Shannon Roots

I’ve been married to my husband, Tom, for 30 wonderful years, and our journey together has been rich with love and devotion, especially in our Christian Camping ministry. This adventure has taken us across states from Texas to Michigan, Pennsylvania, Indiana, and back to Texas, where we raised our three children amidst the exciting experiences of camp life and all its delightful perks. It wasn’t until several years into our marriage that I discovered my passion for baking, transforming from a novice to an enthusiastic creator of sweet treats. In November 2023, I decided to purchase an online cookie decorating class to enjoy with my girls during Thanksgiving, and we had an absolute blast! That initial spark ignited a passion for beautiful cookie creation, leading me to take more classes and eventually start my own small business, Sweet Roots. By July 2024, I celebrated the sale of my first set of cookies, marking the beginning of a fulfilling chapter in my life since my children have entered adulthood, leaving us as empty nesters. Now, I’m dedicated to perfecting my skills and sharing the joy of my creations with others, bringing sweetness into their lives through every cookie I bake.
