Quick note about shipping - We ship on Mondays. UPS sets the prices, we do not. Their prices are based on weight, distance and box size. I wish I could get the shipping charges lower. Also 1 day is highly recommended for cannoli’s, 2 day is probably ok, 3 day… is a bad idea. Pusties and cookies are frozen at time of shipment to make them easier to pack but are not refrigerated or otherwise kept cold during shipment. 2 day is your sweet spot for pustie shipping. Cakes should be ordered separately from other orders as they have their own specific shipping box.
