About Me

I'm a twenty something marketing professional who started baking cookies in my tiny studio apartment in Cambridge, MA as a way to keep myself busy while living alone.  Now seven years, several apartments, and a marriage later I still enjoy the challenge, joy and overall magic of baking.

I created this blog as a way to keep track of my ever increasing baking endeavors, and it has now become a great way for friends and family to keep track of me!

In my third year of blogging, I've started taking on for-hire projects from friends and acquaintances.  I bake custom cookies and cookie platters catered to private events and parties, working with each person to design the perfect treat!  I've done high school reunions, baby showers, weddings and most recently promotional cookies for an educational textbook publisher.  The sky is the limit!

If you are interested in developing a custom cookie for your event, or if you'd like a platter created as a gift or party display, please email me at shanthecookiemonster@gmail.com

Happy Baking!
