Cookies By Design / Cookie Bouquet
Cookies by Design/Cookie Bouquet is a unique business as it combines two traditional gifts 'flowers and sweets'. Each bouquet was arranged with custom-molded, hand-decorated sugar and cinnamon brown sugar cookies in baskets for all holidays and occasions. The company, which Gewn Willhite started after losing her job from her home, soon grew into a chain of shops that began franchising in 1987. Within 10 years, Cookies by Design/Cookie Bouquet has grown to more than 175 shops in 115 cities across the United States.
