Why I started helping cookie businesses

How I Helped My Fiancée Get Booked Out—And Why I Started Helping Cookie Bakers Do the Same

July 07, 20252 min read

If you run a custom cookie or baking business from home, you probably know the struggle:
You're talented. Your treats are amazing. But getting consistent orders? That’s a whole different challenge.

I saw this firsthand—right in my own home.


👩‍🍳 My Fiancée Was Baking Incredible Cookies… But No One Could Find Her

My fiancée started her sugar cookie business with nothing but talent, passion, and a rolling pin. Her designs were next-level, and everyone who ordered from her raved about her cookies.

But she wasn’t getting many orders.

She tried posting on Instagram. She asked for referrals. She joined Facebook groups. And while she got a few orders here and there, it wasn’t consistent.

She was spending more time trying to “do marketing” than actually baking.


💡 So I Built Her a Simple Website & Google Business Profile

I’m not a professional agency guy. But I’ve always been comfortable with tech. So I set up:

  • A simple website to showcase her cookies

  • A Google Business Profile so she showed up when people searched “custom cookies near me”

  • Basic tools to automate follow-ups when someone messaged her or filled out her form

It didn’t take long to see results.

Within a few weeks, she was showing up in search. Local moms, event planners, and small businesses started finding her.

Within two months, she was booked out.


🧠 That’s When I Realized: Most Cookie Bakers Don’t Have These Tools

I started looking around at other local bakers. Almost none had a working website. Some didn’t even show up on Google. Most were trying to run their business entirely through Instagram DMs and stories.

No wonder it was so hard for them to grow.

I realized: if a few simple tools helped my fiancée go from invisible to fully booked, this could help so many other baking businesses too.


🚀 Rolling In Dough Marketing Was Born

I decided to start a business around this idea—helping home-based bakers set up the kind of simple marketing system that actually gets results.

Here’s what I do:

  • I build you a professional website for free

  • I set up or fix your Google Business Profile so customers can actually find you

  • I add tools to help you follow up automatically, respond faster, and book more orders without burning out

You don’t need to run ads, post every day, or hire an expensive marketing agency.

Just a smart, simple system that works.
