I'm Michelle, the artist behind The Bougie Baker. I'm a USAF veteran, wife to my Air Force sweetheart of 15 years, and mama to two little ones who keep life full of laughter and crumbs.
I opened my small business in 2018 with a passion for creating custom sugar art that feels as special as the moments they're made for. After a season of growth and change, I'm excited to reopen in Vail, bringing elevated, one-of-a-kind cookie designs to celebrations both big and small.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where are you located, and do you offer delivery or pickup?
I am located in Vail, Arizona, operating from a licensed residential bakery. Pickup is available by appointment, and delivery can be arranged for select orders.
How far in advance should I place an order?
I open my booking calendar in three-month increments to keep things organized. For most custom orders, this works perfectly. However, for large orders, weddings, or corporate events, the earlier the better - sometimes 6-9 months in advance may be necessary to ensure availability. You're always welcome to inquire early, and we can discuss your timeline and options.
Can I try your cookies before placing a custom order?
Yes! You can purchase our individual cookies at Vail Coffee Stop located at 13105 E Colossal Cave Rd., Vail, AZ.
How do you accept payment?
Custom orders are secured via Zelle payment. Seasonal presales are available for purchase directly through our website.
Is a deposit required for custom orders?
For most custom orders, payment in full is required in order to secure your date on my calendar. For larger orders, and by approval, a 50% non-refundable retainer may be accepted, with the remaining balance due 30 days prior to the scheduled pickup or delivery date.
Do you offer dietary accommodations?
All of our products are made in a residential kitchen that regularly handles dairy, eggs, gluten, and nuts. Due to the risk of cross-contamination and the safety of those with severe allergies, we are unable to offer dietary accommodations.
