Cookies In Bloom

Received a bouquet for Mother’s Day. It looked great so that is why I didn’t give it 0 stars. The cookies tasted absolutely horrible. We had to throw them all away. A weird smell came from it when I opened it and the cookies were stale and almost tasted like lemon… Or something I couldn’t put my finger on. My husband won’t tell me how much they cost him but I feel bad that he spent any money on it.

The cookie bouquet was beautifully decorated. I would not order again due to price. This is a very expensive product and when I called to ask the price, the shipping charge apparently was not included. As a business owner myself, I cannot imagine not disclosing all the charges including tax, shipping, extras up front.

I dropped in to Cookies in Bloom to see if I could satisfy a sugar craving for one, without having to buy a full bouquet. The gentleman behind to counter was quick to oblige, pointing out they also had candy apples and gelato, in addition to cookies. The cookie, itself, was large, though somewhat dense and dry; the icing VERY sweet. Glancing at the bouquets on display, they seem to do a lovely job of decorating and packaging (and they ship, too!). I don’t think I’d buy again, solely for the purpose of eating a cookie, but they can be pretty «show-​y» in bouquet format. If you care to take a moment to sit, the sidewalk has a couple of café tables. No extra charge for the live music drifting across the street from The Vig. ;)

I don’t eat ‘bad’ around the holidays for good reason. However, I have people around me that wish to sabotage the wonderful principles I have about eating healthy and not stuff myself throughout the entire year, by bringing home items like cookies, pies, cupcakes and cinnamon rolls. More recently this physique destruction has been in the form of cookies from Cookies in Bloom.
They’re are so amazing, just all that you could want in a Christmas cookie and more. I’ve eaten about two so far, and about to have another right now! And their design are just so adorable. I felt really bad biting into that snowman’s behind, but he asked for it. And $ 3/​per cookie makes you feel really guilty if you don’t eat them, since the person that bought them decided they weren’t exactly what they were looking for. (My mom is secretly jealous of my size 2 figure…)
These fun cookies also come arranged in baskets and designed for all holidays and occasions. I’m really trying to watch it, but I can’t resist them… you know, Bikram’s can only do so much for you when you overly eat sugary sweets like this on purpose.
