Frequently Asked Questions
“These are expensive”
To put it simply, yes. And no, I cannot do it cheaper. I have over 10 years of experience working on my technique and craft. If this is shocking to you, then I would suggest doing research in the custom decorative cookie market/ how much local competitors charge for their work. I want to keep my business alive and thriving, and I won’t be able to do that unless I charge what I am worth.
Thank you all so much for your continued business and love of cookies!

I live too far from Cape May, can you ship me cookies?
No. Unfortunately, it is illegal to SHIP cookies to customers or to deliver cookies over NJ state lines.
Where can I pick up my cookies?
My home bakery is located in North Cape May, not around the corner from Townbank Fire and Harpoons.
How far in advance should I order?
Custom orders should be placed with a MINIMUM of 3-5 weeks advanced notice. Orders can be placed up to 2 months in advance. Weddings/Large Events (100+ cookies) should be placed at least 2 MONTHS before
*Orders placed with LESS than 2 weeks notice are subject to a rush fee.
What’s in the dough?
My dough recipe was created by my maternal grandmother and is in its 3rd generation of baking. Recipe includes all purpose flour, butter, sugar, eggs, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and vanilla extract. GLUTEN FREEcookies are available at a small upcharge for GF flour costs. (GF NOT suggested for those with ALLERGIES- I do not have a gluten free kitchen)
What’s in the icing?
The icing is not your average decorated cookie icing. IT IS NOT ROYAL ICING. It is called glaze/modified glaze, which consists of powdered sugar, light corn syrup, vanilla extract, and almond milk. The cookies have a soft bite, but the icing dries completely firm and can be packaged tightly. Almond milk can be omitted for nut free cookies.
How many cookies can I order?
ALL custom orders have a minimum amount of 2 dozen cookies. You can order as many as you like, but any orders over 100 cookies needs to be booked at least a month/or two in advance depending on the time of year.
Holiday cookies or special events?
Various holidays and events will have a presale or a flash sale. If you want to be notified ahead of time, please subscribe to my email list! Not every holiday will have a cookie sale though. (All customers are auto-subscribed to text message notifications)
How are the cookies packaged?
Cookies are individually heat sealed for freshness and stacked in a bakery box. This allows the cookies to stay fresh for weeks after the pick up date. Cookies can be packaged with bows, in individual boxes, or with tags for an additional cost.
