Welcome to Joyful Bites

At Joyful Bites Bakery, every treat is made to celebrate life’s sweetest moments. Each custom cookie, cake pop, and dipped pretzel is created with care, creativity, and a sprinkle of joy — because I believe desserts should taste as wonderful as they look!

Whether you’re planning a birthday, wedding, baby shower, or special event, I’d love to help make it memorable (and delicious).

🍪 Cookie Flavor & Freshness

My sugar cookies are vanilla-flavored with a soft vanilla royal icing. Each cookie is individually heat-sealed for freshness and can last up to 2 weeks at room temperature or longer if frozen.

I also offer gluten-free options upon request. Please note that while I take great care, my kitchen is not a certified gluten-free facility.

💰 Pricing

Custom cookie sets start at $3 per cookie, with final pricing based on:

  • Number of designs

  • Colors used

  • Level of detail or personalization

  • Metallic or hand-painted accents

Once you share your theme or inspiration photos, I’ll provide a personalized quote made just for you.

  • Let cookies thaw at room temperature before opening to avoid color bleeding.

💬 Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance should I order?
I recommend placing orders at least 3–4 weeks in advance, especially around holidays and busy seasons.

Do you offer gluten-free cookies?
Yes! Gluten-free options are available upon request. However, my kitchen is not certified gluten-free, so trace cross-contamination may occur.

Do you offer classes or events?
Yes! I’ll be offering cookie decorating classes and special events soon. Keep an eye on the Events Page for upcoming dates and details.

Can you ship cookies anywhere?
I currently ship within the U.S. only. Shipping costs are based on weight and location.
