After delivery or collection, please ensure that your cake is kept out of sunlight and at room temperature. Cakes with sugarpaste or sugar flowers/models should not be put in a refrigerator.
If delivery and setup are required then the resulting cost will be included in your cake quote.
All wedding cakes are supplied on a standard cake drum (size according to cake size) unless otherwise specified.
If you wish for your wedding cake to be decorated with fresh flowers, then it is best for your florist to supply these.
Please note that some flowers are not suitable for use as a cake decoration. Ask your florist for details and advice on the toxicity.
It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that a suitable table is provided for the cake to be displayed.

Designing your cake
Your cake will be created as specified. You are responsible to thoroughly read and check the details of your
design and the quote provided before making your booking fee payment.
All cakes are bespoke and handmade. I will do my very best to create your selected design as closely as I can.
However on occasions a design may have to be adjusted slightly in the interest of structural stability or
aesthetics. The customer will be informed of this before any amendments are carried out.
If you need to make any alterations they must be submitted by email to sales@cakesie.uk at least two weeks prior
to the supply date.
Any changes to the original agreed design will be charged accordingly, Cakesie reserves the right to increase
the final fee as a result of any alterations. Whilst every effort will be made to accommodate your wishes,
please note late changes cannot always be guaranteed.
Collection
Please ensure you arrive to collect your cake at the pre-arranged time/date. If you feel you are going to be
later than arranged, then please contact me as soon as possible.
Upon collection of your cake you will be asked if you are happy with your product. By taking your cake from my
premises, you confirm you are happy with it’s condition and final overall presentation.
You are advised that when transporting your cake it should be kept in the box provided and on a flat, clean
surface .i.e. An empty footwell or cleared boot of the vehicle thus ensuring there is nothing that can make
contact with the cake box during transit.
The cake box should not be placed on a car seat!
When carrying and moving your boxed cake, please ensure that it is lifted from underneath the box and not the
sides.
Please keep your cake out of direct sunlight and on hotter days please ensure your vehicle is as cool as
possible for transportation of your cake prior to collecting it.
Cakesie is not liable for damage due to client handling once the cake has been picked up or delivered. If your
cake is damaged once it is in your possession, the damage will be assessed and, if circumstances allow, fixing
of the cake may be offered to you. If I have to travel to you to repair your cake, mileage fees will be applied.
In addition, further costs may be incurred depending on the severity of the damage to the cake.

domestic kitchen traces of egg, soya, dairy, gluten and nuts may be present in my bakes.
Clients are responsible for notifying Cakesie of any dietary requirements prior to placing an order.
No responsibility will be taken by Cakesie for any allergic reactions after advice has been supplied. You agree
to notify any of your guests of any allergen risks.
Non-edible Items
Many cakes will contain a small amount of food safe non-edible items (such as, but not limited to: support
dowels in tiered cakes, ribbon, cocktail sticks, etc.) you will be advised about the placement of such items but
it is your responsibility to ensure these items are removed by yourselves / caterer / guests before consumption.
Cakesie will only use flowers that are non-toxic. These will have been laid/inserted into the cake with
protectively wrapped stems/ posy picks/ straws. All flowers should be handled with care and removed before
serving.

marketing or promotion. This will include social media for example Facebook and Instagram. Pictures will not be
