The doozies were awesome; I'll be back and highly recommend them!

I got the doozies and they were so good, i will be returning and i highly recommend!

Oh. My. Goodness. In full disclosure, I won a recent giveaway from Sweet Thing Bake Shop for a 6 inch double layer rainbow cookie cake. I wasn't asked for a review or anything in exchange for the cookie cake. My review would be the same if I had paid for this myself. I am, apparently, just the luckiest person on Instagram this week. The cake was delivered to our home on Tuesday morning. It was well packaged in a sturdy box, plastic wrap, and a plastic collar to keep everything contained. Though it looks like I benefited from local delivery, I have no doubt that the cookie cake would have been fine through courier shipping like UPS. I bake quite a bit so it's always an extra special treat to have something made by someone else, especially something that's adorable *and* delicious. And this hit both marks. The cookie cake is colorful with rainbow sprinkles throughout the cookies and also used for decorating. I was slightly concerned that this would be too sweet. You know, that kind of cloying sweetness that makes your throat ache a little or your tongue feel fuzzy? There was no reason for concern. The balance of the cookie and buttercream is perfect and it's clear they've spent a lot of time perfecting that buttercream recipe to be a complement to the baked good rather than something trying to steal the show or mask inadequate baked goods. The texture of the cookie is perfection soft enough to bite into, sturdy enough to not be mushy or sponge like. When I initially won the giveaway, a few friends asked me for a review because they saw my entry and were intrigued. I've messaged all of them and encouraged them to either order for shipping or come visit and sit in my kitchen while we sample more goods. I'm already browsing the menu, dreaming of what I'll order for my own birthday in a few months so I don't have to bake for myself. Thanks, again, Sweet Thing Bake Shop! You made my week brighter and I'm eager to try more!

Loved the cookies! We send them as s gift and they said they were delicious. Thanks for the quick shipping!

The cookie pies from here are AMAZING. Instructions were easy, just pop em in the oven for 8-10 minutes and enjoy the yummy cookie! My brothers especially enjoyed the chocolate fudge cookie pie. Thanks for the delicious treats!
