Custom Orders
Looking for something other than our Everyday Classics or the Bake of the Week? We’d love to work with you to make a special treat!
We are able to complete a limited number of custom orders each week, so it’s better to contact us as early as possible to secure your spot. The custom order schedule fills up on a first-come, first-served basis. Popular days can fill up weeks or months in advance.
Please also be aware that we are a Cottage Food Operation, which allows us to bake out of a home kitchen. This also means that there are some restrictions on the baked goods that can be made and sold.
Custom orders can be made at least 48 hours ahead (although a longer time may be necessary for larger orders). A custom order is not accepted until all details are confirmed and full prepayment has been made.
After receiving your order, we’ll call you to confirm all the details and place your custom order. In the event your desired date isn’t available, we can explore other options.
