Postponements
Where possible we will endeavour to meet your postponement requirements. Unfortunately we are unlikely to be able to postpone an order that is due to be collected within 7 days.
Alterations
Where possible we will endeavour to meet your alteration requirements. However, due to the nature of our products some items need to be prepared further in advance. Therefore, there may be additional charges should we have undertaken work that is no longer required. I.e. if we have created sugar paste models that you no longer desire. Please contact us as soon as possible if you wish to make any alterations.
Returns
Due to the bespoke, made to order and perishable nature of our products we are unable to accept returns. All sales are final.
Cake Photos
We reserve the right to take and use our own photos of cake(s) made to customers specifications to use for marketing and promotional purposes, including advertising and promotion without compensation to said customer.
Disclaimer
Everything we create is made to order, by hand. It is not possible to guarantee an exact reproduction of any other cake, model or otherwise. There are thousands of examples of our cakes for your perusal, allowing you a feel for our quality.
We reserve the right to exercise our artistic licence. Some things that may work in a simple 2D sketch for instance, will not work in the medium of cake. Equally, if we feel upon creating your cake that something slightly different would be more suitable we will assume that you are in agreement. If any more radical deviations from the originally discussed order are required, we will of course contact you prior to completion.

COVID-19: Cancellation or Postponement enquiries.
These are the guidelines that we are using to best help you...
All orders are subject to our terms and conditions which may be viewed online, in-store, or read to you over the telephone.
We hope that you will be able to appreciate that in order to preserve our small business we must uphold this policy even under such circumstance as COVID-19.
That said, we want to support our customers through what may be a challenging time.
Some questions we may be asked, and how we will answer….
“Can I have a smaller cake instead?”
Provided it isn’t already started, you may down-scale your cake. If the deposit on the original order is greater than the balance due on the down-scaled cake, then any difference will be offered as a credit note. Valid for up to one year from the original collection date.
If the balance due for the down-scaled cake is less than the original deposit, then the original deposit will be transferred to the down-scaled cake. The new balance may be settled on collection.
In some scenarios the standard cancellation policy may be more suitable. With a new order being created for a smaller cake.
“Can I postpone?”
Provided your cake isn’t already started, you may postpone for up to one year from the original collection date.
“Can I cancel my order?”
Yes, subject to our standard terms and conditions. Provided the cake isn’t already started, perhaps you might consider instead, exchanging for a credit note which you may redeem against a future purchase/s to the same value as that already paid. This option if available would not incur any cancellation fees.
