Corso’s Cookies Review (Mother’s Day Gift Guide)


I love cookies and sweets (it’s really no secret) and I think that cookie bouquets are just so cute and of course there is a huge plus to getting to not only look at them but they are edible!! While looking online for the perfect gift for my mother for Mother’s Day this year I ran across Corso’s Cookies and let me tell you they have a huge selection of unique gifts for mom or just anyone on your list!

About Corso’s Cookies (taken off their website):

The Corso's Cookies Story

Like so many other kids, Tina Corso loved baking cookies. She started with an Easy-Bake Oven then graduated to baking with a real oven in her grandmother's cozy kitchen, using cherished family recipes. Creating art was another of Tina's passions, leading her to make and sell tee shirts, decorative clay pots, and , of course, cookies.

Being a smart cookie, Tina wondered if she could blend her twin passions of baking and art into a business. She started out small in 2001, creating uniquely cool, hand-decorated cookie bouquets and cookie gift baskets. To spread the word about Corso's Cookies, Tina posted flyers and handed out business cards around the city of Syracuse. Her first customers were attracted by how beautiful the butter creme cookies were decorated – like edible works of art. After tasting them, folks clamored for more and told their friends about Corso's Cookies. (Tina likes to say that the word about her cookies spread by mouth, literally – one delicious cookie at a time). Soon Tina's dream of creating a thriving business out of her passions came true, and her home-based business expanded then moved to its current bakery location.

Since then, Corso's Cookies has quickly become the company that people turn to for custom made, hand-decorated, beautiful, delicious cookies. The Corso's Cookies Crew consists of nearly 30 talented bakers, gift designers and decorators, working together to create unforgettable gifts for the people special to you.
Today, you can find Corso's Cookies in more than 100 catalogs and web sites, including ProFlowers, Amazon, and Gifts.com.

Our Thoughts:


I was sent the Mother's Day Tulips Cookie Bouquet for review and I have to say that the shipping was wonderfully fast and the customer service was top notch! Once I received the bouquet and took it out of the box (which was very well packaged) I had a really hard time trying to decide if I was going to eat one of the cookies to do a review on the taste because the bouquet was just too beautiful!!! But after much debating with myself and my two year old I decided to go ahead and give in and share on with Zane Bug after all they are cookies right?? So after letting Zane Bug choose the cookie he wanted to sample first I decided to let him have the first bite and it wasn’t long after that he looked at me and smiled and said “MMMMM…I like it” and after that I had to have a bite and not only are these cookies beautiful they are also very delicious and fresh!

I have to say again that I was very impressed with the packing and condition that the bouquet arrived in. Corso’s Cookies take very great care to get the items to you with out damage and I’m truly glad to say I have no complaints!!

I give Corso’s Cookies a thumbs up and really recommend them for all your unique gift giving needs I just know one of their cookie bouquets will put a smile on any mom’s or anyone’s face!

Check out a couple of my other favorites that they offer:
