I recently got to sit down with Krystina, the creative force behind The Messy Cookie and The Sweet Selfie Photo Booth, to talk about how she’s turning treats into an experience!

Since launching in 2018, Krystina has grown her business from custom sugar cookies to edible photo booths and more. Her signature shortbread sugar cookie is a fan favorite, but she’s always innovating with fun flavors like vegan lemon crinkle and banana bread chocolate chip. Whether it’s intricately painted sugar cookies or full-on cookie painting classes (held every second Saturday of the month), Krystina blends creativity with deliciousness.

She also runs a retail location in Portland and is active on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, and her website, themessycookie.com, where you can check out her latest creations or book your own cookie experience.
