About a year ago, I was a D1 track athlete: healthy, active, and driven. But when I was diagnosed with severe anorexia, everything changed.

What saved me was my mom. She came to the hospital every morning at 6 a.m., went to work, and returned every evening to sit with me until visiting hours ended. She never missed a day. She sat with me, ate with me, believed in me, and helped me find my way back to life.

She continues to be my biggest cheerleader. For Mother's Day I knew I had to do something special.
She’s obsessed with Dessert Gallery’s sugar cookies, so I reached out and shared our story and was able to surprise my mom with the cutest butter cookies, her favorite! - Elaina R.

I’m so thankful for your desserts—they bring my family together around the table. The first time we came to Dessert Gallery was during a tough time: I had just undergone emergency spinal cord surgery right around the holidays. Normally, my mom, my grandmother, and I would bake together for Thanksgiving. But that year, we came to Dessert Gallery instead—and we’ve come back ever since! – Linda R.

I remember when Trevor went into practice in the mid-80s before you were Dessert Gallery and we took bags of cookies to all the doctors. They were always a hit! – Ruth R.

When my roommate and I both went through breakups in the same month, we made a pact: no tears without treats. We ordered a full spread from DG: brownies, banana pudding, the works and had the coziest night in. Since then, DG has been our go-to comfort stop. Now we celebrate everything there, from new jobs to “just because it’s Tuesday.” It’s more than dessert it’s part of our healing (and happiness) journey. - Jordan P.
