Welcome!

I'm Kelsey Mae

I’m a wife to my bestie, and a mom to our 2 incredible boys. We are also a “waiting family” for the domestic infant adoption of our future daughter. (see more under the adoption tab in the menu)

I am a child of the 90s and a creative soul always looking for a voice. I have done just about every form of art, dancing, acting, painting, ceramic, drawing, sewing, and now cookie-ing! As much as I enjoy all forms of art, I feel home with the icing bag in my hand!

About Find Sweet Joy

How it All Started

So, let’s set the stage: The year is 2019. It’s December and I’m looking at these beautiful cookies on Pinterest trying to figure out how to get them to magically show up at my nephews baby shower. But I guess there is this thing where cookiers can’t ship cookies under the cottage law of their state. (same here in MI if you are asking) So instead of doing what normal people do and looking for a baker in my area, I decided with the generosity of my aunt, to snag some cookie cutters, meringue powder, binge watch YouTube videos, and dive into the world of sugar cookie decorating, it’s now January 2020.

After that initial set with these SUEPER cute elephant cookies that took 8 hours to do 4 of them…I decided, this cookie thing was TOTALLY for me. So I watched more videos, read books, tested recipes, learned about the beauty of WHITE food coloring, a cookie turn table, and a really sharp scribe.

Moving on from there I did everything I could to design creative sets and learn new techniques. My hubby also saw the value in me NOT buying every cookie cutter that came into my vision for a set, and he bought a 3D printer. (Late Summer 2020)

I’d say we learned a lot in 2020. Not only did we figure out how to do life during a pandemic, we also figured out how to run a business together. My hubby and I have worked together in the same environments since the moment we met, it seems only fitting that we continue that way.

Now we have a giant mixer, a dough cooler, multiple 3D printers, A Christmas Cookie Challenge 2021 WIN and a business we love. Thank you for your support! We can’t wait to bring you along for the fun!

✨NEW VIRTUAL CLASS✨

I’m gonna be honest, I’m super excited about this set! I know teacher appreciation has already past, but that doesn’t mean last minute teacher, bus driver, principles and everyone else super awesome doesn’t need an end of the year treat! Those “best of the world”🌎 people in your life who give you wings to “soar”✈️ on…. Or the ones who “keep you sharp”🌵, take you “wherever you need to go”🚌 and constantly need some caffeinated “fuel”☕️ in order to keep track of all those kiddos…☺️ I honestly don’t know how they do it. It’s a calling for sure, and one I’m NOT gifted in. 🤍

Thank you to all those who do with for/in/with schools and educators. We are ALL blessed by you! ❤️📚✏️🖍

(Cool thing is, these can easily be flipped for fathers day cookies! - can’t wait to see what some of you all do with them!)

If at first you don’t succeed…try try again. My design for this cookie has gone through many stages, I think I’ve finally got it! But man, 3rd time really is the charm here.✨

I was so bummed that the video of my second version didn’t work, only to be pushed once more to come up with the latest gem. I hope you like it as much as I do in the end! (Check back later tonight for the final!) 🥰🤍🌎
