Making Custom Orders

Custom ordering has been hopping lately.  And I'm so excited to get some of them done!  I've gotten requests from 600 pretzels, to large cookie batches, to rocket-ship food! 

It might be my favorite thing, to come online and see I've got multiple request for large work.  I really appreciate my work getting noticed!  I love making sweets more than anything, and large batches rock!

Some things to keep in mind when ordering a large batch. 

  • Always let the shop know how many people you're buying for.  They can't give an accurate quote with out a number!
  • Make sure to say what kind of an event it is!  And with nummycrummies, don't worry about wedding "price quotes"  I don't agree with the 20% increase in price just for saying WEDDING! My prices are either consistent with what I sell, or cheaper in bulk orders.  
  • Always mention what you're interested in.  And if there are any allergies the shop owner needs to be aware of.
  • Make sure to say when the event is!  I need to know if I have enough time for all my other orders to take on one more!  I want to make sure that every order gets enough time to make the products perfect.
  • Pre-read the store policies!  Many simple questions about custom orders/batches can be found in there.  If not, then feel free to ask!
  • Mention what zip code we're going to ship to!  It makes shipping quotes much easier!
Even if you do none (or all!) of these tips, I'll still always work with you on your orders!  It expedites the process if we get all the information up front! =)
