Hi! My name is Logan Gran and I am the Owner of One Smart Cookie SD. I originally started the business in Pierre and moved to Sioux Falls and brought my business with me.
I specialize in custom decorated sugar cookies as well as Cookie classes! I love to teach about cookies just as much as I love to do them myself. I am an engineer by day and Cookie artist by night.

My name is Emily Studemann and I own the Sugar Palace in Harrisburg, SD. I am a baker and decorator. My love of decorating has been with me since I was a teen. I did my first wedding cake at the age of 16 and never stopped.
You can always find a sweet treat at Sugar Palace and I can help design cakes for your special occasion!

Hi, I’m Leigha, the heart behind Rustic Nook Bakery. I’m a passionate entrepreneur, a devoted mom of two, and a creative baker who turned a lifelong love of baking into a thriving business. With a background in marine biology, I bring a unique blend of science and artistry into every recipe I create.
What started as a small two-person operation has grown into a warm, welcoming space known for handcrafted treats, community events, and meaningful experiences. Everything I’ve built has been driven by family and fueled by passion.
Outside of the bakery, I love spending time with my kids and embracing adventure. Often on the back of a motorcycle.
