Managing a sweet-tooth craving is a traditional part of Halloween.

While many of those tasty treats come in the form of chocolate bars or candy corns one Yellowknifer is doing things a little bit differently.

Tania Oosting is the mind behind the Crazy Cookie Lady, a service that provides customers the opportunity to taste one-of-a-kind custom-made treats for special occasions.

A graphic designer by nature, Oosting got the idea of starting the Crazy Cookie Lady model because of her love for baking. She says making the cookies allows her to show more creativity.

SA国际影视传媒� I have fun doing it,SA国际影视传媒� said Oosting. SA国际影视传媒� It's great when people pick a custom order... they get to pick the theme but I get to do the designing.SA国际影视传媒�

This past weekend Oosting set up a stand at the Holiday Craft and Bake Sale at the Baker Centre, long lines of people formed in front of her table to buy cookies, some customers came away with eight-to-10 cookies at a time.

SA国际影视传媒淚 bought some at the last craft sale,SA国际影视传媒� said customer Donna Dooley . SA国际影视传媒淚 still have a pumpkin one left from the couple I bought last week the other one my daughter stole.SA国际影视传媒�

Dooley said when the cupcake lady left she was a little disappointed but is relieved now that the community is able to munch on cookies instead.

The Crazy Cookie Lady is equipped with business cards, but although she reiterated she doesn't believe the hobby could be a sustainable business, she has already developed a loyal customer base.

Oosting began decorating cookies last Christmas, began selling her cookies in Easter, and has received positive feedback from the community. She said for Halloween she has been especially busy.

SA国际影视传媒淟ast weekend I sold 16 dozen,SA国际影视传媒� said Oosting. SA国际影视传媒淪o this week I made another 13 dozen... and I'm a little pooped.SA国际影视传媒�

The Crazy Cookie Lady sells the treats for $40 a dozen and requires a two-week notice for any order.

SA国际影视传媒淔or what you can charge for a cookie I'm not making a profit... it is funding my addiction to the cooking supplies,SA国际影视传媒� said Oosting.

Oosting sold over roughly 13 dozen cookies at the bake sale in an hour and a half.
