MARISOL MORLEY
FOUNDER | Ceo | master treatmaker 

Marisol Morley is a first-generation, born-and-bred New Yorker. She grew up in the heart of the Upper East Side, in a fourth floor walkup, with her parents, two siblings, and one tiny kitchen. There, she learned that limited space was never an excuse for quality or quantity. On any given night, endless tapas, a beautiful Paella and pitchers of Sangria would magically emerge from that small-even-for-NYC kitchen.

Marisol was five when she asked her mother to teach her to make a cake. Pretty soon she was making meringues, coconut ice cream, Colombian parva cookies and flan. Twenty-nine years, a career in the music industry, and many other jobs later, she went back to her roots. What started as a pastime of making cookie boxes as gifts for friends and family, lead to the birth of Tiny Kitchen Treats.

In 2017, Marisol moved the team into their long-dreamed-of bakeshop in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Even though the kitchen was much bigger and Tiny Kitchen Treats cookies were in HIGH demand – by royals and top brands alike— the shop still kept the order minimum at 2 dozen in a long-promised effort to keep their cookies accessible.

Unfortunately, like many other small businesses, 2020 brought a whirlwind of change. TKT fought hard to stay open, but in March 2021- the shop closed its doors. Marisol too left her beloved Upper East Side. Good-bye to being just down the block from that old brownstone and a stone’s throw away from everything she had ever know.

The story doesn’t end here though. Stories are meant to keep going. Long after the author writes the last page and first-generation babies are pretty good at seeing endings in their true-form- new beginnings.

For now, Tiny Kitchen Treats resides in Wilton, CT with her husband, their two kids (and one more on the way) and their labs, Charlie and Luna- quietly creating cookies for brand content and media partnerships and of course still baking for family, friends, and the occasional celebrity request.
