Being a Cookier shouldn't feel so draining...
But when you're always the one making the magic happen—cookies, meals, holidays, all of it—it’s easy to lose sight of your own spark.
If you've ever thought...
- “I just want to decorate without rushing.”
- “I miss having time to create something just because it brings me joy.”
- “I never know what to post—how do I keep customers interested?”
- “I wish I could step away from the chaos and just breathe for a minute.”
- “I need something that fills me back up.”
- “I'm sick of the distractions, I need a break!”
You’re not alone — many cookiers feel the same way.
You’re not alone — many cookiers feel the same way.
So many women carry the weight of all the things, and somewhere along the way, we forget what it feels like to just enjoy the process.
The quiet of focusing on a cookie. The laughter of being around other women who just get it. The deep exhale that comes when someone else takes care of everything for a change.
That's exactly why I created the
Bakeaway Retreat.
This is a pause on purpose.
A weekend where you can set down the to-do list and come home to yourself through creativity, rest, and connection.
✨ Picture this: ✨
You arrive at a charming venue, where every detail has been prepared for you. Your room is cozy. Your meals are handled. You’re welcomed with open arms by a group of women who share your love for cookie decorating—and more importantly, your craving for a little space to just be.
And then... we create.
Picture having...
- Hands on Decorating Galore: Hands-on cookie decorating sessions with techniques you’ve been dying to try
- Rest & Relaxation: Cozy downtime, cdelightful dinners, and real conversation
- Gifts for You: Swag bags filled with hand-picked goodies just for you
This isn’t about doing more.
It’s about remembering how good it feels to feel like yourself again.
Come as you are. No pressure. No performance.
Just a sweet little escape where you get to play, rest, and reconnect—with your creativity, your purpose, and the heart behind why you started decorating cookies in the first place.

Hi, I'm Lauren
Eventually, I found my groove and was ready to do something just for me. That’s when I designed my first cookie, and I’ve never looked back.
For the past four years, I’ve thrown every ounce of my energy into learning the ins and outs of cookie baking and decorating. And I’ve managed to turn really impressive-looking designs into easy-to-learn techniques that anyone can perfect with the right guidance.
I’ve created dozens of mini-classes and resources to help over 50,000 students fall in love with this hobby like I did, and some of them have even gone on to launch their own businesses with my help.
We’ve created a really tight-knit community of cookiers in our little corner of the internet, and we’d love for you to be a part of it.
At Lolly's, we’re more than just a resource—we’re your partner, your cheerleader, and your biggest supporter on your journey to turning cookie decorating into a thriving business.

Have Questions? Let's Answer Them!
When will the event be held?
The Bakeaway Retreat is scheduled for May 15–17, 2025, in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Please note that this is a three-day event, concluding on the morning of May 18th.
What time does it begin and end?
The Bakeaway Retreat begins on Thursday, May 15th, with registration opening at 5:00 PM, followed by our cozy Welcome Party that evening. Don’t worry if you arrive a little later—we’ll make sure you’re registered, settled in, and greeted with a smile (and probably a cookie).
On Friday, May 16th, we dive into a full day of decorating, learning, and connection.
Saturday, May 17th is another hands-on, creative day, with our final session scheduled to wrap up by 6:00 PM, followed by dinner until 9 PM.
Sunday, May 18th is a travel day with no scheduled sessions, perfect for packing up, saying goodbyes, and heading out with a full heart.
Where will the retreat be held?
Woo-hoo! The Bakeaway Retreat will take place in Sioux Falls, South Dakota — where I currently live and cookie! It’s a sweet little city with plenty of charm and good food.
Our home base for the weekend is The Carlton at Dawley Farms — a beautifully designed, newly built venue that’s just 18 minutes from the airport. It’s modern, cozy, and the perfect spot to roll up your sleeves, get inspired, and dive deep into the cookie magic.
What if I register but can’t make it?
We get it — sometimes plans change. If you need to cancel your ticket, just email us at service@lollyshomekitchen.com and we’ll issue a full refund up to 60 days before a Lolly's event.
After that, tickets become non-refundable, but you can still transfer your ticket to a friend up to 10 days before the retreat. We’ll help you make the switch if needed!
If I can’t make it, can I give my ticket to someone else?
Yes! Life happens — and if you’re unable to attend, you’re welcome to transfer your ticket to someone else up to 10 days before the retreat begins.
Just shoot us an email at service@lollyshomekitchen.com with the details, and we’ll get everything switched over.
Can I make payments instead of paying all at once?
Yes, absolutely! We offer a 3-payment plan option right on the registration page. Just select the payment plan at checkout, and your payments will be automatically scheduled.
Please note:
✔️ All payments must be completed no later than 5 days before the event to secure your spot.
❌ Incomplete payments or missed installments will result in cancellation of your registration.
If you’re in — we want to make it easy for you to say YES!
Do I need to bring any baking or decorating supplies?
Nope — we’ve got you covered! All supplies will be provided for every cookie session, so you can just show up and enjoy the experience stress-free.
That said, if you’ve got a favorite tool, apron, or something fun you’d love to play with during downtime, feel free to pack it! But no pressure — we’ll have everything you need (and then some).
♿️ Is the retreat accessible for attendees with special needs?
Absolutely. We’re committed to making this experience as welcoming and accessible as possible. If you have any specific needs, mobility concerns, or accommodations we should be aware of, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at service@lollyshomekitchen.com. We’ll do everything we can to ensure your time with us is comfortable, safe, and full of joy.
Is lodging, flights, or transportation included in my retreat ticket?
Lodging, flights, and daily transportation are not included in your retreat ticket—this is standard for events like this. You’ll be responsible for booking your own hotel and getting to the venue each day.
Plan to handle your travel to Sioux Falls, hotel and daily transport, and we’ll take care of the fancy part. 😉
Will meals be provided at the retreat?
Yes! Most meals are included during the retreat — think light breakfasts, catered lunches, snacks, and even a fabulous fancy dinner. You’ll be well-fed and well-loved.
That said, if you have specific snack preferences or dietary needs, it’s never a bad idea to tuck a few favorites into your bag. There are also plenty of food options nearby, plus a Target and Walmart just around the corner if you need anything during your stay.
Where can I book my hotel room?
The GLō Best Western is located right next to the event venue. Rates are very reasonable, but book right away so you can get the best room rate!
Can I hug you if I come?
Yes!! I’m a big hugger, and I can’t wait to make you feel so welcome in my home space. Go for it!
There are Just a few spots available...
This is an invite-only, tiny but mighty group experience. We’ve got room for a handful of cookie-loving women who want to go deep — not wide.
Some seats are already taken. The rest? They’re first come, first served.
If your heart’s pounding and you’re already picturing yourself there, don’t wait.
