Hi everyone, welcome to my website and to the page about me! I’m Rylie, a 26 year old- big dreamer gal. I didn’t always want to own a business or become an entrepreneur, let alone become a baker. Ever since I was 12, I wanted to follow in my parents footsteps and go into the medical field. Life changes and now I’m here with a fiery passion for cookies and all things sweets! I don’t have any professional training, I’m 100% self taught. I have been decorating cookies and cakes for over 6 years- and loved every minute.

I graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration, December of 2020 from Montana State University-Billings. Soon after, I quit my full time job as an office manager and quickly jumped into devoting everything to White Bear. Here we are about 4 1/2 years later of running this thing full-time.

 

When I’m not baking, which is rarely, I’m usually hanging out with family and enjoying the outdoors. My biggest hobby and love is to play golf. I am the head boys and girls golf coach for C.M.Russell High School. I will be starting my 7th year in August of 2025. There is nothing more rewarding for me than becoming a huge part of my kids’ lives and watching the maturity and growth they develop throughout the 4 years of their high school career. Not only is baking a large part of my life, so is golf- which is why I made the decision to become an LPGA Certified Golf Professional. Currently, I am a Class B Professional, and will get my certification for Class A in May- I am well on my way to providing private lessons and making a difference in women’s golf.

My husband and I grew up both here in Great Falls, MT. Owen ventured out of the state for a while, but ended up moving back home once Covid struck California. We will always call this place home, we are excited to expand our family and grow with the community of Great Falls. I must also promote my other half- Owen works for Pam Alfred State Farm, he is the best person in town if you are in need of insurance (;

I am very grateful for each and every one of my clients for helping my dream become a reality.
