Waves Bakes Makes Cookies for All
By: Ava Heinert
Pepperdine just got a little sweeter. Waves Bakes, an on-campus cookie baking and delivery business, made its debut Oct. 30.
First-year students Taylor Karr and Lily Wilson bake homemade cookies on Thursdays and Fridays and have them delivered on the weekends to students living on campus. ZippieCookie, a similar business Alumni Noah Wossen (17) and Briana Rusin (17) created nine years ago, inspired Waves Bakes, according to Dr. Susan Helm, a Pepperdine nutrition professor.
Waves Bakes works to bring students joy through baked goods made from scratch that people cannot get anywhere else on campus, Karr said. She hopes Waves Bakes’ products remind people of home.
“We just really want to have a business where people can really enjoy something that’s maybe a little nostalgic or just actually brings them some comfort and joy,” Karr said.
Wilson has always loved baking and cooking, she said, and often bakes treats to give away as gifts.
“I’m always in the kitchen cooking dinner for my family or baking something for my mom to give to our friends,” Wilson said. “I want to continue that here.”
