Meet Lily Parker: From Telecommunications to Cookie Creations

Hi, I’m Lily Parker, the creator behind Tempted by Cookies. Believe it or not, my journey didn’t start in the kitchen. For years, I worked in the fast-paced world of telecommunications, where my life was driven by deadlines, technology, and the corporate grind. But amidst all of that, I found solace in something much simpler—baking.

As I traveled across the world, I discovered the magic of cookies. In every bakery, in every city, I’d find a new flavor, a new texture, and a story behind each cookie. What started as a hobby soon became a passion, and before I knew it, I was hooked!

However, I wasn’t always confident in the kitchen. In fact, I struggled with recipes and burned plenty of batches. But I learned that baking is less about getting everything perfect and more about the joy and creativity that comes with it. That’s the spirit behind Tempted by Cookies—a place where you don’t have to be an expert to make something delicious.
