Cookies, Campers, and Creativity: A chat with Andrea Walters of Andy Kay’s Cookies

 

In this episode, we have the pleasure of chatting with Andrea, who is not only a talented cookie artist but also the proud owner of a vintage cookie camper. Andrea takes us on a journey through her creative life, starting with her passion for art as a child and her love for floral design. She shares how her artistic background and her experiences in the flower industry have influenced her unique style of cookie decorating.

We learn about Andrea's love for Cookie Con, a convention where cookie enthusiasts gather to share their love for all things cookie-related. Andrea describes it as a place where she found her tribe, a community of like-minded people who speak the same language of cookies. She reminisces about winning an award at Cookie Con and the joy of connecting with fellow cookie artists.

One of the highlights of the conversation is Andrea's cookie camper, which she affectionately named "Cookie." She tells us about the serendipitous moment when she stumbled upon the idea of owning a vintage camper for her cookie business. We hear stories of her successful pop-up events and even her backstage experience at a Reba McIntyre concert, where her cookie camper stole the show.

Throughout the episode, Andrea emphasizes the importance of embracing creativity and taking risks. She shares her process of creating unique cookie designs inspired by real flowers, staying true to nature, and ensuring her cookies are not only beautiful but also meant to be enjoyed. She also encourages listeners to keep pushing forward, even when facing failures, as it's all part of the journey toward success.

Andrea's infectious energy and can-do attitude shine through as she talks about her passion for creating and her determination to make things happen. Her story serves as a reminder that dreams can turn into reality when we dare to follow them with enthusiasm and perseverance.
