Discover the passion behind our handcrafted cookies.
Welcome to Rebel Ribbon—a celebration of art, creativity, and the magic of family. Our story began in 2017 as Alinka's Custom Cookies, a personal creative outlet for Alinka Chalker. Although baking wasn’t her first passion, her love for art transformed cookie-making into a unique way to celebrate life’s milestones. Through many late nights of self-teaching and overcoming setbacks, she mastered the art of cookie creation, turning every cookie into a heartfelt work of art.
Alinka, now 30, proudly embraces her Mexican roots and lives by the language of cooking. With her supportive husband Tom and her three-year-old son Atom—our official cookie tester—she juggles her role at HEB while nurturing her dream of making Rebel Ribbon her full-time passion.
On February 14, 2025, a long-held dream came true when Alinka’s inseparable sister, Tabata Santiago Kim, joined the venture. At 28, Tabata brings nine years of hospitality expertise from Hyatt, with a keen eye for customer service and sales. Like her sister, Tabata cherishes her Mexican heritage and infuses that vibrant spirit into everything she does. As a devoted mom to one-year-old Penelope—with another little one on the way—and a passionate plant lover who had a custom greenhouse built by her husband Brad, Tabata adds warmth, professionalism, and an eye for detail to our family venture.
For years, these sisters dreamed of working side by side on a project that perfectly blends creativity with expertise. Their unbreakable bond and shared vision have given rise to Rebel Ribbon—a brand where art meets heart. Together, they don’t just make cookies; they craft memories, ensuring that every treat is a celebration of life’s sweetest moments.
At Rebel Ribbon, our mission is to bring joy to every occasion with cookies that are as unique as our customers. We are dedicated to perfection—from selecting premium ingredients to creating eye-catching designs that spark conversation.
We believe every celebration deserves something extraordinary. Our cookies are not just desserts; they are expressions of creativity, passion, and the art of making memorable moments.
