Certified food handler Claire Au says she’s been baking since she was young, and has always shown her love through food. She started getting serious about sugar cookies when a friend asked her to help with her wedding in 2019 by making Frappuccino sugar cookies. When the pandemic hit, Au started her Instagram account (@creations_by_mommy_aumotoyumi) to share things she was making at home for fun, and she publicly launched her sugar cookies last December.

This holiday season, Au is doing a flash sale today (Dec. 8) from 6 to 8 p.m. Choose from three mini Mouse-mas cookies ($10) or DIY cookie kits ($30) that include 12 cookies, three icings and sprinkles. Pickup is Dec. 18 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Keiki 2 Keiki (2758 S. King St.), and Au will drop off any extra advent calendars and treats on Dec. 11.
