A little something about us that seems to surprise a lot of Canadian bakers: Karentology is Canadian. 🇨🇦

We’re a small Canadian business, located in beautiful British Columbia and our packaging is designed right here in North Vancouver. And yet, for years, almost 90% of our business has come from the U.S.

We love our American customers and are incredibly grateful for them. But I’m always surprised by how many Canadian bakers discover us and say, “Wait… you’re Canadian?” 😂

Yes. Very much so.

We actually keep two separate inventories, one in Canada and one in the U.S., specifically to make ordering easier for customers on both sides of the border.

🇨🇦 Canadian orders are stocked and shipped from Canada.
🇺🇸 U.S. orders are stocked and shipped from the U.S.

That means your order isn’t crossing the border to get to you, so you aren’t suddenly hit with extra tariffs, duties or unexpected import charges.

So while our American friends found us a long time ago, I think it’s probably time we properly introduced ourselves to a few more Canadian bakers.

Hi. We’re Karentology. We’re Canadian. And we make really good-looking packaging for cookies. 🇨🇦

Apparently we should have mentioned that sooner. 😂

I absolutely love these designs by Bethany Vasconcellos. Leave it to her to come up with the sweetest, most unique designs. From the stand mixer to the piping bags, from the sweet treats to the dessert tray, every cutter is thoughtfully designed. And let’s not forget the cutest ghost baker who owns the cutest little Haunted Bake Shop.

The ideal packaging for this Halloween decorated sugar cookie set? The Karentology black cottage of course! 👻

To be honest, I designed this for year round use - from elegant corporate gifting to sophisticated wedding favors, but isn’t it also perfect for Halloween treats?!

It measures 4” x 4” x 6” tall. And fits all 5 of Bethany Vasconcellos’s large Haunted Bake Shop cookies plus a few of her mini designs.

Alternatively, you can choose to offer all minis. In which case, they’ll fit a dozen minis!

The best corporate gifts tell a story.

When my client QuadReal Property Group asked for West Coast themed cookies that reflected Vancouver’s North Shore, I designed a collection inspired by the landscape, wildlife and outdoor lifestyle the area is known for.

Deep Cove. Grouse Mountain. Burrard Inlet. Bears, deer, kayaking and hiking. Each cookie became a small edible representation of the community they wanted to celebrate.

That’s what I love about creating custom corporate cookies.

Give me the idea, the occasion or the story you want to tell, and I’ll turn it into something memorable for the people receiving it.

Product launches. Client appreciation gifts. Tenant gifts. Community events. Corporate events. Brand activations.

The goal isn’t just to put your logo on a cookie. My job is to create something your clients will be excited to receive, and that you’ll be proud to put your name on.

If your business is looking for custom branded cookies in Vancouver for an upcoming event or gifting program, I’d love to create something for you.

I didn’t actually design this box for Halloween. But come on… 🖤

The Black Cottage was created as a year-round gift box, but add Halloween cookies and a little LED tea light inside and suddenly it becomes the cutest little haunted house.

It holds 6–7 standard size cookies or about a dozen minis, but you could just as easily fill it with candy, Halloween treats or an individual decorate-your-own cookie kit.

And if you’re a realtor, how cute would these be for client gifts, neighbourhood drop-offs or Halloween open houses?

Here’s the catch. I only made 50 sets for the US market and 25 sets for the Canadian market. Canadian inventory has yet to arrive. But US inventory has dropped. This was a test run for a new product, so once this batch is gone, it’s gone.

Sometimes the best seasonal packaging isn’t seasonal at all. 🎃

I hope your summer is going swimmingly 🧜‍♀️

I seriously cannot believe it’s August already. Where did the summer go?!

I created this under-the-sea sugar cookie set for the sweetest little girl back in late June… and then it promptly got buried under the hundreds of photos and videos I’ve taken since. 🥴

Better late than never, right?

And speaking of things you don’t want to miss… I’m getting ready to open presales for some Limited Edition Karentology cookie box designs this week!

If you love fun, distinctive packaging for your custom sugar cookies, keep an eye on this space. I’ll be sharing everything very soon.

In the meantime, have a splashing Sunday! 🧜‍♀️🐚🌊

The little cookie box opens the door. The large one delivers the order.

From first impression to full order, your cookie packaging stays polished, branded and consistent.

Bakers use the Small Cottage Box for cookie samples, cold calls, corporate gifts and client appreciation gifts. They now come in 4 colours.

🤍 White for year-round orders, weddings and corporate gifting.
♥️ Red for Christmas, Valentine’s Day or brands that use red.
🖤Black for trade shows, corporate events and bold branding.
🩷Blush Pink for baby showers, bridal gifts, beauty brands and sweet celebrations.

Now, when that introduction turns into a larger order, the Large Cottage Box gives you matching custom cookie packaging without custom box prices.

It measures 7” × 7” and holds up to 24 standard 3.5” cookies. Slide your business card into the roof for instant branded packaging. No custom printing, no large minimums, and it pops together in under two seconds.

So you’re not wasting money on packaging where it adds no value, here’s the simplest way to know when to use a bakery box and when not to.

If your cookie business is built around affordable pricing or high-volume orders, or the cookies are being repackaged, added to swag bags, or delivered directly into an event setup, a sturdy bakery box may be exactly the right choice. In those cases, the box’s job is to protect and transport.

The problem begins when a baker markets decorated sugar cookies as a premium custom experience, charges accordingly, and then hands the finished order to the customer in packaging that makes it feel like ordinary baked goods.

A customer purchasing two dozen custom cookies for a birthday, baby shower, or wedding shower is not simply buying flour, butter, and icing. She is paying for the design, the personalization, the hours of skilled work, the convenience, and the feeling of bringing something special to an important occasion.

When she receives that order, believe me, she’s judging her purchase. We all do it. She is deciding whether it feels worth what she paid.

The packaging does not need to be extravagant. But it should reinforce the value of the cookies, not make them feel ordinary.

That does not mean every expensive cookie order needs presentation packaging. If the cookies are being repackaged, handled by an intermediary, or delivered straight into another fulfilment process, strong transport packaging may be all that is needed.

But when the paying customer is receiving the finished order, the packaging is part of the experience.

Your packaging needs to match what you are asking the customer to believe about your custom cookies.
