Business Updates

Cookeez Bakery included in Input Fort Wayne.

This month, we were lucky enough to be featured on Input Fort Wayne’s monthly magazine. We love how they support the community, and we were happy to be interviewed by them.

Here’s small excerpt from the story:

“Fort Wayne has been taken over by a new amazing craze: Cookeez Bakery.

This bakery was started in August 2017 by Jamie Aries. Her dream was to start a bakery that was welcoming to the community and helped local women in recovery. They helped get started with the empowerment of a Fortitude Fund grant.”

We're about to celebrate one year in business!

A year ago in August, we started with an idea: creating a bakery that welcomes everyone and supports women in recovery. By partnering with local non-profits and a grant from the Fortitude Fund, we’ve been able to grow our business and help the community!

On August 18, come to our celebration event at Parkview Park. We’ll have live music, games for families, and lots and lots of cookies! Let us know if you’re coming by checking in on Facebook. See you there!

We've started catering for events. Yours could be next!

Cookies are the perfect addition to special events. Whether it’s a baby shower or bridal shower, a family party, a business event, a non-profit fundraiser, or whatever, we have developed special packages just for these special occasions. It’s taking our business to the next level, as we’ve been doing it under the radar for the past few months. Thanks for spreading the word!

Come See Us at Jefferson Pointe!

Cookeez Bakery has been growing, and we are trying out our first pop up store for the Christmas season! Come see us at the Jefferson Pointe mall, just across from Coldstone Creamery. We’ve got cookies of course! We also have cake pops and special packages that make the perfect gift.

Now is also a great time to tell you about how our mission fits perfectly with the season. Because we help give opportunities to women in recovery from our community, when you buy our cookies, you are helping these women buy gifts for their children and travel home to see family. Thanks for being a part of our mission!
