What a Crazy & Sweet Year It's Been!

From a little idea to something bigger than we ever imagined!

If you had told us a year ago that we'd be here today, launching our very own cookie business, we probably would have laughed and asked if you wanted a cookie!

But here we are!

This past year has been nothing short of CRAZY & SWEET, and we couldn't think of a better way to kick off our very first blog post than by sharing a little bit of the journey that brought us here.

What started as a simple fundraiser for our local church's children's program quickly turned into something we never expected. Baking batch after batch in our church kitchen, we watched as our cookies became a local favorite. Before we knew it, people were asking when we'd be baking again, requesting their favorite flavors, and telling us we needed to turn this little baking adventure into a real business.

And eventually, we thought... why not?

Of course, turning a hobby into a business isn't quite as simple as throwing some cookie dough in the oven!

There have been countless hours of recipe testing, flavor experiments, late-night baking sessions, paperwork, packaging decisions, and probably more taste tests than we'd like to admit. Some batches came out absolutely perfect, while others... well, let's just say those didn't make the menu!

We've learned that building a business takes patience, determination, a whole lot of trial and error, and sometimes a little bit of craziness.

But every single step has been worth it.

From Our Kitchen to Sacramento International Airport! ✈️

One of the biggest and most exciting moments of this journey has been getting our cookies into Local Flights at Sacramento International Airport!

We want to give a very special thank-you to Edwin Balli, owner of Local Flights, for giving our little cookie business such an incredible opportunity.

Having someone believe in what we're creating and give us a chance to share our cookies with travelers coming through Sacramento International Airport means more to us than we can put into words.

What started with two people baking cookies for a church fundraiser has now turned into cookies being offered at an international airport. That's still a little surreal for us!

And to think, this is only the beginning.

A Little Crazy, a Whole Lot of Sweet

If there's one thing we've learned throughout this journey, it's that not every cookie comes out looking exactly the same.

Some are a little bigger, some have a little more personality, and occasionally one decides it wants to look completely different from the rest.

But that's part of what makes Crazy & Sweet special!

We're not a giant factory producing thousands of identical cookies. We're a small business that believes in baking in small batches, using quality ingredients, and making sure every cookie gets the attention it deserves.

And yes, sometimes that means baking well past midnight!

We chose the name Crazy & Sweet by playing around with our names: Chloe bringing the C and Samantha bringing the S. Somewhere along the way, C&S became Crazy & Sweet, and honestly, we couldn't have picked a name that describes this adventure any better.

Here's to What's Next! 💕

As we officially launch Crazy & Sweet, we want to take a moment to thank everyone who has supported us along the way.

To everyone who purchased cookies at our church fundraisers, encouraged us to keep baking, tried our experimental flavors, shared our name with friends, or simply told us we could do this — thank you!

We're still learning. We're still experimenting. And we're definitely still making a mess in the kitchen.

But we're also dreaming bigger than ever.

We have new flavors to try, exciting opportunities ahead, and so many ideas that we can't wait to share with you.

So whether you've been here since our very first batch or you're just discovering us for the first time, welcome to the Crazy & Sweet family!

Here's to more cookies, more late-night baking, more adventures, and whatever craziness comes next!

With love, flour-covered counters, and a whole lot of sugar,

Samantha & Chloe
Crazy & Sweet 

Where our cookies don't crumble!
