After returning to Richmond in 2018, Morgan Huynh decided to blend her love of art and baking into a custom cookie business. The results are MASTERFUL.

 

Morgan’s talent for iced cookies has earned her a long list of loyal customers and a sold-out schedule of how-to events. She’s got a two-month waiting list for custom cookie orders. Her business name – Pipe & Flood – reflects the techniques she uses for skillful (and delectable) decorating. Using royal icing, she ‘pipes’ an outline of decorative elements on custom-shaped cookies and then ‘floods’ the remaining surface with a thinner coating to complete the design.

 

Morgan’s success with Pipe & Flood is especially sweet because it allows her to be a stay-at-home working mom. She uses her son’s nap times for creative exploration and has even gotten her husband involved in crafting custom cookie cutters. With barely a year in the business, she’s just getting started. Stay tuned to Pipe & Flood’s schedule of events here for a chance to meet Morgan and learn her icing techniques.
