Gilded Crumbs started in the way most things I begin tend to start. I randomly find myself doing something I love more often, sharing it with friends and coworkers, and eventually wondering how I might share it with other people.

I will admit, though, that I took Gilded Crumbs further than simply making something delightful.

When I began thinking about how I wanted Gilded Crumbs to feel, I kept coming back to the idea of sharing something with another person. Maybe it is a gift. Maybe it is part of an intimate moment or a gathering. Whatever the occasion, I wanted the experience around it to matter too.

I have always admired houses that dedicate themselves to a craft, the kind where you can feel the thought behind not only the product itself, but how it is presented and experienced. I wanted to bring some of that same intention to what Gilded Crumbs offers.

That is why each cookie begins with a particular mood or experience in mind and is altered until its flavor, texture, and form feel right for it. But it is also why receiving the box is meant to be a moment of its own.

“Indulgence in every bite,” yes.
