Feel free to contact me if you have any additional questions not answered below.
Can you tell me about your cookies?
I'd love to! The Pink Mixing Bowl's cookies are a thick, soft almond vanilla sugar cookie and are decorated with royal icing. They are generous in size and baked fresh at the time of your order - never frozen! I use only the finest & freshest ingredients in my recipe. Lots of love and attention goes into each and every cookie and I'm confident you'll agree they are delicious!
How much are your cookies? Do you have a minimum order?
Cookie prices start at $4.00 per cookie (or $48 per dozen) and character & logo cookies start at $5 each (or $60 per doz), with a 2 dozen minimum order requirement. Prices vary depending on the size of the cookie, amount of detail work / personalization, complexity of the design, icing colors involved, hand painting, and airbrush detailing. A lot of time goes into each order, including custom cookie design, baking, hand decorating, and packaging. I am unable to offer discounts based on the quantity of your order, as more cookies does not equal less work. The best way to get pricing information is to email me or fill out the Contact form located at the top of the page and I will do my best to respond within 24 - 48 hours.
What type of packaging options do you offer? Please refer to the packaging option example photos and descriptions by clicking here. **Please note, it is best to cut the heat sealed bags open with a pair of scissors.
How do I order cookies or contact you?
I prefer to communicate by email. You may email me at thepinkmixingbowl@gmail.com or you can fill out the Contact form located 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 three little children at home. I will return your email as promptly as possible.
**Please note that I do not hold spots on my calendar. If I have not heard back from you within 24 hours, the date you are interested in may go to the next inquiry that I receive. I will confirm with you that your order is booked on my calendar. Price quotes are only good for 30 days and may be subject to change after one month. **
What methods of payment do you accept?
The Pink Mixing Bowl accepts cash, check, or I can invoice you through Paypal. Advance payment is required & reserves your spot on my calendar. In the event that you need to cancel your order, a full refund will be given 3 weeks or more from your scheduled date. Within 2 - 3 weeks from your event, you will receive a 50% refund of your order total. No refunds will be given 2 weeks or less from your event. In the case of an emergency and I am unable to fill the order, I will refund your payment 100%.
How far in advance do I need to order?
A 2-3 week notice is appreciated on all orders, although I often fill up months in advance. 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. This will assure proper planning & attention to detail will be given to your cookies. Anything less than 3 days is not a possibility as each cookie requires drying time before it can be safely packaged.
** Please be aware that I do the following tasks myself: sketch designs, make dough, cut-n-bake, make icing, intricately decorate, wash dishes, photograph, package, answer emails, and try to be a mom and wife. In other words, I am a one-woman cookie machine whose cookie schedule fills up quickly! Contact me EARLY to check on my availability.
**Due to other orders that I have booked and allowing enough time to properly plan & execute you order, I ask that NO changes be made to your order within a week of when it is due.
Can you ship your cookies? How about delivery?
I operate under the Texas Cottage Food Law. By law, I am not allowed to ship cookies. However, I have contacts in other cities and states and may be able to refer you to someone who can fulfill your order. At this time, I do not offer delivery. All orders are picked up from my home in Tomball (near Hwy 249 & Spring Cypress Rd). I do not have retail business hours, so a pick-up time will need to be established. I respectfully ask that you stick to the established time. I am a wife and mother, and I have a busy schedule myself. I cannot be tied to my house waiting for late clients. Please treat your pickup times as any other appointment, and be punctual. If for some reason you are delayed, (traffic, unforeseen circumstances, etc) please let me know so we can make alternative arrangements.
**Once orders are exchanged, The Pink Mixing Bowl is no longer liable for any damage caused to the cookies by improper handling or storage. This also applies to exchanges via third party member.
I have a specific design or shape in mind. Am I limited to only what I see?
Absolutely not! I have over 1,000 cookie cutters, so chances are I may have what you need or I can order a specific cookie cutter. I'd love to create custom cookies for your event. Colors and designs can be customized to fit with your theme, invitation, decorations, etc.
How long will the cookies stay fresh? Do I need to refrigerate them?
Your cookies will remain fresh for up to a week as long as they are stored in a cool & dry environment, and remain sealed up in an air tight container (cello baggies, etc.). Refrigeration is not necessary or recommended.
Do you offer allergen/gluten/soy/dairy free cookies?
No, I am unable to produce a cookie with allergy restrictions. My cookies contain eggs, butter, flour, sugar and flavorings (including almond extract). My icing contains meringue powder (powdered egg whites). I will also disclose, that as a home baker, I store nuts in my home.
**The Pink Mixing Bowl is a home based business and operates under the Texas Cottage Food Law. State law requires me to let you know that I bake in a home kitchen that is not inspected by the Department of State Heath Services or a local health department. I can assure you that every possible care is taken to insure clean, sanitary conditions. I am current on my Texas Food Handlers Basic Food Safety and Voluntary Safe Food Handling Course for Cottage Food Operators.
