Day 1 - The Design
Following our consultation, I begin sketching your custom cookie designs, selecting a cohesive color palette, and planning any custom cutters or hand-cut designs needed to bring your vision to life. From there, I organize my baking and decorating schedule to ensure your cookies are freshly prepared and ready for your scheduled pickup date!
Day 2 - The Dough
The flour is flying, and the sugar is flowing! Your cookie dough is mixed, rolled, and cut into the custom shapes designed just for your set. Once every cookie is shaped, the dough gets to rest and chill overnight. This important step helps ensure your cookies hold their shape and bake up beautifully, ready for the decorating magic ahead!
Day 3 - The Drama
It’s the BIG DAY! Your chilled dough is ready to bake, transforming into the custom cookie shapes designed just for your set. While your cookies bake to buttery perfection, it’s time to prepare the royal icing! Fresh batches are mixed, divided, and carefully colored to match your custom palette. Once the cookies have cooled, we begin flooding each one with its base layer of icing. Then, the hardest part begins: letting them dry overnight before the decorating magic continues!
Day 4 - The Details
This might be my favorite day. This is the day I get to bring each of your custom cookie’s stories to life. From florals to metallics, custom fonts and hand-made royal icing transfers, I adore getting lost in the details.
Day 5 - The Delivery
Yay! Your cookies are ready! Each cookie is individually heat-sealed to preserve freshness and carefully packaged in its pastry box, ready to make someone’s day a little sweeter. It’s the moment you receive your special order. After all the planning, baking, and decorating, I can finally send a little piece of Farmer Bakes home with you!
