Gifting & event orders

Give the gift of tassies.

You could send the same brownies or cookies they’ve gotten before. Or, you could send the best kept secret at the dessert table. Four generations of one cherished family recipe, in a box with your card inside. For gifts, gatherings, and events worth remembering.

Send the box. Keep the credit.

Every box carries a card in your name. Names and dates for the wedding, a thank-you for the client, a note for the friend who already has everything. The gift is from you. We just bake it.

How it works

Three steps, start to table.

  1. Tell us what you're planning.

    A date, a rough count, and the occasion.

  2. We confirm and quote.

    Availability first, then a quote within two business days.

  3. We bake your batch fresh.

    Hand-pressed shells, the original recipe, timed to your date.

Batches are small on purpose. For events, inquire at least three weeks ahead.

Questions

Asked and answered.

How far ahead should I order?

One week for standard gift orders; three weeks minimum for events, more for large orders or custom cards. Short windows: email gifting@allfordstassies.com and we’ll see what’s possible.

Can you customize the cards and favor boxes?

Yes. Custom cards with your names, date, or message. Minimum quantities apply.

Do you deliver and set up?

Delivery within our Alexandria area. Setup for dessert tables is available on request and quoted with the order.

What's the minimum order?

Local delivery orders total a dozen tassies minimum, in any mix of boxes, on our order page. Event orders start at 48 tassies.

Do you offer discounts on large orders?

Every order is quoted individually. We price for quality, not volume. The recipe took four generations; the price took less negotiating.
