Terms and Conditions

Weddings T&Cs

​

Consultations

Consultations are by appointment only and we will contact you around six months before your wedding date to arrange this.

If you require a consultation before making a booking please contact us. 
We do not charge for this service. 

Payment

When booking your cake/cupcakes we require a £100 'Save The Date' deposit. This deposit is non refundable should you cancel your order for any reason. Six weeks prior to your event you will receive an invoice for the remainder. The balance must be cleared 3 weeks before the collection or delivery of your cake/cupcakes. 
Once the balance has been paid, work will start to commence on your cake. If your order is cancelled less than 21 days prior to the event we will refund 25% of the full amount paid. If you cancel less than 3 days before your order is due, no refund is made.
Any other refunds are made at our discretion only. We take payment by bank transfer. Details are available on request or can be found on your invoice. Any payments made including deposits can not be transferred to another product should you cancel your booking.

Change of Date

We are a small business and dates are reserved exclusively for you so we can dedicate our time to making your cake. If you need to re-schedule your event to a new date for whatever reason, if we cannot accommodate that new date there will be no refund on the deposit.
All re-scheduled dates must be made within 6 months of the original date otherwise the event is considered to be cancelled and must be re-booked. Any deposit paid will be lost.
Your deposit is non- transferable to another product.

Delivery

If requested, we will deliver your cake to your venue at a pre-arranged time. Delivery charges will apply dependent on location. We will liaise closely with your venue or event coordinator to ensure that we deliver at the best possible time.
On occasion we are faced with severe weather conditions, public unrest, or other unexpected events that may make your venue inaccessible. You can be assured that we will always do our best to deliver as pre-arranged. Wedding insurance may give you peace of mind.

Set Up

Set up times will be discussed and agreed at your consultation.

We want to ensure that we leave your cake and table looking beautiful, so we will always decorate our display with fresh gypsophila and are are happy to sprinkle petals, locate knives, straighten tablecloths and decorations or toppers.

Collection

Cakes that are collected from our studios are always boxed for transportation. We provide full instruction on the care and handling of your cake. We would always recommend picking up your cake in a vehicle, tiered cakes can be very heavy. We do not take any responsibility for any damage that may occur to the cake once it has left our studio.

Alterations

We are happy to make alterations to your cake design and order up to 4 weeks prior to your event date. If ordering cupcakes you may alter the amount of your order. Please be aware that this may affect the balance due and your invoice will be adjusted accordingly. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your cake order, please just call.

Stand Hire

We hire many different stands on which to display your cake. Please just ask to see our full range.
With stand hire we ask for a refundable £100 deposit. This is payable with your final invoice. We ask that all stands are returned to us by prior arrangement a maximum of 3 days after the event. This is because we may need it for another client. Deposits are refunded within 24 hours of a return..
If stands are not returned, returned damaged or with pieces missing, your deposit is retained. Any refund is made at our discretion.
