It’s located in the shopping center that houses Jet’s Pizza and Chicago Gyros & Dogs.
Owner Kristie McAllister realized she enjoyed baking royal iced cookies for her family and friends after buying a cookie decorating kit in 2021.
“I started watching videos online of other people doing it, so I was like, maybe I could do this,” McAllister said. “I got a kit from Amazon and started doing it (and I) really enjoyed it.”
Since then, her business has grown beyond friends and family. McAllister obtained a LLC last year.
Anchored Baking Co. offers more than decorated cookies. Customers can expect a variety of “drop cookies” such as chocolate chip, sugar and s’mores, brownies, cupcakes and other individual desserts.

Something unique McAllister offers are cookie sandwiches with flavors such as PB&J, S’mores, Buckeye Brownie and Oatmeal Cream Pies.
The bakery has a 300-square-foot room for birthday parties and cookie decorating classes.
McAllister plans to have a decorating station near the main bakery case for customers to watch her decorate cookies as they walk in.
“I just want to serve the community, be a blessing to them and bring a little something that I feel like is needed,” McAllister said.
McAllister is a 2001 Wayne High School graduate who went on to study nursing at Wright State University. She has been a nurse for almost 20 years including a stint as a travel nurse where she met her husband. She started her family in Virginia and returned to the region in 2017.
