FREEZING INSTRUCTIONS

TO FREEZE:

Keep cookies in heat sealed bags, in an airtight container. If cookies are unsealed, stack cookies in an airtight container using parchment paper between each layer.

TO THAW:

Leave unopened container on countertop for at least 3 hours. DO NOT open the container if 3 hrs have not passed, or condensation will form and the designs will be ruined.

Great question! I recommend booking at least one month in advance to ensure you get your preferred date. This also gives me time to order any specialty cookie cutters that may be needed—those can take anywhere from 1 to 3 weeks to arrive, depending on the vendor.

That said, I can occasionally fit in last-minute orders when my schedule allows, so feel free to ask! A rush fee may apply.

Think of it like booking a hair appointment: dates are limited and others are eyeing the same ones. Since everything is appointment-based, it’s best to lock in your spot as soon as possible to avoid missing out!

Pricing starts at $50/dozen for the most basic design.

The quoted price is determined by the intricacy of the design, the number of colors used and the size of the cookie. I do not give quantity discounts and I do not have special wholesale pricing. For certain holidays I may offer an assortment of mini cookies or pre-packaged gift boxes.

Please keep the possibility of breakage into consideration when deciding how many cookies to order.

These edible treats are extremely labor intensive. More cookies means more labor and hours for me! Therefore, I am unable to extend discounts regardless of quantity.

I totally understand your excitement! … but NO.

Sometimes I’m working on your order and packaging down to the minute you pick up! I don’t always have time to take pics.
