Tell me about your cookies!
Sweet Temptations by Nicole's cookies are a Vanilla Bean Sour Cream sugar cookie with the slightest hint of a citrus note and baked with the freshest ingredients possible such as pure vanilla bean paste and lots of love and care. Each cookie is hand decorated with precision to my high standards and I will accept nothing less. You can be sure that when you place an order with me, you are getting the best cookie that I have to offer. I have a passion for this and I hope that translates into each and every order I accept. Seasonally, I may offer other flavors of cookies in my assortments but vanilla is my standard cookie flavor.
How much are your cookies?
The base price for every cookie order starts at $42.00 per dozen. Price is then determined based on several factors: the size of the cookie, the detail requested, the number of colors and the time invested. The best way to get pricing information is to fill out an Order Form and I will send an estimate within 24 hours.
Further Pricing Information:
All cookie orders are individually heat sealed and boxed in a tissue paper lined white chipboard box. If you would like them loose without heat sealing, that is also an option. You may also choose other packaging options for the following fees.
Ribbon tied, heat sealed cello bag for party favors - .75 per cookie
Ribbon tied, heat sealed cello bag for party favors - .75 per cookie
How do I place an order and pay?
After filling out the Order Form and after we have finalized your order, I will email you an invoice. You have 24 hours from the time I sent you the invoice to make your payment. You are NOT added to my Cookie Schedule until payment in full has been received. There are several options available for payment: I prefer PayPal and a link has been provided on your invoice, or I can take credit card information over the phone. I do not accept checks.
Why do I have to pay in full in advance?
Your payment in full guarantees your custom order is on my schedule. As with anything that is custom made, full payment is required. I do not offer refunds for any reason. If you cancel your event, you can carry over the balance to another date. I will not refund any monies paid unless I have to cancel in an emergency, in which case I will refund you 100%.
How much of a notice do you need?
I require no less than a 7 day notice for any order. Anything less is subject to a Rush Fee of 20% or $15.00 - whichever is greater. Rush orders must be paid in full at the time of ordering. Anything less than 3 days is not a possibility as each cookie requires drying time before it can be safely packaged. I tend to book up 4 to 6 weeks in advance, so don't delay in placing your order. If you change the date of your order, for example you scheduled your order for a Saturday morning pickup and you've decided you want to pick them up Thursday, a rush fee must be paid.
Do you have a minimum order?
Yes, cookies are purchased by the dozen with a TWO dozen minimum.
Can you do character cookies/logo cookies?
Due to copyright infringement laws, I am not allowed to sell character or logo cookies. No exceptions. I can try to design a cookie to correlate with your theme, but characters, logo's, etc. are strictly off-limits.
Can you ship your cookies? How about delivery?
No, under the Texas Bakers Bill, it is not legal for me to ship cookies. I do not offer delivery. All orders are to be picked up at my residence.
I would like a specific cookie cutter. Do you have it?
I have hundreds of cookie cutters, so chances are I may have what you need. If I do not, I can order one and the cost will be added to your order. I will retain the cutter. I will do my best to find the cheapest cutter possible.
Do you offer gluten/soy/dairy free cookies?
No, I am unable to produce a cookie with allergy restrictions. I will also disclose, that as a home baker, I do store nuts in my home.
How do I contact you?
I prefer to communicate by email. You may email me at [email protected] or simply click "Contact Me" at the top of the page. I wish to give my customers my undivided attention and respect and that is a difficult thing to do with two children that do not like for their Mommy to talk on the phone. I also like to have a written message to refer to when I am designing your order. I will return your email as promptly as possible.
