About the Founder

Mike Tamplin

Hi, I’m Mike—founder of Semi Sweet Designs! I’ve been decorating cookies and sharing recipes, tips, and tricks since 2011. My goal is to help beginners feel confident picking up a piping bag while also creating innovative cookie cutter designs for seasoned decorators.

What started as a passion for decorating has grown into a full-fledged shop, where my brother, Billy, and I design and offer hundreds of cookie cutters, along with stencils, tools, and apparel tailored for cookie decorators. Every product in our shop is created with decorators in mind, making it easier and more fun to bring cookie ideas to life.

I'm here to inspire and support your cookie decorating journey! Whether you're just starting out or a pro looking for fresh designs, we’re here to inspire and support your cookie decorating journey!

Whether you're just starting or a seasoned pro, we’re here to make cookie decorating easier and more fun!
