Treats by Trin

Your order is baked, boxed, and almost ready! Whether you’re a first-time customer or a Treats by Trin regular, I wanted to share a quick checklist so pickup day is smooth, stress-free, and sweet as can be 🍪✨ Here’s everything to know the night before your scheduled pickup: 🗓️ 1. Double Check Your Pickup Date & Time I’ll always confirm your pickup date and time with you during the ordering process—make sure you have it saved in your phone (with an alarm if you’re like me 😅). If anything changes, just shoot me a message! 📍 2. Know Where to Go Pickup is in the Oklahoma City metro area . The exact address and any special instructions (like gate codes or driveway parking) will be sent privately before your pickup window. Please be respectful of the neighborhood and arrive during the agreed time slot whenever possible. 💸 3. Payment Should Be Complete All orders must be paid before pickup. If you haven’t submitted payment yet, check your message or invoice link...

So you’ve got a few cookies left from your treat box or an extra half-loaf of sourdough sitting on the counter—first of all, great job not finishing it all in one day 😅 Second, don’t toss those sweet leftovers! Whether you over-ordered (love that energy) or your party guests didn’t finish every bite, here are some of my favorite ways to breathe new life into your extra baked goods from Treats by Trin . 🍪 Leftover Cookies? Make Ice Cream Sandwiches! Grab your favorite ice cream and sandwich a scoop between two cookies—then wrap them in parchment paper and freeze. Instant dessert magic ✨ Pro Tip: Sugar cookies and chocolate chip cookies work best for this hack. Crumbs in the freezer? Use them as a topping on yogurt or milkshakes! 🧁 Extra Cupcakes? Try a Trifle! Crumble up leftover cupcakes (frosting and all) and layer them with whipped cream and fruit in a jar or bowl. You’ve just created a show-stopping dessert in minutes. This is a fun way to use up different flav...

From the outside, running a home bakery might look like a dream: warm cookies on cooling racks, perfectly frosted cupcakes, and the sweet smell of vanilla in the air. And while those moments definitely happen… so do the flour explosions, frosting fails, and last-minute sprints to the grocery store. Here’s the real scoop on what it’s like running Treats by Trin —the messy, magical, and totally worth-it journey of baking from home. 👩‍🍳💕 🥄 It’s Not Just Baking Sure, I spend a lot of time mixing batter and checking timers—but a home bakery is a business, and that means I'm also doing: 📋 Scheduling and planning weekly orders 💻 Answering DMs, emails, and custom order requests 📸 Taking photos, editing, and posting to Instagram 💌 Packaging with care (and cute labels!) 📦 Managing pickups and keeping everything fresh Every treat has a to-do list behind it! 👶 Toddler Interruptions Are the Norm I’m often frosting cupcakes with one hand and handing out...

If you've ever looked at the price of a dozen cookies or cupcakes from a home bakery and thought, "Is it really worth that much?" — you’re not alone. And today, I’d love to share a little behind-the-scenes perspective from inside the Treats by Trin kitchen. Because when you buy homemade, you’re paying for more than just flour and sugar—you’re investing in quality, creativity, care, and small business dreams 💕 🥚 Quality Ingredients Matter I don’t skimp on ingredients. I use real butter, pure vanilla, local eggs, high-quality chocolate, and organic or seasonal fruits when I can. These choices make a difference in taste, texture, and freshness—and they cost more than basic store-bought alternatives. ⌛ Time Is Baked In Custom orders aren’t just “mix, bake, box.” Every treat involves: Recipe prep & ingredient shopping Actual baking (with built-in toddler interruptions 😅) Cooling, packaging, and labeling Messaging, invoicing, and coordinating ...

Ever wonder what a typical day looks like at Treats by Trin ? Spoiler alert: it's a mix of cookie dough, customer messages, frosting swirls, and a few toddler meltdowns in between. 😅 Baking from home with a little one running around is beautifully chaotic—and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Here’s a peek into what a day in my life really looks like (flour-dusted floors and all!). ☀️ 6:30 AM – Early Start (If I’m Lucky) My day usually starts before the sun’s fully up. I sneak into the kitchen with a giant cup of coffee and prep any dough that needs chill time. This quiet time is golden—and often the only silence I get until bedtime 😅 🍓 8:00 AM – Breakfast + Baking Begins Once my daughter is up, it’s breakfast time (for both of us). While she snacks or plays nearby, I start baking the first batches—usually cookies or muffins that will be boxed up later that day. She's either helping me “stir” with her toy whisk or insisting on a snack every five minutes. It’s...

Whether you're heading out of town, shipping a sweet surprise, or looking for a treat that won't melt in the car, this post is for you! At Treats by Trin , I know how important it is for your goodies to look and taste amazing—even hours (or days!) after baking. That’s why I offer several treats that are designed to travel well—so you can gift, share, and snack with confidence. 🍪 Cookies That Keep Their Charm Classic cookies like chocolate chip, sugar, and snickerdoodle are the MVPs of travel-friendly treats. They hold up in boxes, bags, and even a bumpy car ride. I pack them in sealed sleeves or bakery boxes to keep them soft and fresh. ✨ Pro tip: Sugar cookies with royal icing are perfect for gifting—longer shelf life and so cute to unwrap! 🍞 Sourdough Loaves & Mini Breads Sourdough is naturally sturdy and stays fresh for several days—just slice, toast, and enjoy. I also make mini loaves that are perfect for gifting or bringing along for brunch. They tr...
