She said her grandmother made cookies with a cookie press and a few Christmas cookie cutters that she still has today.
“Though we use our own recipe in our bakery, it still brings back sweet memories,” Hill said.
Besides D. Sweets’ decorated holiday cookies, other treats include hot cocoa cookies, cupcakes, rice crispy treats, blondies and brownies with holiday flavors such as peppermint mocha and sugar cookie dough and more.
Hill said her favorite part of owning the bakery is the excitement of filling large orders for company parties and for those that have D. Sweets as part of their family’s tradition.
“It’s fun to experience the buzz of a busy shop as people come in,” Hill said. “We love baking for so many special occasions! To be apart of so many of life’s celebrations makes it all worth while.”
