What gets baked

Sets for the occasions people actually plan

Tell Taylor the event and the palette. She handles the rest — shapes, icing, detail work, and enough cookies that the table still looks full an hour in.

Baby showers

Onesies, rattles, little clouds and name cookies. Match the invitation or pick two colours and let her build around them.

Birthdays

Whole themes, not just numbers — a camping set arrives as tents, campfires, bears, pines, s'mores with faces on them and the age in buffalo plaid, with the birthday name piped on its own plaque. Grown-up birthdays get the elegant version.

Weddings & engagements

Favours, dessert tables and bridal-shower sets. Monograms, florals and dress shapes in your wedding colours.

Graduations

Caps, diplomas, school colours and the year in big friendly numbers. Popular in May, so ask early.

Corporate & client gifts

Logo cookies, launch parties, closing gifts and staff thank-yous. Individually wrapped if you're handing them out.

Holidays & just because

Seasonal sets go up on Instagram when they open. They tend to sell through, so the announcement is worth watching for.

Who's baking

Hi, I'm Taylor

I teach during the day and decorate at night. Taylored Sweets and Treats started the way most cottage bakeries do — one set of cookies for someone I love, then another, then a kitchen that smells like vanilla most weekends.

Everything is made by hand in small batches out of my licensed home kitchen in Germantown. I take a limited number of orders each week on purpose, because the detail work is the whole point and it does not survive being rushed.

If you have an idea, send it over. If you have no idea and just a date and a colour, that is genuinely fine too.

How it works

Four steps, start to doorstep

  1. 1

    Send the details

    Fill in the order form with your date, headcount, occasion and colours. Photos of anything you like are welcome — an invitation, a Pinterest board, a napkin sketch.

  2. 2

    Get a quote

    Taylor confirms she has the date, then sends pricing and a design plan back to you.

  3. 3

    Approve and book

    Once you say yes to the design, the date is held for you.

  4. 4

    Pickup or delivery

    Pickup in Germantown, or delivery for a fee that depends on how far you are. Cookies are not shipped — they are handed over.

Ready when you are

Orders start with the form. Popular weekends — May graduations, December holidays — fill up first.

Open the order form

The form is the Sugar Cookie Interest Form. Taylor replies within 48 hours to confirm availability and the theme; deposit and final details follow by email.

Getting them to you

Local pickup, or delivery for a fee

Cookies travel best when they are handed over, which is why they are not shipped at all. Everything is picked up in Germantown, or driven to you.

  • Germantown
  • Clarksburg
  • Gaithersburg

Pickup in Germantown is the default and costs nothing. Delivery is available for a fee that depends on the distance — ask when you send the form and it comes back with your quote.

Before you ask

Questions that come up

How far ahead should I order?

At least two weeks before your event, and earlier for graduation season and December. Royal icing needs at least 36 hours to dry before the cookies can be bagged, so a set takes four days minimum once it is started. Rush orders are considered if there is availability — they are just not ideal.

What does a set cost?

Pricing depends on the design, the detail and how many you need, so it comes back with your quote. Regular cookies are 3–4 inches and come in basic, standard and detailed; minis are 2–2.5 inches and stay simple — no intricate designs, writing or fine detail. DIY kits, cookie classes and paint-your-own sets are priced separately.

Is there a minimum order?

One dozen regular size, or two dozen minis. Past the first dozen the number is up to you — twenty is fine, it does not have to be a round two dozen. Minis can also be added onto a regular order below their own minimum.

Can you match my invitation?

Yes. Send a photo of it with your order and the colours and motifs get pulled straight from it.

Do you do allergen-free cookies?

The recipe is flour, sugar, butter, eggs, almond extract, vanilla extract, butter extract, baking powder, powdered sugar, corn syrup, meringue powder and food colouring. The kitchen is not nut free. An almond-extract-free version is available if you ask for it.

How long do they keep?

Every cookie is individually heat sealed, and they stay good for at least two weeks that way.

Are you a licensed bakery?

Taylored Sweets and Treats is a Maryland cottage bakery. Cookies are prepared in a home kitchen that is not inspected by the Department of State Health Services or a local health department. Once an order is picked up or delivered, it is the customer's responsibility.

Let's make something for your table

Tell Taylor the date, the occasion and two colours you love. That is enough to start.
