Back-to-School Treats: Cake Pops & Cookie Cakes for Baldwin County Families

Baldwin County Schools head back on August 12, and around the Eastern Shore that means new backpacks, first-day photos, and a whole lot of "one more week of summer!" At Sugar Coast Sweets, we love helping Foley, Fairhope, Daphne, Gulf Shores, and Orange Beach families kick off the school year with a little extra sweetness — whether that's a cake pop bar for a first-day breakfast, a cookie cake to send home with a favorite teacher, or a treat table for a back-to-school open house.

Every batch is handmade to order right here in Foley — no grocery-store shortcuts — so you can match your treats to your school's colors, mascot, or grade level with a design that feels personal instead of store-bought.

Back-to-School Treat Ideas

A few of our favorite ways families and teachers use us for the first day of school:

• Mini cake pops in your school's colors for first-day photos and lunchbox surprises

• Cookie cakes with a "Thank You" message for teachers and classroom aides

• Mascot or grade-level dessert tables for Meet the Teacher night or open house

• Class treat bags or a cake pop bar for the first week back

Order Early for the First Day

We recommend ordering at least 2 weeks ahead to guarantee your design and date — with the first day of school on August 12, that means getting your order in by July 29 for stress-free pickup. Pickup is always free right here in Foley (36535), or we offer local delivery across the Eastern Shore for a nominal fee. Need something sooner? Reach out anyway — we'll do what we can to help.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you match our school's colors or mascot?

Absolutely — sprinkle mixes, sanding sugar, and chocolate decor pieces can be combined to match almost any school color combo or mascot theme. Just share the details on your order form.

Do you make treats for teachers too, not just students?

Definitely — custom cookie cakes with a "Thank You" or teacher's name are one of our most popular back-to-school orders. They're a sweet, personal way to kick off the year on the right foot with a new teacher.

How far ahead should I order for the first day of school?

At least 2 weeks is ideal, especially for custom colors or designs. With Baldwin County's first day on August 12, ordering by July 29 gives you the most flexibility — but if you're in a time crunch, reach out and we'll see what we can do.
