Mary Valentino
Mary Valentino is a professional cookie baker and decorator who began her baking and decorating journey eight years ago as a creative outlet. As she began posting her creations on Facebook, she started to get orders for custom cookies—and more orders, and more orders. She soon realized that her expertly decorated cookies were a hit and, with her husband, decided to make cookie baking and decorating a full-time endeavor.

The business, Emma’s Sweets (named after her daughter) includes an online retail site selling an exclusive line of cookie cutters, other cookie-making supplies, and her own recipes. Mary won an episode of the Food Network’s “Christmas Cookie Challenge,” and she teaches in-person and online workshops. She lives in Ontario, Canada.
