Our Story

I never thought I would be designing and selling cookies as a job, but now I can't imagine doing anything else. I have a background in design having graduated from the Interior Design program at Sheridan College and working at an architecture firm designing houses for nearly 10 years! I have also always loved baking. I grew up always baking with my Mom who is an amazing baker (and cook, but that's a gene I didn't receive). My love of baking began as early as I can remember and my love of sugar cookies started at the first Christmas we made colourful, icing covered trees and Santas. A yearly obsession that probably helped with my insane love of Christmas, but that's a whole other story. Sugar cookies tie my love of design and my love of baking together in the perfect match.

For years I only made sugar cookies at Christmas and although they were always delicious they really weren't that pretty. Then I discovered this whole new world of icing cookies with icing bags instead of trying to spread the icing with a knife and I was obsessed. I spent hours watching videos, reading recipes and learning techniques. I dove right in that Christmas and was hooked. From there I started making cookies for friends and family, but never thought of selling them. Then I started searching for inspiration, looking for more tips and tricks and realized just how large and amazing the cookie community was. I realized I could turn my passion into a successful business like so many other amazing cookiers.

In January of 2019 I started my Instagram page for Samantha's Sweet House. Over the next few months I started to promote myself and look into what I needed to successfully launch my business. In June of 2019 Samantha's Sweet House was registered as an official business. The rest, as they say, is history!
