I visited the store around noon. I knew I wanted a cookie cake for a friend’s birthday. The associate, Kiana, was most helpful in helping me design the cake. I told her what I had envisioned and she helped bring it to life. She even helped add some finishing touches to make it better. Kiana did a fantastic job in the decorating aspect, too. GAC is lucky to have her! Keep up the great work, Kiana.

I have been picking up the big rectangle cookie cakes with the football theme for my sons weekly football dinners. Kiana does an incredible job personalizing it for the teams we play each week. Several moms send in dessert and each week the huge cookie cake is the first item gone. This week we play Baylor. Another cookie cake exhaled!
