How can I place a custom cookie order?
Click on the Inquiry tab and fill out the form! I’ll get back to you as soon as possible to confirm whether or not I have availability and with additional information and quote.
How much notice do you need to take on a custom order?
I make custom cookie cutters for many of my orders and need time to ensure that I can order all the correct products for your order. More time will help ensure you can fit into my schedule. I typically stay booked a month out, so the sooner the better.
Do you offer gluten-free or dairy-free cookies?
I do not at this time.
Are you nut-free?
I have a tree nut allergy so I do not bake with tree nuts at all. I do bake with peanuts, if requested, and they are in my home. My cookies contain dairy, wheat, and eggs. I currently do not offer gluten-free cookies. If you have an allergy, please contact me before placing an order.
Do you ship your cookies?
Per Virginia Cottage Food Laws I am unable to ship cookies out of state. However, I do offer shipping within the state.
What is a “Pre-Sale”?
I do pre-sales for most major holidays and as my schedule allows. This means you are able to purchase pre designed cookies for that particular holiday. All cookies will be available for pickup during a designated time. Announcements will be placed on my social media and to my VIP email subscribers. During that time, you’ll be able to purchase cookies on my website! Simply click the “Shop” link and get shopping!
What are the brown specks in my cookies, cakes, and icing?
Those beautiful little brown specks are from vanilla beans! I use only pure Madagascar vanilla in my baked goods, never imitation. The black specks are pieces of the beans or pods. They’re not only edible, they’re also packed with flavor.
Do you offer cake pops or macarons?
Sadly, I cannot offer macarons. I wish I could, however, I cannot due to my tree nut allergy. Those puffy little shells are made from almond flour and although I’ve experimented with other flours, they just don’t work the same.
I do not currently offer cake pops.
Do you offer discounts?
I do not offer discounts. The amount of time and thought that goes into each individual cookie is precious to me, particularly since I work from home and have two young daughters. I take great pride in my work and sincerely enjoy what I do. While I know my prices may not be cheap, I know they are worth it. One way to think about it…you’re getting a Porsche, not a Honda.
Do you offer donations?
I will gladly donate items to local non-profit organizations for door prizes, raffles, etc., if I have availability and it’s for a cause that I support. I only do a very limited amount of donations per year. Please send requests via email with details to 3melonsbakeshop@gmail.com RE: Donation.
