Terms and conditions

 

 

Ordering

When ordering a cake from us you will be pencilled in whilst the cake design and details are arranged.  The 'date' will remain yours for 7 days until a £10 deposit is received, your date will then be confirmed and the order placed.  If no deposit is received within 7 days your order will be cancelled.**** Please note cakes are made in a kitchen where nuts are handled and gluten products and other allergens are present. ****

Payment Terms

When the date of your order has been confirmed a £10.00 non refundable deposit must be paid via cash, Paypal or direct bank transfer.  the outstanding amount must be paid by cash at the time of collection/delivery, 

Delivery
 

When collecting , transportation should be on a flat surface, the footwell or the boot of the car is ideal and in the box provided.  Please ask for advice when taking collection of your cake if you are unsure.  We cannot be held responsible for any damage incurred due to poor transportation.

Storage

The cake, if covered in fondant MUST NOT be stored in the fridge unless otherwise stated.  Fondant will sweat and the colours will run, printed toppers will also be ruined.  Store only in the box provided and  in a cool dry place away from damp. DO NOT store cut cake in the fridge as it will dry out the cake, just wrap or cover cut section in tin foil.
Large cakes  should be consumed within a few days after cutting so it is at its best however the cake will last a week if uncut and stored at room temperature in the box provided. We advise that cupcakes should be eaten within 48 hours.
Extreme hot weather will reduce the life span of a cake.

 

Cancellations

Should your date change more than 7 days before the agreed collection/delivery date, the booking may be transferred without extra charge if the new date is available, however this is discretionary and all decisions are final.  If you wish to cancel your order, written confirmation is required and the deposit will not be refunded. If cancelling less that 5 days before a 50% charge will be payable unless the slot can be filled by another booking.
If Claire's custom cakes has to cancel the booking due to illness a full refund will be given.
