I specialize in custom, hand-decorated sugar cookies finished with smooth royal icing. Each cookie is designed and decorated individually, making them perfect for birthdays, weddings, showers, corporate events, and meaningful gifts.

Getting started is simple. Reach out through our cookie request form or schedule a call and I’ll walk you through the next steps and answer any questions along the way.

The earlier, the better. It isn’t uncommon for clients to place their orders months in advance. Because every order is custom and decorated by hand, advance notice is required.

I recommend submitting your inquiry 2–4 weeks in advance whenever possible. Larger orders and peak seasons may require additional lead time.

If your event is sooner, feel free to reach out. I’ll always let you know if availability allows.

Rush orders may be available on a limited basis and are subject to an additional fee of $20 per dozen. Availability depends on my current order volume and design complexity.

My cookies start at $75.00 per dozen. Pricing is based on:

• Design complexity

• Number of colors and details

• Size and shape of cookies

• Quantity ordered

Because no two orders are the same, custom quotes are provided after reviewing your request.

Custom sugar cookies are a very labor-intensive product. Each dozen can take up to five hours to complete, depending on the design and level of detail. That time includes baking, mixing multiple icing colors and consistencies, hand-piping designs, drying between layers, and careful packaging.

Every set is designed specifically for your event and decorated entirely by hand. You’re not just purchasing cookies, you’re investing in custom, edible artwork made with high-quality ingredients and a great deal of care.

Yes. A minimum order of one dozen is required for custom cookies. This helps ensure I can give each order the time and attention it deserves.

Each cookie is:

• Individually heat-sealed for freshness

• Carefully packaged in window top boxes to protect the designs

This also makes them perfect for gifting or favors.

When heat-sealed and stored properly at room temperature, cookies stay fresh for 2–3 weeks (often longer). Refrigeration is not recommended to preserve the design.

Our cookies are ideal for freezing and maintain their freshness for several months when stored properly.

Unfortunately, I am unable to ship cookies outside of CA due to the cottage bakery laws.

Yes. I operate as a licensed cottage bakery with no storefront. Pickup details are provided after your order is confirmed. For a fee I offer deliveries.

Absolutely. Matching themes, color palettes, invitations, and logos is one of my favorite parts of the process. I encourage you to share inspiration images when submitting your inquiry.

I can create character-inspired designs, but I do not replicate copyrighted characters exactly. Designs are original and customized to capture the spirit of your theme.

Cookies are made in a home kitchen that may handle common allergens including dairy, eggs, wheat, and nuts. While I take care with ingredients, I cannot guarantee allergen-free products.

Side Hustle Cookie Company is a licensed California Cottage Food Operation (CFO). My home kitchen operates under California cottage food laws and required health guidelines, and I am also ServSafe certified, having completed formal food safety, sanitation, and handling training.

Because custom cookies are made specifically for your event, orders are non-refundable once confirmed. Changes may be accommodated depending on timing and production stage.

I happily accept Zelle, Venmo, PayPal, or cash.
