I got an order last week for a certain amount of cookies in 4 different shapes. I quoted her how much each cookie would cost (different shapes), she agreed and then told me how many of each cookie she needed.
I spent a lot of time on these cookies (very detailed) and when i finally emailed to say they were ready for pickup and quoted the total price. she answered back asking if i was sure that was the total cuz it sounded very high. I sent back the original email where i quoted her the price per cookie and her telling me how many she wanted (that's what's great about email, there's always proof). Havent heard back yet.

Even if you are not a real business, you should still accept some money to prove they are seriously wanting your cookies. Even better...accept prepayment in your case. When you order something online, who does their part first...the customer? (Payment) Or the business? Last time I ordered on Amazon, I had to pay first....I would definitely do that too if I were you and you aren't comfortable with deposits and such.
