Growing up, Blake Warman struggled with his weight, but even after turning his life around and getting in shape, he couldn’t shake his sweet tooth. The Long Island native never considered a career in cookies when he moved to South Florida to study at the University of Miami, but fate came knocking in 2019 when he launched The Blakery from his dorm room. As word of his signature oversized cookies took off, he went viral, developing a dozen unique flavors, all stuffed with different goodies and hand-decorated with toppings. After a stint at Time Out Market in Miami Beach, the new chapter in The Blakery’s evolution will include the introduction of new flavors and ingredients, as well as upgrades in packaging, ordering and delivery. “I see us expanding our reach, captivating new audiences, and becoming a household name synonymous with delicious treats and memorable experiences,” he says. “I want to continue pushing the limits of what’s possible in the world of baking, while staying true to our core values — fun, creativity and community.”; TheBlakery.co.
