Here are just a few of the items
I had the pleasure of sampling:
Caramel Candy Brownies

These are not your average, everyday cake like brownies.
These rich, delectible treats are dense and full of true cocoa flavor.
The caramels are like a fun little surprise.
Warm these suckers up for just a few, and they'll melt in your mouth!
TwinkleCream Pumpkin Sandwiches

| Buy it here |
This was the first thing that caught my eye,
I'm a sucker for pumpkin and nuts.
While the nuts are optional, I highly recommend ordering with
as they are the perfect match for the buttery filling.
The cake is just perfect, need I say more?
Let's get to know the genius behind these creations
while I tempt you with a few more pics:

Q: Tell us a little about yourself.
A: I grew up with my mother the artist ( painter ) she also baked and cooked from scratch! She taught me baking at an early age, fast forward to cake decorating classes, and decorating cakes for weddings. My obsession then became decorating cookies, thus Crumbles Cookies on Etsy.
Q: 790 sales in less than 2 years? In edibles on Etsy that's incredible! Did you ever see yourself taking it this far, online?
A: I did have plans to take it this far, however, I am still surprised that it happened so quickly on Etsy.

Q: In a category like this, it is really hard to stand out from the crowd. What do you think sets you apart from other sweet shops?
A: I feel you need to stay true to yourself and your own artistic abilities, use the freshest, highest quality ingredients and don't compromise. Good photos also help, because online it is all about the visual.
Q: Which is your favorite creation? Are the recipes your own?
A: My fav is the 3D Peach cookie- they were inspired by a recipe I got from a Victorian Magazine years ago and I have been baking ever since. Most of the recipes are my own, some are inspired by mentors such as Martha Stewart and the like.
Q: I imagine in baking, consistency is key. I imagine you must run a very tight ship. Do you do this all from your home kitchen? Do you have any help?
A: I do certainly feel that consistency is most important and we have to stick to a tight schedule. My husband and son help tremendously with the shipping and business end. We are looking into a commercial kitchen at the moment, and maybe our own bakery someday.
3D Summertime Peach Cookies
Q: What is your busiest time of year?
A: Christmas is the busiest.
Q: Do you sell locally? Have you sold any huge orders? Special events?
A: Many friends and family keep us busy locally. I'm doing 250 mini red velvet whoopie pies for a wedding in just a couple weeks. We have supplied many a wedding, including a 'Georgia Peach' wedding thru Etsy with my afore mentioned 3D Peach Cookies!
Q: Do you take custom orders?
A: Yes, I welcome custom orders and have done many.
Q: I hear you make dog treats, too. Be honest, do they taste as good as people treats (in other words are they shareable?!)
A: My doggie treats are 100% shareable...I have one friend who has to eat one every time he smells them baking :) They are just not sweet like the human cookies.

Q: Just for fun, name a few of your favorite Etsy shops.
A: A few of my fav Etsy shops are my Mom's shop Dragonfly Studios 74, my friend Michelle's vintage clothing shop KnowItAllGrrrl, my cookie friend on Esty Aymee, the cutest decorated kids cookies Wacky Cookies, and I almost forgot a great silhouette artist I love Tina Tarnoff.
