Shipping & Packaging
How are my cookies packaged?
Normal Orders are individually heat sealed unless otherwise requested.
Shipped orders are individually packaged, bubble wrapped, and double boxed to ensure safe delivery. While accidents do happen, I do take great care in wrapping all cookies.
​
When will I receive my cookies?
​
Normal Orders are delivered on Thursday - Sunday unless otherwise arranged by the customer
​
Shipped orders: We will do our best in getting your cookies to you by or before your due date. Because we are based and shipping out of Colorado, shipping is typically 1-2 business days however it can take up to 5 business days for your order to come in.
​
Who are my cookies shipped through and how are shipping charges calculated?
At Love & Baking we use USPS to ship our cookies. We will do our best to ensure you receive your cookies by your requested due date. Please take into consideration inclement weather and other shipping delays. Shipping rates that are posted also cover the cost of materials used to ensure safe delivery (packing bubbles, shipping boxes, tape etc.)
​
Packages left at the door – sometimes a shipper will leave the package at the door if they determine it is safe. Apartments, Condos, Dormitories, Hotels, Hospitals – shipments are usually directed to a complex office or receiving department which may result in delays. We recommend letting the recipient know they will be receiving a package so they can be on the look-out for it. No refunds are given due to lost or mail-caused delays. Deliveries to extended delivery areas are not guaranteed. No refunds are given for incomplete or wrong addresses.
​
I received my cookies but they are in crumbles do I get a refund?
If the product is damaged in shipping, we will process a damage claim with UPS or USPS. Claims must be made within 5 days of receipt. The shipping company may require that the damaged product, box & all items included in package be picked up for inspection; so please do not discard the box, product or any of its contents. Damage & unsuccessful deliveries are not common. Please take pictures of all damages and send them to loveandbaking2018@gmail.com
​
We are unable to complete a refund for broken cookies
​
What is the difference between ribbon tied, and non ribbon tied?
Ribbon Tied refers to the way the cookies are packaged. Each cookie is packaged in a cellophane bag to ensure freshness. For regular cookies, the bag is heat sealed. On ribbon or twined tied bags, they are individually wrapped with a ribbon. Ribbons are matched with the cookie theme or can be a specifically requested colour.
​
Do you deliver?
Yes, If you are in the Denver, Boulder, Longmont or surrounding areas, it is possible for me to deliver your order straight to you. This may be at an additional cost. See my pricing page for pricing boundaries

When do you start baking?
I have baked since I was young but really got into it while in college. I would try new recipes for cookies, cake, cupcakes, and cake pops and take them to classes for others to try.
Do you bake full time?
Nope. I have a full time job at a tech company as a Project Manager. I’m also a full time student pursuing a Master’s degree in Cybersecurity. While I absolutely love my job, I have a passion for baking so I decided it’s time to turn my passion into a business and voila! I arrived here.
What inspires you?
I draw inspiration from all kinds of things. Like many women, I am a multi-tasker. I can be in a meeting and draw a cookie design in the corner of my planner. Or on a nice walk and see something that sparks imagination. This is why I love creating new designs it allows my creativity to run rampant in a fun and delicious way
Where do you work?
I currently alternate between home and a commercial kitchen depending on the size of the order.
