Inspiration photos are wonderful and help me get a better idea of your style, theme, etc., however like any art, I am unable to copy sets exactly. While they will be similar, there will be variations in order to maintain originality.

How do I take care of the cookies?

To savor the finest taste, consuming the cookies within 3 days of receiving them is recommended however cookies can be frozen for up to 3 months in an airtight container for long-term storage. Do not microwave for defrosting, let come to room temperature for 2 hours. To preserve the design, refrain from opening the container while defrosting until the cookies reach room temperature.

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature, keeping different types separate for optimal freshness. Avoid refrigeration as it accelerates cookie dryness; store them in a cool, dry place instead.

Potentially. I work a full-time job and have a family so my availability for delivery is highly dependent on other factors. If I am available, I will deliver locally up to 10 miles for free. Anything over 10 miles will incur an additional charge.
