C is for Cookie, That’s Good Enough for Me!
I just finished the most delectable cookie that I bought today from Cakes by Stephanie here in Monroe. It was a fluffy, pumpkin spice cookie with cream cheese frosting topped with chopped walnuts. It was so soft and moist it was almost like a mini pumpkin cake.
I came across Stephanie’s cookies by chance. A friend of mine got married last weekend. She is from Bellville and her wedding was in Canton. However, having sampled one of Stephanie’s cakes at a bridal show, she decided to go with them for her wedding cake.
At the end of the reception last Saturday night my friend asked me if I’d be willing to return the cake stand during the week, since she’d be off on her honeymoom and since I already live in Monroe. “No problem!” I said. Well…guess what? I forgot I even had the cake stand in my car until I opened my trunk LAST NIGHT.
Panicked, I rushed the cake stand back to the bakery this morning. All is well and my friend will get her deposit back! And of course, while I was there I got to see and smell all of the other delicious baked goods they make. So I went for the pumpkin cookie (I’m really into all things pumpkin right now). I bought Kevin a peanut butter cookie with a crumbled reese’s peanut butter cup on top.
It’s almost a shame that their name is “Cakes by Stephanie” because they do so much more than just cake! And now I’m glad that I know. Or maybe I’m not… this could be dangerous.
