Sugar Bites Houston Cookie Artist

Lisa Marie Beatty

Hi, I’m Lisa Marie Beatty, the baker and artist behind Sugar Bites Custom Cookies. What started as a simple love for sweets and creativity quickly grew into a passion for transforming sugar cookies into edible works of art. From custom-designed cookies for weddings and birthdays to seasonal DIY kits and decorating classes, I pour my heart into every detail.

Based in Houston’s Energy Corridor, I specialize in creating cookies that not only look beautiful but also taste unforgettable, using my signature vanilla sugar cookie recipe and royal icing techniques. I’m also passionate about teaching others the joy of cookie decorating through hands-on classes and digital resources.

How It All Started

My cookie journey began long before Sugar Bites was even a thought. I’ve always loved getting creative, whether it was crafting, scrapbooking, or trying my hand at new DIY projects. But back in 2017, while planning a Halloween party, I stumbled across a photo of decorated sugar cookies on Pinterest, and I was hooked.

What started as a fun weekend experiment turned into a true passion. I spent countless hours learning, practicing, and perfecting my royal icing skills. Before long, friends and coworkers were asking for cookies for their own events, and I realized this “little hobby” had turned into something much bigger – and so, Sugar Bites Custom Cookies was born.

Just for giggles, this is what my very first cookies looked like. I know, they were awful, but I was so proud of them.

Family & Furry Friends

Life at Sugar Bites is always full of love (and a little chaos). My husband, Max, is my biggest cheerleader and taste tester – when he’s not busy working as a bankruptcy attorney here in Houston. Together, we have five amazing kids ranging from 14 to 30 years old, who are always happy to test new cookie flavors fresh out of the oven.

And then there are the dogs – because no home is complete without them! We have two elegant and mischievous Pharaoh Hounds, Anubis (5) and Ramses (4), plus one tiny but mighty long-haired Dachshund named Boba Fett (2), who keeps his big brothers on their toes.

Homegrown in Houston

Though I was raised in sunny Miami, I’ve called Houston home since 2005. Sugar Bites operates out of my home bakery in the Energy Corridor, where every single cookie is baked and decorated by hand.

I happily serve the Houston area with local pickup options, and thanks to Texas cottage food laws, I can also ship my cookies anywhere in the state of Texas.
