DELIVERY AND SET UP

Delivery and set up is dependent upon destination. Delivery fees may apply.

We are not responsible for any damage to the cake after the set-up is complete. You are responsible for providing an appropriate and secure table and environment for the cake(s). Cakes are heavy and require a sturdy table, and optimal room temperature 22-23 degrees Celsius or below.

LIABILITY RELEASE

If you or your representative elects to pick-up and set-up the cake, you assume all liability and responsibility for the condition of the cake once it leaves our possession. Cake is fragile, and we are not responsible for any damage that may occur once the cake has left the bake site.

We take every measure to supply you with a stable product but cannot guarantee structural integrity during transport.

Please always handle your cake with great care: transport and display on flat, well supported surfaces only and do not leave in temperatures above 22-23 degrees Celsius for extended periods of time.

Refunds due to negligence will not be issued.

If you would like a cake cutting guide, we will provide one free of charge at your request. The provided guide is the same guide that will be used in determining your servings when placing your order.
