Believe it or not, as a very tiny independent cookie company, as much as I wanted to acquire a large and prestigious cookie order, the thought of it actually happening had me crazy scared and mildly hoping that I’d never have to be too concerned, because it will never happen, right? Wrong! 450 cookies later, Kudos Kookies goes on to prove we’ve got what it takes to complete and compete with the big dogs, one cookie at a time!
This particular cookie was designed for a contracting company in Chicago for an employee appreciation day. They found Kudos Kookies doing an internet search for custom cookies in the Chicago area. After a few phone calls, sample cookie pictures sent via email and cookie tasting samples mailed to the company for their tasting consideration, the order was placed. After a short bit of celebrating, a long bit of serious amazement at how I’d get this all done in the 2 weeks allotted, I got right down to the business of baking, icing and painting cookies. Baking, icing and painting cookies. And if I forgot to mention, baking, icing and painting cookies 
Right here is where I had planned on putting a really cool video of me showing the process of hand painting this particular logo on a cookie. Take my word for it, it was awesome. The only problem is, the file was too big (over 3 minutes) from start to finish to paint this particular logo, on this particular cookie. 450 times worth of this particular logo on this particular cookie. If by chance you’re interested in viewing this awesome video, you can do so by going to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLNa0pnxqJY Trust me, it is must see TV Well, on to more pictures then…
Okay, okay already. What’s the big deal you ask? Why such hoopla over one very large cookie order? Well, to me it’s proof positive that they can be done (with additional orders being filled during the process) and done extremely well. Now I know I don’t need to fear anymore or question our ability to fill very large orders. I know our small Kudos Kookies is a quality cookie company that goes above and beyond to make our customers happy. I couldn’t be more proud and excited for the future. Bring it!!!

Thanks for leaving a reply on my blog!
I totally agree with Bridget. Hand-painting 450 cookies is true dedication to your business! Truly Inspiring.
Renee! WOW! 450 hand-painted and free hand at that, cookies. You definitely (to quote Jennifer) “rock”. The video was a treat to watch. Amazed at how steady your hand is with such a tiny paint brush. At some point I will try “painting” cookies but for now I”ll just watch your video over and over. Please, if you can, post more videos of you working with your cookies! Thanks for this one!
I still can’t believe you hand-painted 450 cookies!!! And a LOGO, no less! Amazing!
You’re right…the video is must see TV.
