Hi everyone! I get lots of questions about pricing and how it all works so I’m going to pin this post and refer potential customers to this page from now on. Here’s a list of FAQ!
1) How much are your cookies?
$45 per dozen for standard, basic cookies with royal icing. I reserve the right to charge more for an order if special requests are made such as lots of tiny details, airbrush details, more than 4 designs, more than a few colors of icing, or if I will need to order expensive cookie cutters of specialty characters. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve spent over $20 buying cookie cutters for a set that I made $45 on. That really cuts into my profit margin, unfortunately. A small fee may be added in the future for such instances. I LOVE doing cookies and I love making them as beautiful as possible, so please don’t feel like what you want is going to be a burden, or cost too much. Just message me and we’ll figure out a fair price for you to have the cookies of your dreams!
2) How far in advance should I place an order?
As EARLY as possible. That helps me prepare for your order by making sure I have the cookie cutters, correct bags, food coloring, etc. that I’ll need to finish your cookies. I’m going to try and adhere to a strict policy of one month out. But message me and I’ll be happy to look at my calendar and see if I’ve got the time and supplies 😃
3) Will you do a rush order? What is a rush order?
A rush order is when you forget you’re going to need cookies for an event and order some at the last minute. I will do rush orders for people whose events are less than two weeks away for a $20 flat rate fee. This is what I’ve come up with to be fair to both you and me. Rush orders almost always require me to at least stay up over 24 hours decorating cookies 😬
4) When will I be able to pick up my cookies? Cookies will be ready on the date you give me for the order. So if you have an event on a Sunday, but know you will want to pick them up on Friday, please give me the date you’re wanting to pick up 😃
5) How far in advance can I pick-up cookies?
All of my cookies are sealed in plastic bags, so they’re perfect for party guests who are on the go. You can pick them up two weeks prior to an event and have zero issues with freshness or quality. I’ve eaten cookies that were 4 weeks old that tasted as good as the day I baked them. So if you have leftover cookies, you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy them as well.
6) Do you ship?
I do! There’s a $20 flat rate fee for shipping. When calculating the date you’ll need to provide me, please pick a date 5-6 days before your event. They might arrive early. But that’s better than arriving late!
I’m sure there are other questions I totally forgot to address in this post, so feel free to comment below or message me!
One last thing—please don’t put me in the awkward position of asking for a better deal. It hasn’t happened to me yet and I’m hoping it never does. Since these are handmade, that would feel about as good as a slap in the face. I work tirelessly on my cookies and truly see them as my art. But beyond that, supplies are soooo expensive right now. Between the ingredients, the bags, parchment paper, piping bags, airbrush supplies, etc. I put a lot of money into my raw materials. So prices are firm but fair 😊
