Sugar Cookies

How much are decorated sugar cookies?

Our sugar cookies average $5.00 to $7.00 each with a minimum order of 24. Most ellenJAY cookie collections have 3 coordinating designs and are approximately $6 per cookie.

Can my cookies be individually packaged?

Absolutely! Individual favor packaging with coordinating satin ribbon is an additional $1.00 per cookie. Gift boxes start at $4.00 each.

Can you create gift packaging for my sweets?

That’s our FAVORITE! We have several gift box options in various sizes to create the perfect sweet gift.

Why are your decorated sugar cookies so special?

Lots and LOTS of work goes into each and every decorated sugar cookie! This process is truly a labor of love that starts with prepping the dough, cutting out the shapes (sometimes with the finickiest of cookie cutters), mixing royal icing colors of various consistencies, hand decorating and, finally, packaging. 

Designs

Can you replicate logos and characters, such as Mickey Mouse, etc., on my sweets?

No, we cannot replicate copyrighted images, logos or characters without written consent from the copyright owner. However, we can customize our menu cakes and cookies with your party colors.  

Do you offer sheet cakes?

No. Instead, we specialize in round, three-layer cakes in a variety of sizes to meet your desired number of servings.

Do you offer 3D or sculpted cakes?

Sorry, round three-layers cake are our JAM!

Do you use fondant?

Nope, not our thang.

Can you create an exact replica of this cake or cookie I found online?

No, Team ellenJAY specializes in the cakes and cookies listed on our menu only.  We adore them and we hope you will TOO!

Cakes

SOOOO many yummy options! Click here to see our signature flavors.

What size cake should I order?

All of our cakes are three-layered, round confections with the following approximate servings per size:

STARTING PRICES 

$52 plus tax --- 6 inch feeds 10-12

$68 plus tax --- 8 inch feeds 20-24

$97 plus tax --- 10 inch feeds 38-49

How should I store my cake until my party?

To keep your cake safe, you can store it in its original box and in your refrigerator.  Because our cakes contain a lot of butter which firms at cold fridge temperatures, let your cake come to room temperature for about 4 hours before serving.   Our cakes are BEST enjoyed at room temperature.

We do have allergens, such as nuts, soy, eggs, wheat and dairy products in our bakery. If allergens are a serious health concern for you, we recommend that you do not consume our baked goods.

Sorry, we do not offer GF sweets at this time.

Do you offer sugar-free sweets?

No, we don’t currently offer sugar-free sweets.
