The Crumbling Cookie Co.


Dream with me for a moment. You are a child and you have just come home from school. The bus has just dropped you off  you hit the ground running for the house! You know what your after school snack is, and your Mum is the best because she always lets you have it. What am I talking about? Cookies. Two of them, with a tall glass of cold milk. Its every childs favourite snack... What could be better? 

I have to say, that as an adult, the cravings for sweet or savory tastes don't really need to be questioned when the result is always the childhood after school snack. Two cookies and milk. For me, the best kind always has chocolate in it. Chocolate chip, or Double chocolate chip, Mint chocolate chip, Chocolate Fudge, or even Oatmeal Dark Chocolate Mint Chunk. Wow. My mouth is salivating just thinking of it. 

What could be better?

Nothing!

Now that I have your attention, the best way to possibly explain my excitement when Melanie Chouinard of The Crumbling Cookie Co., the owner, founder and cookie-maker herself, contacted us is... EXCITEMENT! After the article came out in the Winnipeg Free Press about a month ago, we have been contacted by some wonderful and amazing 'outside the box' thinkers. And why not?! Today's society is full of people trying new things, and 'having a go' at making it work... And the best thing about each company, is that they are thinking as we are.

Outside the box. 

Now, inside the box (her box), Melanie bakes a wonderful array of cookies. From the finest ingredients, she creates masterpiece cookies that taste like a little dot of heaven. Her varieties are vast and its pretty apparent that if you are looking for a particular flavor or combination, Melanie is the woman to call! 

The gourmet cookie: a golden brown creation to delight the senses; chewy, satisfying texture, deliciously rich in authentic flavor; the warmth and irresistible aroma of home baking. What could be better?

So it is with great delight that I announce that we are working alongside Melanie and The Crumbling Cookie Co. to make the best and most delish cookies to use as our 'wedding favours'. They represent everything that we, as a couple, love. 

And of course, we are having some form of Chocolate!

So if you are one of our guests, please let us know once you have tasted your dot of heaven at the conclusion of the wedding, how much you liked them! The best exposure is word of mouth, and we believe that once you try The Crumbling Cookie Co.'s cookies, you will be wanting more! 

As an Aussie would put it, they are undoubtedly... MORE-ISH!!

Now Melanie Chouinard has only just begun her work. So, she has not yet been able to put up a website. This will be available near the beginning of June, so watch out! We are super excited about what it will look like and will let you know as soon as it is available for you to see!
