As a cottage baker, I bake in my home kitchen and do not have a storefront. All PRODUCTS ARE PREPARED IN A PRIVATE RESIDENCE THAT IS NOT SUBJECT TO GOVERNMENTAL LICENSE OR INSPECTION.

Custom Orders - it’s best to place these orders at least 2-3 weeks in advance. Too early isn’t a thing! Weddings - 2-3 months notice is preferred but depending on the time of year, we may be able to make a miracle happen for you. Miracle Rush Orders (Less than 7 days Notice) - Granted by request with an additional "Miracle" Rush Fee pending availability

Please use the custom cake request form on our site or send an email to crystals_bakeshoppe@yahoo.com We’ll need to ask the following questions: When is the event? How many guests will you be serving? What flavor cake would you like? What flavor buttercream would you like? Do you have an inspiration photo? Are there any allergies that I need to be aware of? Keep this in mind for a quick and seamless consultation!

We require a minimum order 12 (one dozen) on all treats.

As a Texas Cottage Bakery, I am able to ship stable items across the state of Texas only.

Generally, we prefer to meet you at a public location for everyone’s safety. However, as an alternative we can deliver your order directly to your event location, allowing you to focus on your event preparations without the added stress caring for a cake. With this option, we are available to address and resolve any issues while on-site, ensuring a seamless experience.

All orders are packaged in custom boxes for travel and safekeeping. Cookies and treats can be individually packaged upon request and for a minimal surcharge.

Cookies Can be stored in airtight bags/containers and left on the counter for up to 2 weeks. Can be frozen in airtight containers for approximately 3 months. If cookies were frozen, in order to defrost them, you will need to leave them in the airtight container on the counter overnight. Once they have come to room temp you can then remove them and unpackage them. Cakes If cakes are delivered a day prior to the event, they will need to be kept in their box and refrigerated. Take cake out 2 hours before cutting and serving. Store leftover cake in an airtight container.

We require an 50% deposit in order to hold a date. That deposit is refundable up until midnight 8 days before your event is scheduled. After that time, we have already started prepping items for your order and no refund will be given. The balance is due when you receive your order.

Once an order has been placed and payment has been received, a refund may be offered up to 8 days prior to the booked date. Within 8 days of your booking, work has already begun on your request and no refunds will be given. Once your amazing desserts have been delivered, if you are in anyway unhappy, please reach out to us with your concerns, so that we may address them immediately.

While we are unable to accommodate all last-minute orders, we will make every effort to assist you. Orders placed within seven (7) days of your event, will incur a 15% “Miracle Rush Fee” based on your your order total. Orders placed within forty-eight (48) hours of your event will incur a 25% “Miracle Rush Fee” based on your order total.
