We require a 50% non-refundable deposit to confirm a cake order and hold the date. The remaining 50% is due 6 weeks before the delivery date, at which point all changes must be confirmed (changes to the previously agreed design may incur extra fees).Orders placed less than 6 weeks in advance of the delivery date must be paid in full. The final balance specified on the invoice must be paid by the Buyer 6 weeks before the delivery date. Payment can be made earlier if you wish. Failure to complete payment 6 weeks before the delivery date may result in your order being cancelled. By making a payment the Buyer is accepting the Terms and Conditions as detailed on this page.
Deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable under any circumstances due to any loss of business arising from turning away other bookings on that date. Full payments made less than 6 weeks in advance of the delivery date are non-refundable. Full payments made more than 6 weeks in advance of the delivery date are subject to a cancellation fee if cancelled more than 6 weeks in advance of the delivery date. We cannot refund the cost of any orders cancelled with less than 6 week’s notice. Orders paid in full and cancelled with more than 6 weeks notice will receive a partial refund of 50% of the total amount paid. In the very unlikely event that we have to cancel your order for any reason, then we will give you as much notice as possible, and discuss the matter with you and try to agree a suitable alternative. If you do not wish to accept our suggested alternative, then we will refund the full price to you.
