Hey everyone, 

Just an update on surveys for this project. 

I've just sent out smoke tests, and if all goes well, surveys should go out tomorrow. If you are in the random small group that received a smoke test, then you'll have your survey now. Please check your email tomorrow for your survey link. I expect to send the surveys some time after noon EST tomorrow. 

Due to the niche nature of this campaing, I will not be ordering a whole lot extra to carry in the online store afterwards. If there are designs in this campaign you like, now is the time to get them, as there's no guarantee they will be available later on. 

The lockdown for these surveys is May 14th, 2025.

Once surveys are locked down your card will be charged for shipping fees and any add-ons. If for any reason you cannot finish your survey and make your payment by the 14th, no worries. We understand that sometimes life gets in the way, or you might be waiting for a payday, or you need more time to decide. The deadline to guarantee you receive your design choices is May 28th. If you aren't ready by the 14th, simply don't complete the last step of the survey. The last step of the survey is the confirmation page where you can review all your details and enter in your card details for shipping costs, if you're not ready to submit, just exit the page and you can go back to it later. If you choose to not submit your survey by the 14th, the next charge date won't be until May 28th, 2025. 

After May 28th you will still be able to complete and submit your survey, but we may not be able to guarantee that you receive all your design choices. If we run out of one of your chosen designs while packing orders, we will reach out to you to choose a new design. It's very rare that this happens as we usually order more than extra of each pin. It's better to get your survey done sooner, and before Feb 3rd. 

If your original pledge charge failed, or you cancelled it thinking it was fraud, you will still receive a survey. The survey will allow you to make up this failed charge, so you can still receive your rewards.

The purpose of the add-on section is to add extra items you may want shipped with your pledge. Add-ons are entirely optional, if you do not want extra items, please skip this step. Please note that any items added from this add-on section will ship with your pledge level, and not before.

You'll notice that as backers you receive a discounted price on most pin add-ons. 

You will see a few pin designs, stickers, and other items set as stretch goal add-ons. This just means that there is a minimum number of orders we need to meet to manufacturer that item. Some of the stretch goal add-ons were designs that didn't fit with the campaign, or they were too specific, or I just thought of the design after the campaign ended. If we reach the stretch goal quantity you will be charged for that item and it will be included in your order. If we do not reach a stretch goal for a specific item, we first determine whether we can manufacture it anyway, and if we cannot the item is removed from your order and you are not charged for it. 

You will be able to change your shipping address up until the lockdown. After the lock down date, if you need to update your shipping address, please email [email protected], and we can manually update your shipping address. Please let us know as soon as possible that you need to update your address so we can amend the address before your package is sent. If you fail to notify us of an address change, and your package is returned to us, we will ship it again, however, you will have to pay another shipping charge. 

We will post an update for last call address changes before we start shipping packages.

There is a pre-order store for this campaign. The purpose of the pre-order store is to allow anyone who did not pledge to the campaign a chance to order these pins. You can access the pre-order store with this link.

Please note that the pre-order store is separate from your survey. All items in the pre-order store are in the add-ons section of your survey. On occasion backers have confused the pre-order store with their survey and placed a second order by accident. 

If you have any questions regarding your survey or any of the above information, please email us at [email protected]

Cheers,
Liz

Hey all,
 
With just about 24 hours left in the campaign I'm dropping by with a couple of updates. 

I want to thank everyone for their support on this campaign thus far, it's been a great project and I can't wait to see these pins made!

If you are interested in the Bakeshop/cake designs, the best way to get them would be to pledge to the campaign. Due to the ongoing tariff situation, I won't be ordering a whole lot of extra pins for each design. This is a more niche project and I don't plan to carry these pins in my Etsy shop afterwards. I will be ordering only the quantity that's ordered by backers, and a few extras to account for b grades. 

In an effort to liquidate some inventory, and earn some extra money to set aside for tariffs (since I have a few packages on their way with a 154% tariff on them), all regular priced pins in the Etsy shop are 40% off through April 17th. No code is required, they will already be marked down on the site. In addition, stickers are marked 10% off. You can use this link to navigate to the shop. Depending on the ongoing and ever changing tariff situation, I may have to raise my prices in the future, so now is a great time to get these pins at their current price, and on sale.

This is a heads up that when the campaign ends, in about 24 hours, your card will be charged for your pledge level and any add-ons you chose during the campaign. In roughly two weeks you can expect to receive a survey via email. This survey is where you'll choose which designs you want, provide your shipping address, purchasing any option add-ons, and pay for your shipping fees. I will send out a campaign update when the surveys go out.

If you have any questions please email me at [email protected].

Cheers,
Liz

Hey yall,

I'm back with an update on the next design in the campaign. This new design will already be unlocked, but I need you all to vote on it. You can check out the designs below and vote on the attached poll.

Cheers,

Hey everyone, 

I'm once again offering the refer a friend campaign. You can get all the details below!

Starting today, I'm running the refer a friend program that will run to the end of the campaign. If you refer a friend (family member, colleague, frenemy, fellow cake lover) to the campaign, and they pledge successfully, you will receive an extra free pin with your pledge (any pin of your choosing from all unlocked designs). To be eligible to receive your free pin, your referred friend's pledge must be successful.

Unfortunately, at this time, there’s no way to automatically track referrals. If you refer a friend, and they pledge, you will need to email [email protected] with the following information:

At the end of the campaign I'll check emails to ensure your referred friend made a pledge and make a note on my end. When surveys are delivered I will reach out to ask you what design you want for your free pin.  If you have any questions about this program, please either drop a comment below, or email the above email.
