F.A.Q.
Cake & Cupcake Order FAQs
Q: Do you do gluten or sugar free cakes/cupcakes?
A:The Cookie Emporium is not equipped to run two different kitchens to properly handle allergen-free orders, therefore we do NOT offer any allergen-free items due to possible cross-contamination.
Q: What is your policy on deposits and refunds?
A: If you place an order over 14 days out from the date needed you may pay a deposit of 50%. All deposits are NON-REFUNDABLE. Any order placed within 2 weeks of service date must be paid in full. NO refunds will be offered as we only take a select number of orders weekly. It is at the sole discretion of the Adonai Cookie Shoppe to allow a client to move their date, however an additional charge may be assessed.
Q: What happens if I don't pay my full balance on time?
A: Your order will be canceled. If production has begun you will forfeit the entire deposit. If production has NOT begun you will receive a credit for 50% of your deposit to apply at a later date.

COOKIE SHIPPING FAQs
Q: When will my cookies arrive?
A: We ship using the United States Postal Service’s Priority Mail, which usually takes 2-3 business days depending on where you are located. We are in Metro Atlanta so local orders will arrive a smidge earlier than those being delivered to Texas, for example.
Q: How much is shipping?
A: Shipping in the US is a fixed rate as follows:
Orders $40.01 - $75: Priority Mail shipping is $10
Orders up to $75 and above: Priority Mail Shipping is $15
Rates and options may vary based on monthly specials or custom orders.
Q: How do you ship your cookies without them breaking?
A: All cookies are individually-wrapped and then nestled into a bed of crinkle paper and bubble wrap, and placed into a bakery box. The bakery box is then cushioned with packaging materials in a shipping box. We put almost as much effort into the packaging as we do the baking! A cookie may very occasionally break or crack, but it will still taste great. We will not refund an order unless 50% of the order is destroyed and broken. We are nice people, so if you have any problems with cookies you receive from us, please call or email right away and we’ll try our best to make things right.
Q: Can you guarantee an exact shipping date?
A: Sorry, we cannot guarantee an exact shipping date. But using the guidelines above, we can help you estimate a target arrival date. If you want Overnight/Express/Guaranteed shipping, please contact us for a quote.
