Shortly after welcoming our youngest son, Beau, into the world, we found ourselves navigating the challenges of life with a newborn. For my wife, Rachel, one of the hardest parts was her struggle to produce enough breast milk to keep up with our growing baby boys appetite.
As many new moms do, Rachel turned to online breastfeeding support groups for advice and encouragement. One day, she stumbled across a glowing post about Ginger’s Bread and Treats, a local bakery specializing in supply-boosting lactation treats. The comments were filled with moms sharing their success stories and swearing by Ginger’s products. Intrigued and hopeful, Rachel decided to give them a try.
Within days of her first order, Rachel noticed a significant increase in her milk supply and as a bonus, the treats were absolutely delicious! She became a loyal customer, ordering regularly and singing Ginger’s praises to anyone who would listen.
Now, I have to admit, Rachel wasn’t the only one hooked. I couldn’t resist trying a few of Ginger’s cookies myself and let me tell you, once I started, I couldn’t stop. These cookies were so good that I found myself reaching for just one more over and over again. It’s safe to say that Ginger has a gift for baking that appeals to everyone, not just moms.
Over time, what started as a customer relationship blossomed into a friendship. Ginger’s passion for helping moms shone through, and Rachel found herself not only with a pantry full of lactation cookies but also a friend who understood the ups and downs of motherhood.
Months later, Ginger made a post in her VIP Facebook group, asking if any of her followers owned small businesses. Ginger loves supporting other entrepreneurs, and Rachel decided to leave a comment and share the link to our candle shop. Little did we know that Ginger was a self-proclaimed candle addict!
Ginger soon placed her first order with us, and just like Rachel with the lactation treats, she quickly became one of our VIP customers. Her enthusiasm for our candles eventually led to a conversation during one of our deliveries. She asked if we’d be interested in creating a signature candle for her bakery a scent that would capture the cozy, welcoming atmosphere of her brand and resonate with her customers.
After brainstorming a few scent ideas, we landed on Gingers Cookie Dough, a candle designed especially for moms. We got to work crafting the perfect blend, complete with wax chocolate chips to mimic fresh cookie dough and a custom label featuring Ginger’s logo and a personal message.
For us, Ginger’s Cookie Dough is more than just a candle. It’s a tribute to the power of connection, to moms supporting moms, and to the magic that happens when small businesses collaborate. What started as a search for lactation cookies to help feed our son turned into a partnership and a friendship we’ll always cherish.
Today, the Ginger’s Cookie Dough candle sits proudly in Ginger’s bakery, filling her space with the comforting scent of freshly baked cookies. It’s a reminder that sometimes the best creations come from the heart, inspired by real-life experiences and meaningful relationships.
If you’re local and haven’t had the chance to experience Ginger’s Bread and Treats, we can’t recommend it enough. Ginger’s baked goods are not only delicious but crafted with care and purpose, perfect for moms and families alike. Visit her bakery to try her famous supply-boosting treats (and maybe sneak a cookie or two for yourself like I did!) and grab a Ginger’s Cookie Dough candle while you’re there you’ll see why her customers (and ours!) keep coming back for more.
Trust me, once you taste her treats, you’ll understand why Ginger is a local treasure. Stop by, support an incredible small business, and treat yourself to something special!
