How we started

It all began in 2003 after leaving my job to be home with my son. The love of baking and decorating goes back to the 1990's when I completed a program in cake decorating. I started out doing Gingerbread cookie kits and houses... throughout the years I did branch out to other products... but in 2019 I stopped doing cakes and went back to only doing decorating kits... back to where is all began.

And in 2022 I created our Entertainment Candy... with the launch of the Easter Candy.

My cookies have been enjoyed at Casa Loma (Elves in the Workshop for 8 years) Winterlicious, Welcoming of Santa at various malls, including Yorkdale, on vendor lists including Kleinfeld Bridal Toronto, seen on CP24 and much more

Parties Made Simple

Turning your passion into a business is not easy work, but Marnie, owner of Parties Made Simple, proves it’s not just possible but a dream come true. Marnie began by making cookie decorating and gingerbread house kits to share her love for baking with other families with young kids, something she was experiencing as a new mom when she started her business back in the ‘90s. After branching out into other options, including cake decorating, Marnie returned to her decorating kit roots in 2019, and hasn’t looked back since. From this stemmed the creation of her Entertainment Candy and the launch of her Easter Candy, which have led to Marnie’s success, being featured at events like Winterlicious and Welcoming of Santa, and even gained her a spot on CP24! The thing is, Marnie isn’t just an incredible business leader, she is also devotedly active within her community, assisting with school fundraisers with the help of her cookie kits. Marnie successfully participated in VBEC’s Starter Company Plus and is an inspiration to any business owner looking to transform their passion into purpose!
