All the Details

Cookie, Brownie and Order FAQs

Everything you need to know about box sizes, shelf-life, payment, and collection.

How big are the cookies and brownies?

The cookies range from 5cm to close on 10cm diameter depending on the variety. The brownies are 5cm square and 2-3cm tall.

How long do they keep?

They’ll probably get eaten quite quickly ;-) but they will last longer if you store them in an air-tight container in the fridge.

Do you have a list of ingredients for each cookie?

Yes! Simply hover your mouse (or tap on mobile) over any cookie or brownie stack image below to reveal the full ingredients list.

What if I really like one specific flavour and want a box of just that variety?

Unfortunately, I’m only offering mixed boxes this year. That may change in the future depending on demand!

Do the quoted prices include BTW?

Yes, for the cookie and brownie boxes, the 9% BTW is already included in the quoted prices.

How does ordering work?

Simply select your box type, the number of boxes you would like, and your pickup date on the order form. Orders received and paid for by 15:00 on Fridays will be baked fresh for collection the next day (Saturday).

How do I pay?

Once I’ve received your order, I’ll confirm within 12 hours and send you a Tikkie link to pay. If you don’t use Tikkie, there'll also be an IBAN number for bank transfer. Cash payments cannot be accepted, sorry. Payment must be received by latest 15:00 on the Friday before collection.

How does pick-up work & where is The Cakery?

Your box(es) will be waiting for you between 10:00–15:00 on your chosen Saturday at The Cakery, Schinkelkade 31hs, 1075VJ Amsterdam (at the end of Vondelpark near Hoofddorpplein). Nearest tram: #2 Amstelveenseweg; bus: #15 Hoofddorpplein. Parking on the Schinkelkade is usually easy by car.

How will the cookies and brownies be packed?

Packed securely in a single-use cardboard box with greaseproof paper lining.

How can I safely transport my goodies?

Unlike fragile tiered cake, these sturdy boxes can be carried in a bike crate or panniers with no ill effects. (Obviously, no extreme off-roading…)

Oops! I forgot to place my order in time, can I just stop by?

To guarantee a box, please place and pay for your order by 15:00 on Friday. But I hate to disappoint, so email me at lucie@englishcakelady.com and I’ll see what I can do.

Ugh, I missed my pick-up slot, what should I do?

First, consider your life choices. You. Missed. Collecting. Cookies. Secondly, email me at lucie@englishcakelady.com ASAP!
