At The Cookie Jar Orlando, family is at the heart of everything we do. We believe the sweetest moments in life are the ones shared – around a table, with loved ones, and over something delicious. As a family-owned business, we don’t just bake for clients – we bake for people we care about.
Whether you’re planning a wedding, welcoming a new baby, or gathering generations for a holiday meal, we treat your celebration with the same care, joy, and intention we’d give our own. It’s not just about dessert – it’s about creating memories, together.
The Cookie Jar Orlando is led by the mother-daughter duo of Betty and Vivian, and their shared love for desserts, celebrations, and the magic that happens when something sweet brings people together. With Betty’s timeless approach to quality and hospitality and Vivian’s flair for modern style and storytelling, this boutique dessert catering business is as heart-driven as it is trend-forward.
“We believe desserts should taste incredible, look beautiful, and feel personal. Whether it’s a wedding, shower, milestone, or moment that simply deserves something special, we design every treat with intention – blending craftsmanship with creativity, and always, a little sparkle.”

Betty and Vivian: Co She-E-Os of Sweetness
Meet the mother-daughter duo behind The Cookie Jar Orlando! As Co She-E-Os, Betty and Vivian combine timeless traditions with fresh, modern flair to create desserts that feel as personal as they are delicious. Together, they bring heart, humor, and serious style to every sweet detail – because when you blend generations, magic happens.
Betty has always been that mom - the one with warm cookies ready before you even took off your shoes. The one who showed up to every gathering with a plate of something homemade and unforgettable. Even while running her own successful law practice, Betty’s heart was always in the kitchen, where butter, sugar, and joy came together in perfect harmony.
Eventually, she traded the courtroom for the “cookie room,” launching an artisan dessert catering business in New York known for its unforgettable baby pies, custom dessert tables, and thoughtful, handcrafted favors. Her desserts traveled from the rustic barns of the Hudson Valley to the poshest venues of New York City - and left a sweet impression wherever they went.
Now in Central Florida, Betty is baking up the next chapter with the same beloved recipes (and a few sunny new twists - hello, Key Lime Meringues!). She brings her signature warmth, attention to detail, and deep love for celebration to every custom creation - always baked with love and a sprinkle of wit.

From curating menus with clients to styling show-stopping dessert tables, Vivian approaches every task with a dancer’s precision and an artist’s eye.

The Men Behind the Magic (and the Heavy Lifting)
They may joke that their official titles are “Chief Taste Testers,” but The Cookie Jar Orlando simply wouldn’t run without our boys. From kitchen support to business logistics, Atticus and Edward keep things moving behind the scenes – proving that every sweet operation needs a little strength, smarts, and sarcasm.
Atticus keeps our kitchen running and our setups flawless - all while making sure we don’t forget to eat lunch.

Planning your celebration should feel just as joyful as the day itself – and dessert is a great place to start. At The Cookie Jar Orlando, we make creating your dream dessert table (or cake, or favors, or all of the above!) easy, exciting, and totally stress-free.
We begin with a friendly online or in-person consultation where we get to know your style, your story, and your sweet tooth. From there, we guide you through every delicious detail – from flavors and styling to setup and final touches. It’s a seamless, personalized experience designed to bring your vision to life with beauty, heart, and buttercream.
But don’t wait too long! To give each event the attention it deserves, we limit ourselves to just four weddings per week. That means dates fill up fast – and we’d love for yours to be one of them.
Your dream sweets are just a conversation away.
We love meeting couples face-to-face — and sharing a few sweet samples while we’re at it! Catch us at upcoming shows and open houses to say hi, see our work up close, and try a taste of what we do best.
