All Hail the Cookie
Sweets on the Side specializes in artfully prepared, hand-painted custom cookies for every occasion. Run by mother of two Lan McCabe, Sweets on the Side was first a hobby, then became a full-time business once McCabe realized her broad appeal. If you’re looking to provide an artful treat for a baby shower, wedding or casual get-together, this is just the place to call for cookies (almost) too good to eat. Although there’s no brick and mortar establishment, visit sweetsonthesideokc.com to browse and order your treats.
