Learning From Locals: The Art of Homemade Custom Sugar Cookies

NBCUniversal, Inc.

Welcome to "Homemade," a series about getting a taste of our unique Bay Area culture from, well... home. Locals invite us into their homes and teach us how to prepare goods by hand, sharing a piece of themselves in the process. Learn how to make something new while getting to know the people that make up the fabric of our community.

Meet Kellie, she's the founder of Pretty Little Bakers and a long-time resident of the San Francisco Bay Area. Kellie welcomes us into her kitchen and walks through the entire process of creating homemade custom sugar cookies - from baking to decorating!
