Why do you sell out of cookies?

 

Yes, I know it is frustrating.  Believe me, I wish I could take on more!  But honestly custom cookies is really seasonal. I am a one man show on the decorating.  There are times that I would love to hire someone to help decorate.  But it is not a consist job and it takes practice to master some of these techniques.  I am thankful for my family who jumps in to help with baking, boxes, packings and set-up. But the cookie decorating takes hours and skill.  I would hate to show you a sample of an idea and it not match.  

​

What is the difference between Buttercream and Royal Icing?

 

Buttercream is made with butter, milk, vanilla & almond extract and confectionery sugar.

It is creamy and used mainly on cakes.  I use it on cookies to make things that are “fluffy”.  This is my favorite icing because it is the one I have used since I have been baking. However, it does not allow details and dry completely to bag and use as party favors.

 

Royal is made with meringue powder, water, vanilla & almond extract, corn syrup & confectionery sugar.

It is great of sugar cookies to add details and dries completely.  I have tested and tried many different recipes and finally landed on a good mix that I like.  It is perfect for favors!

 

Can you omit the almond extract?

 

Yes, of course!  My sugar cookie recipe is one I have made since I started baking and does contain a teaspoon of Almond Extract.  I also use Almond Extract in my icings because I think it gives them a little something extra!  But I have made cookies and icing without and my testers said they were delicious! 

 

Can you bake Gluten Free Cookies?

 

Yes. There will be an up charge depending on the amount of cookies.

 

How much does a custom order cost?

 

A dozen custom cookies start at $55 and can go to $80 a dozen depending on the design of the cookies and of course the amount of cookies.  If you would like one design verses 4 different designs will also make a difference.
