Hi, I'm Cathy Doner, thanks for stopping by. Until September 2018, I held numerous positions in banking for (lots of) years and loved it. With more time needed for elder family care and finding myself in the midst of a sudden job department realignment, this career banker decided to “take the n out of banker” and listen to what I’d been hearing for years... hey, you should start your own cookie business. I love creating confections that make people happy. My passion is uncontained. Not only do I enjoy baking, but meeting and interacting with all and celebrating life. It’s all about sharing each others’ gifts. In addition to baking, I love music, friends, nature, and being in my church choir. But at the heart of it all is my love for God who gives me strength, joy and compassion.
My home kitchen, where all the magic takes place, is a licensed State of CT Cottage Food Operation, Lic #0000080.
For using Icing Image's I-Design program to create this edible sugar cake topper and candles. Clear isomalt shaded with an orange patterned background with an extra "16" design embedded into the piece. Thank you to all who voted for me.
I was honored to be interviewed by Ericka Johnson of Your Baking Bestie.com to be highlighted in her September 2023 blogpost.
A Somers Elementary School teacher thought cookies would be a fun gift for Author Brad Montague when he was invited to celebrate his book "FAIL-A-BRATION" with her students.
When he returned home to TN, he posted about his journey and spoke kindly of Somers Ele School and gave a little cred to lil ole me too.
