Glitter and Sprinkles Sweetery

My name is Tracy Montes and I am the creator and owner of Glitter and Sprinkles. My primary title is Mom to 4 of the most awesome human beings and 2 dogs on the planet! I fell in love with baking at a young age when I made my first batch of chocolate chip cookies. I can remember taking them out of the oven and being so proud at how fluffy and golden brown they looked. I beamed with pride as my Mom and family all took a bite. Then I tried them. They were terrible! Awful!! So salty!! Kudos to my family for the fake yummy noises! In 2015, while waiting for my daughter at the eye doctor I saw a magazine with Christmas cookies decorated with Royal Icing. They were the most beautiful cookies I'd ever seen, and I had to make them myself. So I ripped the page out of the magazine (sorry Dr. Michaels) and went to work. After hours in the kitchen mixing, rolling, piping, and flooding I had created nothing more than I giant mess! The cookies looked nothing like they did in the magazine. But seeing as I have no quit, I promised myself I was going to learn how to do this, and do it right! I slightly stalked a few cookier's YouTube channels (SweetSugarBelle) and read every tutorial I could until I figured it out. I started making cookies for friends and family as practice, because my kids wouldn't eat them anymore and in 2016 I started, my side hustle cookie business. Like it often does, life took me down a different path in 2018 and I hung up my cookie cutters. But after a much needed "shake up" I came back to baking full time in 2020 and couldn't be happier!! I absolutely love creating cookie art and of course I also enjoy helping people add something "a little bit extra" to their parties and events! When creating my cookies and treats I use only the best ingredients. I choose to use real ingredients such as real cream butter, rich Ghirardelli chocolate, and pure vanilla extract. I strive to make my cookies and desserts taste just as amazing as they look! I truly do enjoy making and decorating cookies and gourmet desserts, and I knew from the very first time I touched the surface of a cookie with my piping bag that this was going to be a life long passion! Whatever the occasion, I welcome the challenge of creating a cookie or dessert that will not only be eye-catching but delicious as well! Love, Light and Cookies! Tracy
