It depends... I might be able to change the color on certain wafer paper files, but you should check before ordering. I can't match colors exactly but can get them pretty close (except for purple, that's a tricky one in food colors.) I'm not currently taking custom orders for totally new designs.

I don't do anything overnight delivery. I might be able to do priority express in the U.S. (one to two day delivery) for certain items, but it's expensive and I don't guarantee delivery times since that's out of my control. If you need something fast please contact me before placing the order, or I may have to cancel if I can't fill it within the time frame you need it.

Because of the way that Etsy payments work, I currently ship orders the next business day if they're placed before 10pm Eastern. Anything later than that will be shipped in 2 business days. For example, if you place your order at 10 pm Eastern on a Monday, I'll ship it on Tuesday. If you place the order at 11pm Monday, it will go out on Wednesday.

I don't hold orders past the stated processing time. If you need something for a specific date in the future, ordering a couple of weeks ahead is fine.

Wafer paper butterflies are good for a year or more if they're kept dry and out of sunlight to avoid fading.

If you store things at room temperature in a dry area they'll be fine for months, if not years. Wafer paper doesn't spoil.

I ship packages Monday through Friday or Saturday. I try to ship as quickly as possible.

Edible butterflies, wafer paper, supplies, and silicone molds can usually be shipped the first business day after the order is placed.

Paper flowers can be shipped two to three days after the order is placed.

Gumpaste items may take a few days to get in the mail.

I currently only ship to the US and Canada. Individual countries have different laws about import taxes and fees. the buyer is responsible for paying any fees collected when the package is picked up. I can't mark an item as a gift to avoid paying those fees, that's considered mail fraud and is illegal.

VAT taxes are charged by individual countries, and laws are different everywhere. If Etsy is required to collect VAT taxes they will be charged when the sale goes through.

Certain countries have additional customs and postal fees which are imposed when the package is delivered. It's the responsibility of the customer to check on any laws specific to his or her own country and to pay any additional fees.

It depends on what class of mail that you select at checkout. The only guaranteed method is 1-2 day priority express mail, everything else is estimated times.

Etsy provides estimated delivery dates at checkout, depending on the type of mail service you select. THESE ARE ESTIMATES AND ARE NOT GUARANTEED!!! I can't emphasize this enough, if you have less than a week before you need the item for US customers, or less than three or even four weeks for international customers, DO NOT ORDER unless you're willing to take a chance on the estimates being correct. The post office does not guarantee delivery dates, and it's totally out of my control. I don't guarantee that anything will be received on specific dates.

Unfortunately, if the post office marks the package as delivered, I have to take that as proof of delivery, and refunds will not be available unless a police report for stolen mail is filed. It's the customer's responsibility to provide a secure delivery location.

If this does happen, check with anyone who may have picked up the package and brought it in. After that, check with neighbors, or look around your house to see if the mail carrier left it in an inconspicuous area. After that, check with the post office in person to get the GPS reading from the delivery scan. In the case of stolen packages, you should file a stolen package report with the police and the post office so that they can track patterns os theft in your area.

All domestic packages are sent with tracking, and priority mail is sent with $50 of included insurance. If you would like to purchase additional insurance, or other services including signature confirmation, please contact me before purchasing.


International packages are handled differently, are all sent with tracking, but the rules for insurance are different.

In general, insurance DOES NOT APPLY unless the package is damaged severely or lost completely, and the dates for what's considered lost vary by country. If a package is marked as delivered insurance will not cover anything as far as missing or stolen mail goes. If a package is damaged please save the packaging since the post office requires photos as proof.

I can accept returns only if the item is unopened since they're edible. I don't accept returns on custom orders. Please contact me before returning items!

If you return something you're responsible for the cost of return shipping, and if the item shipped with free shipping, the actual cost of the original shipping label won't be refunded. Please contact me before sending things back to see what your actual refund amount would be in those cases.
