When we came across Dave Parker’s website we wanted to know all about his background and about his unique cookies? So the story goes, Dave started baking cookies to make extra money while he lived in Spain. He wanted to do it back here in the U.S. but wanted a twist to make his cookies more...interesting. It was while working at Leapfrog that a light bulb went off: to make cookies that look like people! He started with sports figures but quickly started getting requests for weddings.
Dave loves baking for weddings. Of brides and grooms he says, “They are such happy people! Everyone is excited because they are moving towards something special and the custom cookies will make that wedding day even more special.”

Of his inspirations, Dave credits a lot of people, especially his old colleague Mike Wood of Leapfrog, who he says created a company and product out of thin air. He also credits his grandfather who built a business from the ground up.
It seems like Dave’s cookies are truly unique as there is nothing else out there like them. Dave tries his best to explain over the phone what his cookies are like, but you really have to see them to understand how fantastic and unique they are. They’re not the typical shaped cookies with frosting faces or an image on the frosting; they’re an actual, edible 3D sculpture! Check out his website for more unbelievable creations and don’t forget to bookmark it.
