade: No two cookies will ever look the exact same. All cookies are custom made and decorated by me.

 

💖 More Than Just a Baker

 

When I'm not elbow-deep in flour and icing, you can find me loving my job as a special education teacher, chasing after my own two little ones, bugging my husband to do something else in kitchen for the cookies, or making sure my two dogs don't eat them. I believe that a little bit of playfulness and passion fuels creativity, and that energy goes right into every cookie I make!

Thank you for choosing to support a small, home-based business. I can't wait to cook up some custom craziness for your next celebration!
