Who doesn't love a delicious cookie? Better yet, multiple cookies that spell out a personal message!   

Sweet messages that make you smile...

From the moment I met Holly Noah, founder of Eat Your Words Custom Cookies, and saw her unique cookie messages I knew this was something I wanted to share with the world (or at least my world 😉)! 

Here I was... at an event with over 300 women in search of personal growth, networking, and friendship and I meet this woman who brought cookies spelling out "Girl Power" and "Strong Girls Rule". How could I not be excited about that??  (Did I mention these cookie messages were presented in a beautiful "Tiffany Blue" box? ❤️)

 

 

The really cool thing about these message cookies is that you can say anything you want! 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

GET WELL

TAKE A HIKE (ok, maybe you don't send that message in a cookie box 😳)

CONGRATS

THANK YOU

YOU ROCK!

GOOD LUCK

STAY STRONG...

The Woman Who Lives for and Creates Sweet Moments

I don't know about you, but I like learning the nitty gritty about women that inspire me. So I invited Holly to lunch - I wanted to dig a little deeper into the hows and whys of her business (see below)...and then I had the opportunity to visit her brand new production facility. (Would you believe that up until a few weeks ago, she was cooking everything in her own home kitchen?!?)

**Don't you feel like you are on the inside? Just knowing of a business that is going to be a household name one day - and you can say "oh yeah...I started sending sweet cookie messages when she was just a small business" 😉

The Nitty Gritty

AF: What inspired the idea for EAT YOUR WORDS CUSTOM COOKIES?

HN: My great-grandmother started a bakery in Pittsburgh back in 1916 and grew it to 13 locations around the city. She successfully ran the business for nearly 70 years, so I guess you could say that baking was in my blood.

In 1996 a friend gave me some alphabet cookie cutters (because her daughter no longer wanted them). I used them for fun but had no idea I would be running a business with those cookie cutters. (Although I have to admit, I scribbled out a business plan back in 1998 and tucked it away - forgetting about it until nearly 20 years later)

AF: Did you have a business background?

HN: I spent 20 years in marketing roles in corporate America before I made the big leap to become an entrepreneur. 

AF: What made you decide to make that bold move?

HN: As a single mom I've spent most of my life working long hours for other people.  All along I was baking cookies for my friends and family, simply because I loved doing it. And, everyone told me they were delicious cookies! 

It wasn't until a group of friends from my Key Women's Forum strongly encouraged me to take a chance, that I went digging for the business plan that had been tucked away and forgotten.

AF: Who does your website and marketing?

HN: I do it all. I built my website, I do all my social media and advertising. I have had some help with production and packaging during the extremely busy times, but for the most part, I am a one-woman show. 

*Note - at the time I'm writing this, Holly is acquiring additional staff to help with her expanding business 🤗
