I'm on First Coast Living, y'all!

October 10, 2026

I have some absolutely thrilling news to share, and I am still pinching myself! This cottage food bakery was featured on First Coast Living for their September 22 segment!

It was such an incredible honor to share my passion for baking on local television and promote our upcoming holiday cookie decorating classes and curated holiday gifts.

Bringing the Bakery to Your Screens

If you had told me when I first started baking out of my home kitchen that it would be featured on a local lifestyle show, I would have never believed you. Sharing a sneak peek of what we’ve been working on for the upcoming holiday season with the First Coast community was an absolute dream.

During the segment, we talked all about:

Interactive Cookie Decorating Classes: A look into our upcoming seasonal workshops where you can learn to decorate cookies like a pro at each of the Smallcakes locations this season.
Curated Holiday Gift Sets: A preview of our festive, delicious treats ready to gift to teachers, neighbors, coworkers, and loved ones.
Our Cottage Food Journey: How your amazing local support has allowed this home-based business to grow.

Catch the Replay!

Thank you all so much for being a part of this journey. This milestone belongs to you, too! There would be no Bungalow Baked without you. Your orders, word-of-mouth recommendations, and encouragement are what made this happen!

If you missed the live broadcast on September 22, don't worry! You can watch the full replay right here.

Favorite Bakery

If you’re in search for cookies, look no more. Bungalow Baked cookies are by far the BEST cookies I’ve ever had in my whole existence. Baked to perfection and made with so much love. Yup, I’m pretty sure this is exactly what love tastes like. I tried Meryl’s cookies for the first time at a birthday party, and since then I’ve been HOOKED. I finally got to order from her for my son's first birthday party, and they were such a big hit. Too much of a hit, that I had to hide some cookies for myself 😅 I ordered again from her for Easter, and this was last minute (a week after the birthday party) I was so glad that she was able to do my order, because my boys and nieces loved the Paint Your Own cookie activity. We definitely created memories this Easter with Meryl’s cookies ❤️ Bungalow Baked is my new favorite cookie bakery. I’ve officially retired my love for Publix and Cinnotti's cookies. Thanks to you! I can’t wait to make my next order.

Incredible - like, one-is-not-enough kind of delicious

Cookies by Bungalow Baked are hands-down the BEST!  I had the pleasure of taking a cookie decorating class with Meryl and also ordered custom cookies for a special event—and both experiences were amazing! It was my first time taking a decorating class, and Meryl made it so easy and fun. Her instructions were clear, the atmosphere was relaxed, and I left feeling confident and inspired. I’ll definitely be signing up for another class! When it came to custom cookies, Meryl was just as incredible to work with. I shared a general idea of what I wanted, and with her creative eye and talent, she designed cookies that were absolutely perfect. Not only do Bungalow Baked cookies look stunning (true cookie art!), but they taste incredible—like, one-is-not-enough kind of delicious. I highly recommend Bungalow Baked for both edible artistry and unforgettable experiences!

The BEST!

Loved taking a class from Meryl! She is the BEST teacher! She explains each step in a simple way that makes it easy to follow. I also appreciated that it was such a relaxed environment! Meryl is so kind and encouraging through the whole process. Grab a group of your besties and take a class from Meryl! So fun! Plus, the cookies taste AMAZING! 🩷

Created core memories

We celebrated my daughter turning 13 with a handful of her friends, close in age & every girl got to explore her inner cookie artist. Meryl was absolutely amazing teaching the class and really connected with the girls! She praised their individuality and creativity! It's special occasions like this that create core memories, and we are so thankful Meryl got to be such a huge part of ours! The class was fun, the cookies were delish, and Meryl was an absolute Joy 🫶🏻. Recommend 10/10 All the Stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Seriously delish, totally recommend

This cookie decorating class was such a fun experience! I went with my mom, and we laughed the whole time. The instructor Meryl was awesome, really patient, and made it easy for everyone to get the hang of decorating. These cookies are seriously delicious! If you’re looking for a creative and fun thing to do, I totally recommend it.

Never disappointed

I have used Bungalow Baked for several events and parties. I am never disappointed. Not only do these cookies look amazing, they taste amazing too. I’ve used other businesses in the past that have failed me in either looks or taste. I love now having a reliable company in Bungalow Baked! I no longer have to stress, and I know the products will be perfect!
