In a charming little corner of the community, Kelsey Sailor is making waves with her micro baking venture, “Midnight Cravings.” With 15 years of baking experience under her belt, Sailor has quickly gained a loyal following for her gourmet cookies and baked goods, all handcrafted with love and precision as a cottage baker. Before starting her own business, Sailor honed her skills at one of Lansing’s top bakeries, where she became the lead decorator in less than a year. Her impressive talent for design and flavor soon earned her a reputation for creating stunning desserts that both looked and tasted incredible.
After a chance meeting, Sailor has teamed up with store owner Melissa Randall to provide a delectable selection of cookies that are sure to satisfy the sweet cravings of local customers. It all began on a warm August afternoon when Sailor, the creative mind behind Midnight Cravings, stopped by the popular Corner Market & Pantry. While chatting with the owner, Randall, she had mentioned she was on the lookout for unique cookie options for her store. Recognizing an opportunity to showcase her baked creations, Sailor enthusiastically offered to fulfill Melissa’s cookie request. “I’ve always believed in the power of community and collaboration,” Sailor shared. “When Melissa mentioned she needed cookies, it felt like the perfect match. I love experimenting with flavors, and I am excited to bring something special to her store.” “I have always had a passion for baking,” Sailor said. “It is about bringing joy to people through food, and I love experimenting with new flavors and techniques.”
At Midnight Cravings, customers can find a delicious array of treats, from classic chocolate chip cookies to innovative flavor fusions like lavender lemon, from scratch sourdough breads, homemade brownies, custom cakes, and so much more. Each batch is made with high-quality ingredients, sourcing as locally as possible, ensuring every bite is an unforgettable experience. As her bakery continues to grow, Sailor remains rooted in her small-town values, welcoming everyone with a warm smile and freshly baked goods. For those seeking a taste of homemade goodness, Midnight Cravings is a must. She can be found on Facebook, at Midnight Cravings, and at local markets.
