Thebrgrowth of local businesses in Corpus Christi is booming, and CoastalbrConfections is one of the many new additions. With a coastal flare and menubritems made from scratch, Codie Crawford brings her palate pleasing talents tobrthe Lamar Park area.

Asbra small child, Codie spent quality time with her mother, baking up deliciousbrtreats for friends and family. This passion for baking grew into a desire tobrown a small bakery as an adult. Codie knew that when the time was right tobrpursue this dream, Corpus Christi would be the perfect location. “ I’ve alwaysbrloved Corpus and its great sense of community,” she says. After spending somebrtime pursuing her career in San Antonio and Dallas, Codie received a phone callbrfrom her mother about a vacant location on South Alameda, perfect for abrbakery.

Codiebrcarries a variety of fun, flavorful creations that are perfect for breakfast, abrmidday snack, or an end of the day pick me up. Flavor combinations likebrPineapple Upside Down Cake, Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treat, Fruity Pebbles Treat,brand Chocolate Sea Shells are a definite delight at any time of the day. The Four Seas cookie perfectly showcasesbrCodie’s creativity. The cream-filled cookie covered in blue tinted whitebrchocolate is perfect for a baby or bridal shower.

Althoughbrthe double fudge brownie is hailed as a customer favorite, all items on Codie’sbrexpanding menu pack a flavorful punch. Each recipe is a spinoff of her favoritebrchildhood recipes. Her personal favorite is the oatmeal cookie. What was oncebran oatmeal raisin cookie is now a tasty blend of oatmeal, butterscotch, coconutbrflakes, and cinnamon chips.

Codiebralso bakes custom cakes from scratch. Some of her kid-friendly creations includebrunicorns and Fortnite. She also offers more sophisticated choices such as a chocolatebrcake covered in Oreo frosting and a white chocolate ganache. Not one to straybrfrom her coastal flare, Codie also includes ocean sunsets, sharks, and waves inbrher custom themes.
