We occasionally offer special dietary batches at an upcharge, but our standard menu is baked with traditional flour, butter, and eggs. Please note that our kitchen processes wheat, nuts, eggs, and dairy, so we cannot guarantee a 100% allergen-free environment for those with severe allergies.

For large custom orders (weddings, dessert bars, corporate events), we recommend booking at least 3-4 weeks in advance to secure your date. Please use our Consultation options to talk more about your desert needs for your event

Where we ship: All Dem Sweets currently ships our Cookies and select non-perishable treats nationwide within the United States. (Note: due to their delicate nature, we do not ship Ice Cream and Pies time. These items are available for local pickup only.)
Processing Time Everything we bake is made to order to ensure freshness. Please allow 2-4 business days for us to bake and package your order before it is shipped. You will receive a tracking number via email once your label has been created.
Shipping Days To prevent your delicious treats from sitting over the weekend, we typically ship orders on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. Orders placed late in the week may be held until the following Monday to ensure the freshest arrival.
Breakage & Carrier Delays We pack our cookies and cakes securely to prevent movement. However, once the package leaves our hands, we cannot control how the carrier handles it.
A few broken cookies: We do not offer refunds for minor breakage (a cracked cookie still tastes delicious!).
Lost or Destroyed Packages: If your package is lost in transit or arrives severely crushed, please contact us within 24 hours with photos of the box and contents so we can file a claim with the carrier.
Incorrect Addresses Please double-check your shipping address at checkout. All Dem Sweets is not responsible for packages returned to us or delivered to the wrong address due to customer error. Reshipping will require a new shipping fee.
