Frequently Asked Questions

Where are you located?

I’m located in Central, Kentucky – Nicholasville, KY specifically. In the Orchard Division, however I do offer pick ups periodically in Lexington. 

What is your pricing?

Since my treats are custom, prices will vary depending upon what you are ordering.  We will discuss detailed pricing before an invoice is sent you so you are comfortable with what you will pay! No surprises here! 

When will I get my order?

We will work quickly to ship your order as soon as possible. Once your order has shipped, you will receive an email with further information. Delivery times vary depending on your location.

How late can I order?

If I am not booked out already, I’ll need about 2 weeks to source the supplies, ingredients and designs for your order. Under a week before you need your treat? Ask me! I still may be able to take your order for a fast track fee of $25.

Allergens and Gluten?

I’m not an allergy-friendly not gluten-free bakery, but I have good recommendations on bakers who are gluten/allergy conscious. My ingredients include, eggs, butter and flour and are baked in a cottage kitchen that contains nuts. 

Do you offer delivery?

Cottage bakers in Kentucky cannot ship (I wish I could!), and I don’t offer delivery (except for weddings) but I do offer really flexible pick up options in both Nicholasville and Lexington.
