Hello and thank you for visiting GeorgieGirl Bake Shop:) I'm Benjie George Skur, owner/baker/cookie maker. Here's a little bit about how GeorgieGirl Bake Shop got started...
Before opening GeorgieGirl Bake Shop I was a court reporter for many years. I really enjoyed being a court reporter and met many wonderful people, including my husband, but baking is really where my heart has always been. I've been in love with baking my whole life. Let's get together and bake something, talk about what we just baked or what we're going to bake next, or let's go somewhere and look at beautiful baked goods. I love it.
When my good friend Kim invited me over in May of 2014 to decorate sugar cookies, I didn't hesitate. She introduced me to the magic of royal icing that day. I was sure that I had just made some masterpiece cookies. Ok, in reality they didn't really look that good, but they tasted great and they were made with love and with good friends. I was instantly hooked! And besides, perfect is boring;)
Since that date I have spent countless hours pouring over YouTube videos and reading blogs, soaking up anything and everything about making cut-out sugar cookies and decorating them with royal icing. There are a lot of generous people in the cookie community, and I am forever grateful to all for the knowledge they have so willingly shared.
At GeorgieGirl Bake Shop everything we make is made fresh in small batches from scratch, using only the very best ingredients. We never cut corners with the ingredients we use, even when the cost of vanilla gets so sky high that it almost requires a small business loan just to buy a bottle! There is absolutely no substitution for real butter and pure, high-quality vanilla. You can taste the difference and it smells heavenly. I promise.
Remember my friend Kim that I told you about? We have decorated cookies together many, many times since that day back in 2014. One thing we've noticed? We always have fun. Always. We decided to take all that we have learned and our shared love of baking and start teaching cookie classes together. We keep our classes small so that it feels like a little getaway and just a fun time with friends. Let us teach you how to make these cookies! You can check us out at www.justrollwithitcookieclasses.com. Take a look around and make plans to attend one of our classes! We would love to see you:)
