About Nadia
Nadia’s passion for cookies began in 2009 when she moved to the States. She didn’t have friends or a job here, didn’t know the language and wasn’t familiar with local traditions. She didn’t know where to shop.
As she was always fond of creativity, she devoted all her time to her hobbies. She made candy bouquets, greeting cards, and painted dishes. She baked and decorated cakes and cookies. She then opened a Facebook page where she posted a couple of pictures of her cookies.
After waking up in the morning and seeing a lot of comments and personal messages, she decided to buy a few cookie cutters to diversify her original set consisting of a circle, a square and a heart. This is how her difficult journey into the world of cookies began - full of wonderful discoveries and unexpected ideas, disappointments and sleepless nights, thousands of encouraging comments, and new acquaintances.
“And I must say that God miraculously turned all of this into an amazing adventure and gave me abilities that I did not even suspect!”, - Nadia says.
She wants to give some friendly advice to you, the reader: “Never be carried away only with ideas. An idea without practice is useless. Only by constantly practicing will you discover your new creative abilities. You will channel very surprising and creative ideas. Do not let anyone quench this creative energy in you! Confidently and happily follow your dream!”
It all begins with an idea.
However, the secret ingredient is always LOVE.
