Inspired by his older brother who started RobbieBԪַs Canine Cookies when in 2018 he was six, Rylann Bryant (age 9) is introducing RylannBԪַs Cat Cookies to market.
Rylann, a fourth-grader at Royston Elementary, started the BԪַtest marketBԪַ phase of his business in 2022 when he was eight years old. After testing a few recipes to see which one cats like better, the final recipe includes catnip.
Like his brother, he will donate $1 of each $3 bag to help animals at the SPCA, from which his grandparents adopted the family dog, Cosmo.
The young entrepreneur designed his label and does all the work to measure, mix, and bake the cookies. Then he weighs each bag to ensure itBԪַs at least 100 grams and labels them. He delivers them on his bike to Just Like MomBԪַs self-serve bakery in Union BayBԪַthe outlet for both boysBԪַ animal cookies, thanks to owners Bev and Franc who have a soft spot for helping kids and animals.
In addition to Just Like MomBԪַs Self-Serve Bakery in Union Bay, cat cookies can be special ordered by emailing Rylann at dazzlesrazzles@gmail.com
