Cake orders places booked before or after the sale dates are not eligible for discounted rates.
Cake Storage & Consumption
At Create A Cake, we take pride in lovingly baking each and every cake sponge on our shop premises, so we know exactly what goes into them. Your cake is baked to ensure it is fresh for the date of your order only, we cannot guarantee its quality if it’s consumed more than 48 hours after collection/delivery. We are therefore unable to make a warranty as to the length of time for which the cakes will remain fit for consumption. We do however, recommend our cakes are consumed within 48 hours from collection/delivery.
Your cake should not be refridgerated, this will cause condensation to form on the cake's surface/icing and will accelerate the staling of the flour within the cake. Any cake should be stored in a cool, damp-free, dry environment, out of any direct sunlight and on a flat, sturdy surface. Create A Cake is not liable for any cakes stored or displayed in poor conditions. It is the responsibility of the customer to keep the cake in the manner recommended by us. Orders placed in a fridge or kept for a time longer than recommened are done so at your own risk and we are not liable for any deterioration of the order in these circumstances.
Freezing your cake preserves the taste of the sponge and icing as much as feasibly possible, but please bear in mind that it will affect the visual appearance of the icing, as condensation will form upon defrosting. Food hygiene recommendations recommend that food should only be frozen for a maximum of 3 months.
Refunds and Complaints
For every cake order made, the order deposit is non-refundable.
Create A Cake Sugarcraft Suppliers is unable to offer refunds on any cakes booked.Transfers to another cake order may be approved, but only in extenuating circumstances and at the sole discretion of Create A Cake Sugarcraft Suppliers. In these cases, Create A Cake Sugarcraft Suppliers must be advised in writing at least 6 weeks prior to the original cake date.
In the rare event that your cake fails to meet our commitment to quality, a refund may be offered at our discretion.
If you have concerns about your cake, please notify us upon collection/delivery of the cake so that we have the opportunity to rectify it in time for your event. Any complaints should be made within 24 hours of receipt of the cake(s) to be eligible for any form redress and if you should wish to request a refund then you must allow part or all of the cake, upon our request, to be collected by us to allow us to investigate the complaint.
We take all complaints seriously however we ask for patience with factors that may be beyond our control (e.g. traffic conditions etc.) as we cannot be held liable for any such delays. We will endeavour to resolve all complaints within 5 business days of receiving them.
In circumstances where a refund is offered, it will be limited to the value of the cake in dispute. Additional avenues of recourse other than mediation, whether it may be further compensation or otherwise, is not available.
As taste is a very personal matter and subjective we cannot accept the return of any orders merely because you do not like the taste.
Any Refunds are at the discretion of Create A Cake.
