KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Kansas City Chiefs’ winning streak isn’t just benefiting them, but small businesses too.
A Northland couple’s cookie business does some of its biggest sales around the Super Bowl, especially when the Chiefs are in it.
“Probably, at this point, it’s muscle memory,” said Kenzie Vincent while concentrating on creating her latest batch.
She and her wife started MackCanvas & Cookies out of their Northland home in 2020. That’s when Kenzie lost her job and Taylor decided to leave her teaching career for the world of baking.
Since they work from home it allows them to care for their two young kids while creating baked goods.
Each incredible design is posted on their Instagram and Facebook page, MackCanvas & Cookies, which looks like something straight out of a magazine.
“We try to make it different,” said Taylor Vincent. “With the Chiefs winning so much it gets hard to do something different than what we’ve done in years past,” she said.
Some of their latest designs feature Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce embracing, Chris Jones, Patrick Mahomes, and various Chiefs imagery in Las Vegas.
They’ve come a long way in the last four years. The couple’s first sugar cookie recipe came from Pinterest, with their first clients buying from them on Snapchat, and the sales just keep getting bigger and bigger. For instance, they’ve already sold 2,200 cookies this postseason and sold 2,600 during last year’s Super Bowl.
Each cookie only takes a few minutes to design, with the more intricate ones taking just five minutes. For this week’s creations they purchased 80 pounds of butter and 300 pounds of flour.
They just had a sale Wednesday night for their latest Chiefs creations but sold out within an hour, which is pretty typical.
Customers who’ve purchased from them before can access a pre-sale a few hours before it goes on sale to the general public. Last night’s sale included 226 orders and nearly 5,000 cookies.
You can submit an order anytime through their Facebook or Instagram pages and stay up-to-date with their latest creations and upcoming sales.
