  • What is your minimum order?

    Custom decorated cookies have a 2 dozen minimum. Orders start at $96 per dozen, with pricing increasing based on design complexity.

    ______

    How far in advance should I order?

    As soon as you know your date. I recommend reaching out several weeks in advance, especially during holidays and graduation season. Last-minute availability is never guaranteed.

    ______

    How do I place an order?

    Complete the inquiry form with your event details and inspiration. I'll confirm availability, discuss your design, and provide a quote.

    ______

    Do you require a deposit?

    Yes. A 50% non-refundable retainer secures your order on my calendar. The remaining balance is due two weeks prior to pickup.

  • Can you match my invitation, color palette, or event theme?

    Yes. Every collection is designed specifically for your event and can be inspired by invitations, logos, color palettes, mood boards, or other inspiration you provide.

    ______

    Will my cookies look exactly like my inspiration photos?

    No. Inspiration helps guide the design, but every collection is an original Katie Eats Boston design. I don't replicate another decorator's work exactly.

    ______

    Can you create cookies featuring logos or copyrighted images?

    Yes. Clients are responsible for ensuring they have the right to use any logos, licensed characters, or other copyrighted artwork they submit. By providing artwork, you represent that you have obtained any necessary rights or permissions.

    ______

    Can every cookie be personalized?

    Absolutely. Names, monograms, ages, messages, and other personalized details can often be incorporated into your set, depending on the design.

    ______

    What if I don't know exactly what I want?

    That's completely fine. Some clients send a detailed Pinterest board, while others simply tell me the occasion and trust me with the rest. Those are often my favorite projects.

  • Where are pickups?

    Pickup is in Needham, Massachusetts by appointment. The exact pickup address and instructions are provided prior to your scheduled pickup.

    ______

    How long do the cookies stay fresh?

    Every cookie is individually heat sealed to maintain freshness. When stored at room temperature in its sealed packaging, cookies stay fresh for approximately 2–3 weeks.

    ______

    How are the cookies packaged?

    Every cookie is individually heat sealed at no additional charge, making them easy to transport, display, gift, and distribute at events while helping maintain freshness.
    ______

    Can I freeze them?

    Yes. Leave the cookies sealed in their packaging and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw completely before opening the packaging to prevent condensation.

  • Do your cookies contain allergens?

    My standard sugar cookies contain wheat, dairy, eggs, and almond extract. While my licensed residential kitchen follows ServSafe food safety and sanitation practices, it is not a dedicated allergen-free facility.

    If you have questions about specific ingredients or food allergies, please reach out before placing your order.
    ______

    Can you make gluten-free or vegan cookies?

    At this time, I do not offer gluten-free or vegan custom decorated cookies.

  • Do you work with businesses and brands?

    Yes. I partner with businesses, organizations, and brands to create custom decorated cookies for employee appreciation, conferences, recruiting events, client gifts, product launches, and other branded events. Corporate orders are quoted individually based on project scope, quantity, packaging, and design requirements.

    Can you create cookies featuring logos or copyrighted images?

    Yes. Clients are responsible for ensuring they have the right to use any logos, licensed characters, or other copyrighted artwork they submit. By providing artwork, you represent that you have obtained any necessary rights or permissions.
