Frequently Asked Questions....
Where is your shop?
We don't have one :) Sweet Art Bakery runs out of a rented commercially licensed kitchen. Plans to open a shop are in the works for down the road, but for now this is the best option for you as well as for us- it keeps our overhead low- which means reasonable prices for you!
Do you deliver?
Absolutely! We deliver all of our products to your door, or on site to your event. Deliveries are free for McKinney and the immediately surrounding areas.
Do you ship?
Yes, we do! Cookies and Cookie Arrangements are the most frequently shipped items, but we can also ship some of our other sweets as well.
How far in advance should I order?
The sooner the better- especially if you're talking cakes. We try our best not to overbook- that way we can give each cake the creative attention it deserves. We do only one wedding per weekend, and a limited number of celebration cakes- so booking early is to your advantage. All other orders are best placed early as well- to give our bakery time to communicate ideas with you.
Do you have sugar-free or dairy-free products?
No, we don't at this time.
Do your cookies and cakes contain nuts?
Some of them do (like peanut butter mousse for example), and all of our cookies contain almond extract. All products are prepared in an environment where they may come into contact with nuts.
What kind of icing is on your cookies?
We use a yummy "rolled buttercream" recipe...it is just firm enough for handling, but also keeps a soft texture for biting into. All details on our cookies are done with royal icing.
Can you make a _____ cookie?
Most likely... YES! We can make a dragon cookie, a ball and chain cookie, an alien cookie, a cookie for your boss who likes to bowl AND fish... anything you dream up- we can most likely make it. It may take a little creative thinking- but that's what we do best!
How about that kind of cake?
Yes.
What should I bring to my cake consultation?
If you are very particular about how you want your cake to look- bring as much
information and as many examples as you can, to clearly illustrate your wishes...
1. Pictures from the internet, magazines, books, etc. You may have found an entire cake that
you like- or elements of a few cakes that you want to incorporate in to one.
It is best to have copies of these things that you can leave with us.
2. Color swatches. If you are intent on having your cake be a certain shade, we'll
need a sample- there are many shades of "sage", and your idea
of "fuscia" may be very different than ours.
3. A relative or trusted friend. Someone who wants to help you make the cake decisions.
There will be cake to sample- and second opinions are always helpful! You may
want to bring your wedding planner, if you have one- they have an overall
vision of what your reception will look like- and will be able to help you keep all of that in mind.
4. A sweet tooth! Our cakes are yummy- and you'll need to taste- so be ready to dig in!
