Sprinkling sweetness around the region.
Mother of two and wife to husband Rob who also runs a community group ‘Run With Rob’, Warner local Richelle Hopkinson founded Sprinkles N Cookies almost two years ago amidst the COVID epidemic.
After almost 20 years working as a Radiation Therapist, Richelle felt the pressures of working as essential worker during COVID, causing her to re-evaluate what made her happy.
"Working in the cancer treatment area is rewarding, however very emotionally draining and very medical. I have always had a passion for creating, so, I ended up turning my weekend hobby of baking and creating for my loved ones into a side business, which still continues to bring me joy and balance with family and home life," said Richelle.
After founding Sprinkles N Cookies, the business quickly gathered momentum leading to lots of community connections, sales, and smiles.
Richelle is now renowned for her delightful vanilla cookies that don’t only look heavenly, but taste like it, too with regulars even allowing her to be part of their annual family celebrations. Furthermore, Richelle has been recognised by the Australian Cake Artists and Decorators Association for her incredible creations and has been nominated for the 'best new cookie artist' in this years awards.
But Sprinkles N Cookies isn't just any baking business as they bake and decorate not only fondant, but also royal icing cookies. There are only a few cookies artists in the Moreton Bay Council region licensed to sell royal icing cookies due to the stringent licensing procedure -and Sprinkles N Cookies is one of them! Stay tuned for classes, to learn how to decorate and make your very own cookies!
