Aria's Cookies & Confections LLC

At Aria’s Cookies & Confections LLC, every treat tells a sweet story—baked with love, passion, and dedication to the craft, making it a go-to for delicious cookies and cupcakes in Southwest Illinois.

For Aria Burnside, baking isn’t just a business—it’s her calling. Her journey began in a moment of personal transformation. After facing challenges in school, her mother made the difficult decision to homeschool her. During this time, Aria not only excelled academically but also discovered her God-given gift: baking.

Aria is now the Owner and Chief Executive Officer of Aria’s Cookies & Confections LLC, proving that when you do what you love, success naturally follows.

Originally from Iowa and now based in Edwardsville, Aria is also a member of Anchored in Truth Ministries, where she sings with the teen/young adult praise and worship team, Called to Greatness (CTG). She has three siblings—Asjah, Alencia, and Axel—who have supported her every step of the way.
