A new locally-owned, creative business, called It’s Just A Cookie Sugar Art Studio, is open soon in Broussard, Louisiana at 817 Albertsons Pkwy Suites L & M. Founded in 2012 by South Louisiana native, Rachel Cox, It’s Just A Cookie is an interactive baking class based around the almighty cookie in which students have access to trained industry professionals and the tools to create impressive cookies, cakes, macarons, and cake pops! When asked how Cox came up with the name, “It’s Just A Cookie!”, she says that over the many years of teaching many students found themselves stressing over the details wanting the cookie to be perfect, but Cox would remind them that it’s okay, “It’s Just A Cookie”.
