Ordering, Rules & Pick-Up

Everything you need to know before placing an order. I want your treats to arrive perfect, fresh, and exactly how you imagined.

Delivery

I am more than willing to deliver! Delivery is charged at $5 per 10 miles that I have to drive (there and back). Just let me know your address when you place your order and I'll add the delivery fee to your quote.

Placing an Order

All orders require advance notice. Standard orders (cake pops, cookies, Oreos, pretzels, rice crispy treats, banana bread) need at least 3–5 days' notice. Large orders and event boxes may need more — reach out early for weddings and big celebrations.

Chocolate-covered strawberries require 48 hours' notice and are always dipped the same day as pick-up so they're at their absolute freshest.

Orders are confirmed once payment is received. A request or inquiry does not hold your date — my calendar fills on a first-paid, first-served basis.

I take a limited number of orders per week so everything is truly made to order. If your date is full, I'll offer the next available day.

Payment

  • Full payment is due at booking for standard orders.
  • Orders of $100 or more require a 50% non-refundable deposit to hold your date, with the balance due 48 hours before pick-up.
  • Payment is sent via invoice — you'll receive a secure invoice with your total before you pay, never after.
  • Prices may vary with design complexity and quantity. Custom themes are always welcome — just know that detailed or fully custom designs may add to the listed price.

Custom Designs

  • Include your colors, theme, and event date when ordering. Inspiration photos are welcome!
  • I match themes and color palettes in my own style — I can take inspiration from photos, but I don't copy another baker's work exactly, and I can't reproduce licensed characters or logos.
  • Design changes are welcome up to 72 hours before pick-up. After that, your order is already in progress.

Pick-Up

All orders are pick-up in Port Orange, FL. The exact address is shared once your order is confirmed.

  • Please arrive within your scheduled pick-up window. Treats like dipped strawberries are time-sensitive and made to be picked up on schedule.
  • If you're running late, text me as soon as you can. Orders not picked up within 2 hours of the scheduled window without communication are considered forfeited, and no refund will be issued — everything was still made fresh for you.
  • Please check your order at pick-up! Once it leaves with you, I can't be responsible for melting, tipping, or travel damage. (Pro tip: flat trunk or floorboard, A/C on — Florida heat is not a treat's friend.)

Cancellations & Refunds

  • Cancellations made 24+ hours before pick-up: full refund (minus any non-refundable deposit).
  • Cancellations within 24 hours: no refund — ingredients have been purchased and your spot was held.
  • If I ever need to cancel due to emergency, you'll receive a full refund, no questions asked.

Freshness & Storage

Everything is baked and dipped as close to your pick-up as possible.

  • Strawberries: best enjoyed within 24 hours. Refrigerate, and bring to room temperature about 15 minutes before serving.
  • Cake pops & dipped treats: store in a cool, dry place away from direct sun — they keep beautifully for 3–5 days.
  • Cookies & banana bread: airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for later.

Allergy Notice

All items are made in a home kitchen that regularly uses wheat, dairy, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, and soy. While I take care with every order, I cannot guarantee any item is allergen-free, and I'm unable to accommodate severe allergies.

Cottage Food Notice

Sweet Shore Bakery is a cottage food operation. This product is made in a home kitchen that has not been inspected by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.
