Cookie Order FAQs
How much do your cookies cost?
Please see the “Cookie Inquiry” page for information on pricing.
How many designs do you do per dozen?
I limit the number of designs to 3-4/dozen.
What flavors do you offer?
My only flavor I offer year round is my basic vanilla sugar cookies. Occasionally during the holidays, I might offer a fun festive flavor exclusive to that occasion.
What allergies should I be aware of?
My cookies contain dairy, wheat, and eggs. While I do not use nut products in my cookies, my kitchen is not a nut free zone. I also do not currently do gluten free cookies.
How long will your cookies stay fresh?
Cookies will stay good in an airtight container for up to at least 2 weeks. Cookies can be frozen as well. When freezing cookies, use a ziplock bag and an airtight container. Be sure to thaw and let the cookies come to room temp in the original container and bag to prevent colors from bleeding.
Are your cookies made from scratch?
Yes! I make the cookies and all the icing myself. (I can’t make these questions up people…)
But do your cookies actually taste good?
Duh.
How far in advance do I need to order?
I usually need at least 2 weeks notice for an order if I am not already booked. I usually stay booked about a month in advance. I also only book about 3 months out at a time (to save my sanity). I usually have my calendars posted on social media.
Can you do rush orders?
If I am not booked (or not needing sleep that week…), I might be able to fit a rush order in. A rush fee will be applied. A rush order is anything under 10 days notice.
Can I get a custom order the week of a Holiday?
Unfortunately, right now I do not take custom orders the week of a major Holiday (Christmas, Thanksgiving, Valentine’s Day, Easter, Teacher Appreciation Week, etc.). These are big cookie ordering Holidays and in order to accommodate more clients, I offer a special with a range of values.
Where are you located?
Decatur, TX. Local pick up only. I have clients drive from all over to get their cookies 🙂
Do you ship?
No.
Can you individually bag the cookies for me?
I can! I charge $.50/cookie to bag and tie them with coordinating ribbon.
I'm not using the cookies right away, how do I store them?
Cookies will stay good in an airtight container for up to at least 2 weeks. Cookies can be frozen as well. When freezing cookies, use a ziplock bag and an airtight container. Be sure to thaw and let the cookies come to room temp in the original container and bag to prevent colors from bleeding.
Can you accommodate a large order?
Yes! I have done wedding favors, corporate favors, and large holiday orders. Large orders (over $200) require half a deposit down to reserve the date. The remaining balance is due 2 weeks before the event.
Do you offer gift cards?
Yes! I have gift certificates for the amount of your choice. You can purchase that in my online store – it is good towards a cookie order or ordering tools/cutters from my website.
Do you offer discounts?
No, I do not offer discounts. The amount of time and thought that goes into each individual cookie is precious to me. I take great pride in my work and enjoy what I do. While I know my prices are not cheap, I know they are worth it.
Will you donate to my fundraiser/event?
Each year I carefully choose where I make my donations. While I might already have plans for that year, it never hurts to ask!
Cookie Class FAQs
When are your classes?
Classes are usually scheduled a month or so in advance. Ideally, I would LOVE to host a couple of classes a month. However, my schedule does not always allow it.
Typically my beginner classes are on Sundays or a weeknight. My intermediate and advanced classes are usually on a Saturday (to allow people traveling time to get here).
Where are your classes located?
All of my classes are taught in my home. I live in Decatur, TX. My exact address and directions will be given after your spot in the class is purchased.
How many people are in a class?
My beginner classes hold up to 12 people. I max my intermediate and advanced classes at 10 to allow a little extra space for our work areas.
Is there an age limit?
Yes, but that is decided by you. I kindly ask that you use your best judgement on whether your child is mature enough to sit through a 2.5 hour class without disturbing my other students. I do understand that some 8 year olds are more mature than some 14 year olds, therefore I don’t have an exact age limit. Please be respectful to others that have purchased the class and have come to learn.
Will you come to my home and teach?
Unfortunately, at this time I am unable to offer this. I am a one woman show and my schedule is already packed as it is.
Will you do a corporate event?
I would love to come to your corporate event if my schedule allows it! Please e-mail me for more info.
Do I have to have experience?
For my beginner class – no experience is necessary! My intermediate requires basic experience and my advanced requires more.
While I do require you to have come to one of my beginner classes before attending an intermediate – it is encouraged if you have limited experience with royal icing. Same with the advanced class.
Do you offer private classes?
I do! Private classes are charged hourly ($125/hour) and have a 2 hour minimum. The time will be completely tailored to your needs (as beginner or advanced as you’d like).
