Meet The Baker & Designer

Hi! I’m Cari Rooney, a lifelong Arizonan based in Gilbert. I’m a proud wife—celebrating 21 years of marriage with my amazing husband—and mom to five incredible kids, ranging from 12 to almost 20.

I discovered my love for cookies when my youngest started preschool and I took a decorating class… and I was instantly hooked! Now, Tangled In Sugar is a one-person shop—I make the dough, bake the cookies, decorate them, color and bag the frosting, and even create my own content. Every cookie is truly handcrafted from start to finish.

I’m passionate about what I do, and I love sharing it with people who appreciate beautiful, delicious cookies made with care. Thank you for supporting my small business—it really means the world!
