PLYMOUTH — Stepping into Jessica Brainsky's humble home kitchen, you'd never know it's where edible artwork is made.
Her white oven can only bake 12 cookies at a time, her Kitchen Aid mixer sits off to the side and there's no sign that the middle-school-counselor-by-day spends dozens of hours each evening and weekend making and hand decorating intricate sugar cookies that wouldn't be out of place on any Food Network baking show.
"This is an art form for me," she said on a recent spring day in that very kitchen. "It's great to be able to just run with my creativity. . . My favorite thing is when a client says 'I trust you' and just gives me that creative freedom."
