Custom Cookie FAQs

How much do custom decorated cookies cost in Indianapolis?
Our custom royal iced decorative cookies start at $48 per dozen. Final pricing depends on the size, the number of colors, and how detailed the design is, so very intricate or multi-color sets can run higher. Need just a few today? In-stock royal iced cookies are available individually for same-day pickup at ordersweets.net, $4 each or $5 for extra-large and premium designs.
Is there a minimum order for custom cookies?
Yes. Custom decorated cookies are ordered by the dozen, so one dozen is the smallest custom set. If you only need a few cookies today, our in-stock royal iced cookies are available individually for same-day pickup at ordersweets.net.
How far in advance should I order custom cookies?
We strongly recommend placing custom cookie orders at least 2 to 3 weeks in advance. Our busiest seasons are March, April, May, October, and the December holidays, so for events in those months, and for large or highly detailed orders, the earlier you reach out, the better.
Can you match my party colors, theme, or invitation?
Absolutely. Color and theme matching is one of our favorite parts. Our cake artists are happy to design cookies around your color palette, party theme, or even your invitation suite. Just share photos or color details when you request your quote and we will build the design to match.
Can you put my company logo on cookies for a corporate event?
Yes. Logo and branded cookies are a great fit for corporate events, grand openings, and client gifts. Send us your logo and brand colors with your quote request and we will recreate them in royal icing. Logo sets are ordered by the dozen like our other custom cookies, starting at $48 per dozen and quoted based on detail.
Are the cookies individually wrapped for favors?
Yes. Individually wrapped cookies are one of our most popular shower and party favors, alongside cake pops, cake bites, chocolate covered Oreos, pretzel rods, and crispy rice treats. Individual sealing also keeps each cookie fresh and ready to hand out or send home with guests.
How long do decorated cookies stay fresh and how should I store them?
Royal iced sugar cookies keep well for one to two weeks when stored in a sealed bag or airtight container at room temperature, once the icing has fully set. Because our favor cookies are individually sealed, they travel and store beautifully right up to your event. Keep them out of direct heat and humidity for the best texture.
Do you ship custom cookies, or do I pick them up?
We do not ship. Custom cookie orders are picked up at our shop at 7745 S. Meridian Street in Indianapolis. For larger celebrations, local delivery and setup is available on orders of $350 and up throughout Central Indiana, with the fee based on distance and timing.
Can you make gluten free or allergy-friendly cookies?
We offer limited gluten free and vegan options, though we cannot combine gluten free and vegan in one item, and intricate decorated designs are best in our standard recipe. Our kitchen works with most major allergens and we cannot guarantee against cross-contamination, so please tell us about any allergies when you order and we will walk through what we can do.
What do the cookies actually taste like?
These are soft, made-from-scratch vanilla sugar cookies finished with our house royal icing, so they are as delicious as they are pretty. As a family-owned boutique bakery, we pride ourselves on treats that look amazing and taste incredible, never the rock-hard decorated cookies people sometimes expect.
Do I have to pay in full to place a custom order, and how long is my quote good for?
Yes. Custom orders are paid in full to secure your spot on our calendar, and quotes are valid for 24 hours. Because every order is custom, this policy keeps our small family kitchen reserved for confirmed orders so we can give every design the attention it deserves.
