Hi there!
If you’re new to the site, welcome! And congratulations on your baking/decorating journey. I’m Ashleigh and I’m here to help you every step of the way.
How did I get into baking and dessert decorating?
I started my cookie journey probably like many of you. I’ve always had a passion for creativity. I already enjoyed baking, decorating, crafting and the like. Once I had children, I spent the first couple years of their life ordering cakes/cookie for their birthdays and special occasions (those first years can be BUSY, am I right?). It was when planning the 2nd birthday of my youngest when I found the clarity (and free time) to consider “hey, can I possibly do this myself?” So I did! And never looked back. Dessert decorating morphed from a hobby to a passion to a business over the next 7 years. Now my hope is to share that passion and experience with you.
What does Simpleigh Sweets offer?
Currently, I provide custom and seasonal desserts (Rome, Ga area only) for special occasions, businesses, weddings, and more. In 2022 I started my blog and began hosting in-person cookie decorating classes as well, with the goal of sharing my tips/tutorials and decorating knowledge with others.
Why cookie classes?
Cookie classes provide a very broad spectrum of benefits for a variety of guests. If you’re looking for a fun way to spend the evening with family and friends? Take them to a cookie class! Want to brush up on your decorating skills and really WOW the guests at that baby shower you’re hosting? Take a cookie class! Always had a look for baking, but just can’t quite figure out this cookie decorating stuff? Again, cookie class! Whether your just looking for a fun time, wanting to explore a new outlet for your creativity, or wanting to expand your skill set, cookie decorating classes are sure to be a hit.
What does the future hold for Simpleigh Sweets?
Not local to Rome, Ga, no worries! My goal is to expand our current offerings to include a variety of online cookie classes and digital resources. I’ll continue to host in-person classes and provide desserts for sale locally, but the digital classes and tools will be an outlet for providing instruction and resources to locals and non locals alike. I have big big plans and I hope you’ll be a part of them!
