All orders must be placed at least 2 weeks (3-4 weeks is ideal) before pick up date. My advice is to inquire as soon as you know you need cookies, the sooner you book, more likely that I will have availability. A 15% rush fee per dozen applies to orders placed less than two weeks from pickup date.
That is okay! Send me photos of cookies you like or better yet, send me photos of invitations, décor, florals, or any other visuals that may help with the design process of your cookie set so I can match with your theme.
Yes! Okay, maybe not yet, but I have a 3D printer and can create cutters to match any theme. I can also do designs on plaque cutters as well.
I will do my best! I cannot guarantee an exact match, but I will get as close as possible. Colors can skew from phone and computer monitors to real life. For the best color match, if you can get me a swatch or invitation in person, that would be the best.
Every cookie is individually packaged and heat-sealed for freshness. Cookies stay fresh for 1-2 weeks from pick up date, stored at room temperature or in a cool, dry area.
Decorated sugar cookies can be frozen and, if done properly, stay good (and delicious) for about a month to 45 days.

I am located in Branford, Connecticut. Pretty Sweet Creations is a licensed Cottage Food Operation, which means I am registered with the state of Connecticut and follow its Cottage Food Laws. My kitchen is not subject to routine government food safety inspections, but I am required to have a food handler certificate and follow all safety and cleanliness standards.
Unfortunately, I cannot. I operate under Connecticut's Cottage Food Law and that doesn’t allow for shipping.

My kitchen is not nut free and my cookies may contain milk, eggs, wheat, peanuts, soybeans, tree nuts.
I don't make gluten free or vegan cookies. If you have a dietary restriction that is not allergy related, let me know and I can try to alter my recipe to accommodate you.

These cookies take so much time! Decorating cookies can take at least two hours a dozen. And, that doesn’t include the invoicing and responding to emails, planning out the designs, cleaning and sanitizing the kitchen, making the dough; making, coloring, and bagging the icing, drying time, or packaging the cookies. So, the total time for a dozen cookies can be around 6-8 hours. Crazy right? Yes, custom decorated cookies are expensive. But they are so much more than a frosted cookie, they are edible pieces of art to help make your event a little extra special.
