Ordering Process
You can place an order online via our website or email us if you would like to discuss a bespoke or bulk order. Please email with as much detail as possible, including how many cookies you require and the date you need them by.
Please be aware that whilst we can take inspiration from cookie designs, every decorator has a different style and therefore designs may not be able to be replicated exactly. Cookie designs that are made using royal icing may not be possible, as we use roll out icing.
Whilst every effort has been made to take accurate photos, colours may vary due to monitor/phone screens.
We are working with food colouring and not usual ink, so colours may not match exactly.
Changes can be made once an order has been placed, however it may not always be possible. Please let us know as soon as possible after you have placed your order if you’d like to make changes.

Faults/Complaints
We will make every effort possible to ensure your cookies exceeds your expectations.

We will not be responsible for any faults where the cookies have been placed in an unsuitable place or handled without care and attention.
We try our best to package our cookies so they arrive to you in one piece, however slight damages may occur as they are a freshly baked cookie. Fragile designs may snap/break, please be aware of this before ordering. Unfortunately we cannot refund cookies where minor damage has occurred during transit. 
 
Printing of photos onto cookies & copyright
We use edible ink and edible sheets of paper to print our photos, therefore quality and colours may deteriorate during this process. We advise that you provide us with as high a quality image as possible.
Images with very fine or small writing can often be a challenge to print clearly, therefore where possible, please send images with larger, bold text or alternatively remove the text to simplify the print. We also advise that text is large, bold and a solid colour rather than pastel or lighter shades.
We may occasionally suggest an image is re-designed in order that is can be printed within the parameters of our equipment. Where the re-design request or our ideas are not accepted, we will not provide any refunds should there be any image quality issues.
Edible frosting sheets can get sticky when placed in damp conditions, causing the icing to stick to packaging. Unfortunately this cannot be helped, be aware before ordering.
