straight answers

Questions cookie bakers ask

Can I keep a flavor secret until a set time?

Yes. A mystery flavor shows as a mystery on every public page and email until the date and time you choose, then it's revealed to everyone at once.

What if I can bake more than I planned?

Raise the cap. If people asked to hear when more come up, they're told, and the extra cookies go on sale.

Can I sell a cookie box by subscription?

Yes, monthly: subscribers pick four and you add two surprises. That's the one box shape for now.

Do I need a permit?

Probably. Most states ask home food sellers to register or hold a cottage-food permit, and the rules differ by state. Kitchenstead doesn't issue permits. It tracks your state's limits once you have one.
