Terms and Conditions
Amendments to Orders
After your cake has been ordered and paid for, any further alteration may carry extra costs depending on request.
Collection and Delivery Arrangements
• Collections are available during trading hours
• Wedding Cakes must be signed for upon delivery by you, or by your nominated representative at the venue who must be aged 18 or above. Under no circumstances will goods be left unattended, for example in a garage, or with anybody below the age of 18.
• If no one is available to accept and sign for the delivery, a card will be left asking you to contact us to arrange an alternative delivery date. A re-delivery fee will be charged.
Errors/Shortages
In the event of there being errors or shortages, these should be brought to our attention at the time you collect the cake or have it delivered. Corrections and repairs to cakes, including inscription mistakes, can be corrected. You are required to inform us at this time to give us the opportunity to rectify the matter.
Cancellation Rights
A 10% cancellation charge (minimum of £5) will be incurred 24 hours after the order has been placed and paid for.
There will be no refund on cakes cancelled less than 7 days prior to the collection or delivery date.
Notice of such cancellation must be given in writing.
Guarantees and Returns

Complaints are very rare and so we take them very seriously. Some complaints may require further investigation and an immediate refund may not always be possible. The maximum refund we offer is the value of the cake and delivery. Further compensation is not available.
These terms and conditions apply to your order/delivery request. We may change our terms and conditions at any time, so please do not assume that the same terms will apply to future orders/delivery requests.

Ordering and Lead Times

• Where ever possible order your cake for the day before it is required.
• We can usually take orders at shorter notice, but this does depend on the volume of work at the time. Please contact us directly to place an order at short notice.
• Please check your order thoroughly before payment. For bespoke cakes, our decorators can only create the finished article from what they interpret from the wording of your order. It is not possible to create exact specifications when modeling food, just a graphical representation.
• If an inscription, colour or any other choice is left un-selected on your order then we reserve the right to use our own discretion. You will always be contacted for order confirmation. Please check it and notify us if anything is not correct.
• Cake stands are available for hire and need pre-booking well in advance to avoid disappointment. Cake stand hire is subject to a minimum charge of £10 per function, payable when booking your stand, £5 per day thereafter. We require a £50 deposit on collection which is refundable when the stand is returned. To trim the .S. stand in your cake colours costs an extra £10.
