Welcome to Smith Family Sweets!

We’re excited to get to know you! We’re made up of Dustin and Emily, and we have been together since May of 2001, married since February of 2004. We have three teenage sons together. Dustin likes golfing and enjoys spending time with his friends involved in the local racing community. Emily loves crafting, baking, and animals. We both love kayaking on the Willamette River together and spending time with family. When working with a business both of us like to feel like a person and not just a customer. It’s in the little details. It doesn’t take much to make someone feel special and heard. It means a lot to us to work with any company that has integrity and goes the extra mile for their clientele.

Our journey to baking was a fun one!  Emily has loved baking since she was a teenager, usually the one to provide desserts for birthday parties, holiday get togethers, or even just a casual bbq with friends and family. Dustin’s unknown love for baking was sparked in October of 2020. He wanted Emily to make a cake for his crew on his last weekend as the shift supervisor but she was unable to due to severe back pain. Dustin completed the cake with her guidance, and decided to give baking cookies a try a few weeks later. It just sort of took off from there.

For us, baking is a creative and therapeutic hobby. It’s so great to bring such joy to others doing something we enjoy. It’s also a new way to challenge ourselves. Dustin always says that you gotta practice to get better and he is definitely demonstrating it while baking. Emily loves the creativity with decorating cakes and cookies, she is always looking to improve her skills or learn new techniques. Baking makes us feel happy, proud of what we produce, excited when trying a new recipe, accomplished when they turn out right. Baking can be peaceful and tranquil.

Here at Smith Family Sweets, we’re honored you’ve selected us to share a little sweetness with you. Maybe it’s lofty, but truly, we hope to inspire great feelings when someone eats one of our products. Maybe it’s a little sweet treat you enjoy at the end of a stressful day, or perhaps it reminds you of a dessert you loved earlier in life. One of the things we’re most proud of is our authenticity; people appreciate the homemade quality and taste, that they are made by hand and not mass produced, and our quality – infused with pride, joy, and love – shows that. Maybe you’ll try something new and it’s instantly your favorite cookie. We just hope that you feel some form of happiness when you try one of our products. We hope you feel sweetly satisfied and wanting more. We hope to help you transcend to decadence.
