Birthday Cake Pictures


How We Make The Cookies

  • We sell two photo cookie shapes: round scallop edge cookies and rectangular cookies. There will be times when a photo will not fit on a scalloped cookie. When this occurs, we reserve the right to change your order to a different shape of cookie.
  • Your image is printed on the top of the cookie. This process is done using a special printer that prints the image in food coloring. It's 100% EDIBLE. Click on the photo to the right to see more wedding cookie photos.
    • Any snapshot, photo, document, logo or business card can be reproduced onto a cake or cookie.
    • The larger the photo (wallet size to 8" x 10") that you send us, the better the results.
    • An original photo will produce the best results, however color copies can be used if printed on HIGH QUALITY PAPER such as Kodak photographic paper. Black and white photos produce BEAUTIFUL COOKIES. We can change a color photo to black and white, but we can't change a black and white photo to color. We can not work with Polaroid pictures as they don't produce good results.
    • If you have an original photo that you don't feel comfortable sending to us, make a copy on photographic quality paper and send us the copy.
  • Each dozen photo cookies MUST have the same image on them. If you are ordering multiple dozens of cookies, then each dozen can have a different photo.
  • Ingredients used to make the photo cookies include: pastry flour, bread flour, sugar, vegetable oil, salt, baking soda, milk. The photos are printed using food coloring on top of edible rice paper which are placed on top of the cookies. Sugar crystals are then used for borders.
  • When mailing your photo, we will examine it and immediately contact you if the photo is not clear. Please lightly print your name and address on the back of all photos using a dry marker. Do not cut your original photograph. We will crop the photo to make it fit the cookie.
  • The cookies can be ordered as early as a month before your occasion. Photo cookies will last up to 3 weeks if kept out of direct sunlight.
  • Once we have your check and photo, we will ship your order 7 days prior to your NEED DAY.
  • All orders are shipped U.S. Postal Service Priority Mail that takes 3-5 days to reach most cities in the U.S.
  • Next Day Air Shipping Available. Call for pricing.
  • Packaging - We do everything possible to protect the cookies. All cookies are individually wrapped in clear cello bags. The are boxed and wrapped two times. We have very minimal breakage.

Best Chocolate


Our 10 Best Chocolate Recipes

By: Allrecipes Staff

Sweet treats for your sweetie! We've gathered these top-rated favorites for you and your sweetheart.

Chocolate 101


Use the highest-quality chocolate and cocoa you can buy. Good chocolate has a glossy sheen and a smooth taste. Here's a quick primer on different varieties and their uses:




  • Unsweetened (chocolate liquor): Made with about 50 percent cocoa butter, this is pure, unadulterated chocolate. Use it in cooking and baking, but don't bother eating it straight.

  • Bittersweet: Made by adding cocoa butter, sugar, and vanilla to chocolate liquor, bittersweet chocolate has a dark, rich taste. Use it in baking.

  • Semisweet: This variety is made the same way as bittersweet, but with more sugar. A classic for chocolate chip cookies.

  • Milk chocolate: Sweet and creamy, this chocolate is made with milk solids, which give it its light color. For some people, milk chocolate is a clear winner over dark.

  • White chocolate: Because it's made with cocoa butter and not chocolate liquor, white chocolate isn't strictly chocolate. Use it in baking, but don't expect a chocolatey taste--it's sweet and mild.
