Our First TikTok Shop Buyers: Thank You for Supporting Cooper’s Kitchen

Our First TikTok Shop Buyers: Thank You for Supporting Cooper’s Kitchen

This week, we celebrated something small but mighty — our very first six jars of Strawberry Blossom Fruit Snacks sold on TikTok Shop. For us at Cooper’s Kitchen, this milestone means more than just a number. It’s proof that people are excited about better-for-you snacks, made with real fruit and real care. To those first buyers: we can’t thank you enough. You’re part of our beginning, and you’re helping us share a vision of healthier snacking with the world.

In this post, we’ll talk about:

  • Why those first six jars mean so much

  • What makes our fruit snacks different from traditional candy

  • The functional benefits of our recipe — Vitamin C, fiber, plant-based ingredients

  • How we’re bringing “Made in Georgia” flavor to the healthy snack space

  • What’s next for Cooper’s Kitchen on TikTok Shop and beyond


A Milestone Worth Celebrating

Every brand starts somewhere. For us, it was standing in a commercial kitchen in Hapeville, Georgia, handcrafting our first official batch of fruit snacks. Small-batch cooking, testing textures with agar agar, balancing sweetness with golden Georgia honey, and making sure every jar tastes like real strawberries.

When the first six jars sold on TikTok Shop, it wasn’t just about revenue. It was about validation — that people really are craving fruit snacks with no artificial flavors, no fake colors, and no compromises.

For small businesses, those first orders aren’t just transactions. They’re encouragement, they’re energy, they’re fuel to keep creating.


Why Strawberry Blossom Fruit Snacks Are Different

There are plenty of snacks out there, but most of them are either loaded with sugar or stripped of real nutrition. That’s where Cooper’s Kitchen comes in.

Here’s what makes our snacks stand out:

  • Made with real strawberries — We don’t rely on syrups or artificial flavorings. Every jar starts with puréed strawberries, fresh lemon juice, and natural honey.

  • Plant-based and gelatin-free — Instead of gelatin, we use agar agar, a seaweed-derived ingredient, to give the snacks a soft, chewy texture.

  • Functional benefits — With 94% of your daily Vitamin C per jar, plus fiber and antioxidants, our snacks work as hard as they taste good.

  • Low calorie — At just 5 calories per gummy, and only 150 calories per jar, these are snacks you can enjoy every day without guilt.

  • Crafted in Georgia — We’re proud to be part of the “Made in Atlanta” food movement. Our small-batch approach means care goes into every single jar.


The Functional Side of Snacking

Healthy snacks aren’t just about fewer calories. They’re about function — fueling your body with nutrients that help you thrive.

Vitamin C

Each jar contains 94% of your daily Vitamin C, making these snacks not only delicious but supportive of your immune system.

Fiber

With 3 grams of fiber per jar, our fruit snacks help promote digestion and keep you feeling satisfied longer.

Plant-Based Goodness

Being gelatin-free makes our snacks vegan-friendly and inclusive for anyone who avoids animal products. Using agar agar also gives them a unique, soft bite that feels lighter than traditional gummies.

No Artificial Additives

We keep it simple: no added colors, no artificial flavorings, and no preservatives that don’t belong in food. Just strawberries, honey, lemon juice, and plant-based gelling agents.


Why Being “Made in Georgia” Matters

There’s something special about food that reflects where it’s made. Our snacks aren’t from a faceless factory — they’re handcrafted in a shared kitchen in Hapeville, just outside Atlanta.

By sourcing local strawberries and using Georgia honey, we’re keeping our product tied to its roots. When you buy a jar of Strawberry Blossom Fruit Snacks, you’re not just buying candy. You’re supporting a new wave of Atlanta food entrepreneurs who believe in freshness, quality, and authenticity.


TikTok Shop: Where Our Story Begins

Selling directly on TikTok Shop gives us a chance to connect with people in a way traditional stores can’t. TikTok is fast-moving, trend-driven, and full of people who love discovering unique products. It’s the perfect place for us to share the story behind our gummies and show that snacks can be both fun and functional.

The fact that our very first jars sold there tells us we’re in the right place. TikTok buyers are curious, adventurous, and eager to try something new. And now, thanks to those first orders, Cooper’s Kitchen is officially in the hands of real customers across the U.S.


Healthy Snacks for Modern Lifestyles

People today want snacks that fit into busy schedules without sacrificing health. That’s why we designed our Strawberry Blossom Fruit Snacks with:

  • On-the-go convenience — Each jar is portable, resealable, and easy to toss in a bag.

  • Low-calorie energy — At only 5 calories per piece, they’re perfect for a quick afternoon boost.

  • Fitness-friendly benefits — Runners, gym-goers, and active lifestyles benefit from the Vitamin C and fiber.

  • Kid-friendly sweetness — Parents can feel good about giving these to kids, knowing they’re made with real fruit.


Looking Ahead

Six jars is just the beginning. From here, we’ll be:

  • Expanding flavors beyond Strawberry Blossom

  • Introducing functional varieties like Protein Gummies and Energy Gummies

  • Partnering with local Georgia farmers for seasonal flavors

  • Growing our presence on TikTok Shop with fun, snackable videos

Every sale helps us take the next step — whether it’s scaling production, investing in packaging, or simply reaching more people who want a healthier snack option.


A Final Thank You

To our first TikTok Shop buyers: thank you. You’re helping us prove that healthy fruit snacks can be just as crave-worthy as candy, without the junk. You’re supporting a small business that believes in real fruit, plant-based ingredients, and functional nutrition. And most importantly, you’re part of the very first chapter of Cooper’s Kitchen.

We’re just getting started, and we’re so glad you’re here with us. 🍓
