We only accept JPEG photographs as links and other attachments are not reliable. We are not responsible for any damage occurring to the cake during transport, set-up or any time thereafter. Do bear in mind that cakes are very fragile, and damages can happen if not handled properly – such as cracks, smudges, melted frosting, etc. We only offer refunds in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.
Design Service: We offer you a bespoke consultation design service at no extra cost. Consultations are arranged based upon a mutually agreed time with a maximum of two individuals who will meet our consultant.

This depends on a liaison with you, your representative and the staff at the venue to ensure a smooth operation; this is the customer’s responsibility. It is highly recommended that customers request to pay for our delivery and assembly service for any cake higher than two tiers.
