MARK YOUR CALENDARS! We are SO excited to finally announce that we are hosting the 2nd Annual Rebel Daughter Day!
Here are the details: Saturday, October 14th, from 11am-3pm at our storefront at 21 Isaacs Street, Norwalk Our last event in March 2022 was a HUGE success with 30+ small women-owned businesses popping up in the parking lot outside our store and was covered by News 12 CT and The Norwalk Hour.
The event is totally FREE for vendors (women-owned small businesses only) and attendees. This year we are expanding the vendor spots to host 40 women-owned businesses!To apply to be a vendor, email hey@rebeldaughtercookies.com with the subject line: REBEL DAUGHTER DAY.
The application deadline is Saturday, September 23rd. Applications will not be considered after this date. Acceptance emails will go out Sunday, October 24th. We regret that unfortunately we cannot include everyone!
In the email, please include your business name, social media handles and website, if applicable, and what you sell. Our only ask in return is that you help us get the word out about this event via your social media and email channels. Our goal is to host a variety of small businesses from food to goods and services, and to change up the vendors who participated last year.
We are looking for everyone from artists, to purveyors of handmade goods, to gluten-free and vegan food offerings, mobile caterers and event planners. The purpose of this event is to give other small women-owned businesses the opportunity to shine– to showcase, sample and sell their products and services– for free. #womensupportingwomen
More information will be provided via our email list and Instagram in the upcoming weeks–so please stay tuned! Last year’s event was such a success for all. We can’t wait to see you there!
About Rebel Daughter Cookies:
‘Rebel Daughter’ is the nickname my mom gave me growing up because I was always pushing the boundaries, the limits and expectations set out for me, of what I was told I could and could not do. And so it seemed a fitting name for a company born despite starting out as a full-time mom with two young kids under 3 and no business or institutional culinary experience: no matter what anyone said, I was going to do it anyway. And I could give you all the reasons I would be successful.
My whole adolescent and adult life I’ve rejected being labeled. I believed I could be both strong and feminine. Classy and eclectic. That kindness is cool and thinking differently is a thing to be celebrated. It’s rewarding to create a brand people love and identify with based on these values: that cookies belong in boxes, not people.”
As a kid, my mom believed in healthy snacks (which I appreciate today but rebelled against then) and I cherished every forbidden treat I got my hands on, from cotton candy on a camp trip to fluffernutter sandwiches at a neighbor’s. As I grew up, my taste in desserts grew too, and at this point I’m a dessert connoisseur. 😉
Each cookie I create is based off these vivid childhood memories, adult favorites, and flavor profiles. I labor over getting the balance right in every recipe for a gourmet taste that adults will appreciate as well as kids. I obsess over every ingredient because I eat these cookies, too: I only create cookies that I LOVE and that make my inner child happy.
Our brand is centered around women empowerment and giving yourself permission to indulge and savor every bite. The only thing forbidden here is guilt. I want each cookie to be rich, memorable and freakin’ amazing, like life itself; otherwise–and I mean really–what’s the point? Now, get out there and live it up.
