Some bakers are born to be in the kitchen and others learn their trade from studying with experts. Many find their passion later in life when they didn’t even think they had talent! There’s no doubt that Sandy Nicolette, owner of Sassy Sweets by Sandy, began baking “tiny things” at a very early age. Didn’t we all have a children’s Easy Bake Oven when we were 8 years old?
Inspired by her mother Dorothy’s baking and her grandmother Josephine’s pies, Sandy did finally study her craft with Grammy Pammy (Pamela Eleanor) learning the art of custom cookie design and baking. For the past three years, she has brought marvelous finishing touches to many gatherings throughout Northeast Florida with her innovative, delicious and keepsake cookies. From children’s parties and bridal showers to holiday gift-giving, sports themes and even special events in barns with ponies and boots, her Sassy Sweets bring smiles and laughter to all of her clients and friends.
Emanating from her cottage food kitchen, the “Cookie Baker” loves the challenge of creating memories first — and establishing clients, too! Although Sandy’s most popular sugar cookie flavor is vanilla almond, it’s a very delicate taste along with other requested flavors of lemon, orange, lime and chocolate. Gluten-free is also an option for the cookie and her colorful royal icing!
As each cookie pops out of the oven, it’s hand-decorated and individually wrapped in an air-sealed clear cellophane bag to maintain its freshness for many weeks. Sassy Sweets requests a minimum of two dozen cookies per themed design order, beginning at $4 per cookie. Since they are custom-created, Sandy personally delivers them throughout St. Johns, Duval, Flagler and Clay counties to ensure that their arrival is guaranteed “in one piece.” No cookie crumbs here in her Sassy Sweets!
