Hello WWE Universe, WWE superstar Liv Morgan here,
with my friends at Cricket, whose main goal this year is to support and
give back to entrepreneurs in our communities.
So, here I am in my hometown of Tampa, with Brianna,
owner of Black Sheep Cookie Co and we're gonna see if I can hang today and
make her famous royal icing cookies >> Let's see if we can do it.
>> Let's see.
[MUSIC]
>> My name is Brianna and I'm the owner of Black Sheep Cookie Co.
We specialize in handcrafted decorated cookies.
Some of the things, we offer are cookie classes, private cookie socials.
We offer custom cookies for any event that you wanna celebrate,
and no event is even a great event [LAUGH].
I've always baked from when I was young.
I really got into decorating cookies about five years ago and
it became a creative outlet for me and it just took off from there.
Being able to work for yourself,
it's a lot of responsibility, but it's also a lot of fun.
The craziness never stops [LAUGH].
Liz will have a great time decorating cookies, but
she will be quite surprised that it may not be as easy as it looks.
>> I'm so excited, you're here with me today to decorate cookies.
>> I'm excited, this is like so legit professional.
This is the most detailed cookie setup I've ever been a part of.
This is it, so I'm excited, I'm nervous.
>> Well we're gonna have some fun.
>> So we're gonna be decorating Cricket cookies, some of their characters,
Myles and Barry.
>> Cool. >> And the WWE logo.
>> Let's go. >> [INAUDIBLE] yeah.
You're going to squeeze so a little comes out and drop that down and
then have the icing follow your piping bag.
>> Okay.
>> We're gonna do that on all of our cookies and it does get quiet,
cuz we're so focused.
>> So concentrated I know, in it to win it right now, focus.
Looks like a cute little pop tart.
>> It does [LAUGH] >> I'm always covered in icing by the end
of the day.
>> My god, are you done already?
>> I am. >> Stop.
>> I know.
>> My gosh, I'm killing it.
Oop, my gosh, I got a dot.
Cookie decorating sounds easy, not easy.
[LAUGH] >> I also run my small business from my
studio space in my home as well, aromatherapy.
>> Ooh.
>> Candles, soaps, bath bombs, things of that sort.
My free time, which would my free time, is now soaps and labeling and
shipping them out.
There's a lot that goes into the pretty box that you receive at the end.
I build all the boxes individually, heat seal every single cookie.
Every care card you receive, is made by me.
It can be overwhelming sometimes.
I did get laid off during COVID and also,
everyone else in the world is getting laid off from their jobs, so
it's not like people were spending money on frivolous things like cookies.
I was trying to, bake free cookies sets to people that I knew that had businesses,
besides financially.
There have been orders that I've taken on,
where I'm like, I should not have done this, then I gotta call in people.
Yeah, but I got it done, that's what matters [LAUGH]
[MUSIC]
>> This is relaxing though.
>> It is.
>> What's the most crazy design you've made?
Do you get a lot of requests?
>> I get the craziest requests, but I'm not sure which ones I can talk about,
because I'm not sure how appropriate they are.
>> Uh-oh, say no more.
>> Nothing is off limits and I love catering to other people's individuality.
And, I like the more adult themes, cuz the options are a little bit more endless.
>> What are you most proud of, since starting your small business?
>> I think I'm most proud of the growth I've had.
I've been able to meet, not only clients, but other awesome business owners too,
and build relationships throughout the Tampa community.
>> Yours look so perfect.
>> I like with the WWE logo, it looks like,
[MUSIC]
What's the word?
>> Rugged?
>> Yeah, rugged.
So it almost looks cool, it's supposed to look like that.
It works.
