The collection vehicle should have a flat surface and be clean and tidy. Please do not place the cake on a seat in the car, seats are slanted and can damage the cake. The cake should be placed either in the boot or the footwell of the car on a non-slip mat. Extra care should be taken when driving as some elements may be delicate.

Whilst an exact match of a provided picture cannot be guaranteed we will endeavour to meet your requirement as far as possible. Creating a cake is an art and may be subject to variations. This also applies to food colourings and icings. Colour matching is not a precise science and different sugar substrates take colour differently. We will do everything possible to make substrates match to each other and to match provided colour swatches, but sometimes it is not possible to make a 100% perfect colour match and some colours are just not achievable using food-grade dyes. We can only create your finished order from what we interpret from the wording of your order; therefore you must check everything is correct. We cannot match a “verbal” colour or a colour sent via an electronic device, as all monitors display colour differently. It may not be possible to create exact specifications when modelling food. However, we will work with you to ensure you are happy with the design.

Please note all hired items must be returned to us within 2 days of the event, please do not leave any items at the venue unless otherwise agreed with us.
