Generally Speaking...:
|
We recommend a cool, dry place for just about everything. The refrigerator is cool, but NOT dry, so not the best place for your sweets.
|
All gift boxes have an expiration date on them, which is two weeks from the date they were made. Cookies that are loose should be stored in an airtight container for up to four days. Brownies, whoopie pies & cupcakes are tastiest within 24 hours.
|
With the exception of gelato from Il Laboratorio del Gelato and chocolates from Cary Mo Chocolates & Confections, we would not dream of serving you anything we did not make with our own two hands. That includes everything from our baked goods right down to the chocolate syrup for our hot cocoa.
|
We would never want the rest of the country to miss out, so we ship our gift boxes of cookies and whoopie pies to all 50 states. Take a little trip to Brooklyn to enjoy our cupcakes, cakes and other creations… you’ll be glad you did!
|
Yes you can! And yes you should! Though we bake everything on the same day that it is shipped, advance notice is most appreciated. For orders being picked up at our shop, 24 hours please. For orders being delivered or shipped, if placed by 3:00 EST, it will go out the following business day.
|
Why of course we are, but we used to be located in Manhattan and just thought it would be easier for all of our old customers to find us if we kept the same number.
|
We are open to talking about anything. If you are hosting a small party (birthday, bachelorette, shower, corporate) where a private baking class would be appropriate, definitely give us a call and we can come up with some great ideas for you. Unfortunately, we are no longer able to accommodate children’s parties.
|
Why of course! We want the world to know how to bake delicious treats so we offer monthly baking classes. You can check out what the topic is on the “Have you Heard?” page of our site and then call or drop by to sign up.

The Products...:
|
Unfortunately nothing is free. All of those ingredients are used in our kitchen and can be found in many in our products. So if your allergy is severe, as much as we hate to say it, we prefer that you don’t risk it. We know how hard that might be, but it is your health after all! On the other hand, our kitchen is peanut and trans-fat free.
|
In each gift box, we have thoughtfully created an assortment that we think anyone would love. Unfortunately, if you are averse to certain things, we are unable to substitute varieties. Not only does it throw off the weight of the box, but it also throws off the helpers that work so hard assembling all of the boxes. It would be just too much to ask to keep the “special” boxes aside. An alternative would be to stop by and select a box of loose cookies, choosing only the ones that are your favorites.

The Shop...:
|
Sundays 12:00-6:00,
Monday through Thursday, 11:00 – 7:00
Friday and Saturday 11:00 – 10:30 (from 8:00-10:30, we offer only our delectable “CONFECTION” dessert bar treats)
|
We had a great team of tradespeople working on the shop, but the design geniuses at MADE in Red Hook, Brooklyn got it all to come together. We cannot say enough about them… they made the whole process a lot of fun. And we ended up with a beautiful boutique! www.made-nyc.com

Planes….from JFK or LaGaurdia, hop in a taxi.
Trains…the F or the G to Bergen St. When you exit, you’ll be on Smith St. Walk in the same direction as traffic (1-3 blocks…depending on where you exit) to Dean St. Make a left and you will see the aqua blue beacon of sweetness on your left side.
Automobiles….we are minutes from both the BQE and the Brooklyn Bridge, but since cookies are our forte, and not directions, we’ll leave the details to the experts at MapQuest or Google Maps.
|
For the time being, it’s the one and only.
|
Well, after a great dinner on Smith St, we like to take a little stroll before settling down for some amazing dessert. We figured everyone feels the same way, so we created a place for that to happen. On Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00, our little shop transforms into a sultry, sophisticated place to enjoy creative, seasonally driven plated desserts, all whipped up by our pastry chef, Francina. For those that like the tried and true, we offer our cupcakes and whoopie pies, but with a twist. Francina has created a trio of each with some pretty unbelievable flavors. If you really cannot live without the full sized whoopie pies, cupcakes and other sweets, feel free to call and order ahead so we can pack them up for you before we are in full dessert bar mode.

Event Favors...:
|
Our event favors are the perfect way to say “thanks for coming”. We pride ourselves on creating beautifully designed boxes filled with scrumptious cookies. We offer an array of styles and option. Take a look at our “Party Favors” page and see what we can do.
|
Required is a strong word. You are more than welcome to drop by and get some general information about pricing and packaging options. But, we prefer to offer you the royal treatment, cookie tasting and all. In order to do that we want to be able to clear our calendars and focus on nothing but you, so an appointment is recommended.
|
“The more the better”, as they say. Eight weeks is great, but we try to accommodate any party host looking for the perfect favors. If favors slipped your mind and you don’t have much time, give us a call and we’ll see what we can work out.
