I'm Annie Risenmay, and I am obsessed with baking AND quilts! I've enjoyed baking since I was a young girl, but I began learning to decorate cookies in 2021 and fell in love. I posted some of my first cookie creations on Instagram, and my friends started ordering and then telling their friends...and now I have a hobby business of custom cookie decorating and teaching classes. I am always curious about new cookie techniques and want to learn all the ways to give my delicious cookies an even fancier look. I am a firm believer in making mistakes and moving on because when all is said and done, a cookie is a cookie!

My career is at the University of Utah, helping direct a department where we review research to make sure that people who decide to be in studies are safe and have their rights protected. When I'm not dreaming up cookie designs or working my day job, I love to read, chase my young son around, learn Spanish, and find great travel deals.
