Sweet Success: Building an International Cookie Empire with Marisol Morley
About this event
What does multiple career pivots, Meghan Markle and cookies all have in common? Marisol Morley. What initially started as a 5pm-9pm hobby, this self-taught baker evolved into creating a full blown empire with her cookies being served at Meghan Markle's baby shower. In this fireside chat, Marisol Morley will share how she got her start, how the power of connection led to her first corporate order, how to navigate obstacles like haters and pandemics, how to meet your business bestie and how she built an international cookie empire while raising three children.
Selfmade Guest: Marisol Morley
Marisol Morley is a first-generation, born-and-bred New Yorker. She grew up in the heart of the Upper East Side, in a fourth floor walkup, with her parents, two siblings, and one tiny kitchen. There, she learned that limited space was never an excuse for quality or quantity. On any given night, endless tapas, a beautiful Paella and pitchers of Sangria would magically emerge from that small-even-for-NYC kitchen.
Marisol was five when she asked her mother to teach her to make a cake. Pretty soon she was making meringues, coconut ice cream, Colombian parva cookies and flan. Twenty-nine years, a career in the music industry, and many other jobs later, she went back to her roots. What started as a pastime of making cookie boxes as gifts for friends and family, lead to the birth of Tiny Kitchen Treats.
For now, Tiny Kitchen Treats resides in Wilton, CT with her husband, their two kids (and one more on the way) and their labs, Charlie and Luna- quietly creating cookies for brand content and media partnerships and of course still baking for family, friends, and the occasional celebrity request.
