Cancellations

If cancellation of the event takes place, I reserve the right to retain your 50% deposit. Cancellation must be made in writing, (via email) to Mum's Cakes London, and will only be deemed to take effect from the date your email is received. I reserve the right to cancel the booking in very unusual circumstances which fall beyond our control, (e.g. ill health) during which we will refund any money taken.

Collection & Transportation of your Cake

Cakes must be collected from our premises. I cannot be held liable for any damage that is rendered to the cake at the venue after it has left the premises. Therefore, I ask that you check your cake before you leave. Please ensure the table, stand etc. where the cake will be placed is stable as I cannot be held responsible for any accidents or breakages.

As cakes are very delicate and fragile, I recommend if transporting by car, that the cake should be placed on a flat surface, to prevent the cake sliding off its board. NEVER put a cake on a seat as this can be extremely unsafe and result in the cake sliding off onto the floor, if you needed to brake suddenly. The front passenger footwell or a flat car boot is the safest place, or if you’re travelling with a passenger, on their knee.

Orders

It is your responsibility to read and check your quote thoroughly, and add any amendments to be made by email. This includes all spellings or wording to be included on the cake as I cannot be held responsible for a misspelling that has not been picked up when a confirmation that all details are correct has been given. Each and every cake is made individually by hand and I like to ensure every cake is one of a kind and unique, therefore if you have an exact design in mind, please be aware that slight changes might be made to ensure it does not exactly copy any other cake maker’s work.

Allergies and Special Diets

Please be aware that your cake may not include Gluten/ Dairy /Alcohol/ Nuts etc., but they are still used on premises and they still may contain traces of such ingredients.

Storage

Cakes must NOT be refrigerated. This will accelerate the staling of the flour and effect the icing condition, and will alter the taste. Keep in a dry cool room in the cake box and eat within 6 days.

Damages

Please remember cakes and their decorations are very delicate and fragile. I cannot accept any responsibility for any damage that is done after it has left my possession.

Non-Edible Items

Most cakes include and contain small inedible items. It is your responsibility to remove these prior to cutting and serving your cake. These items include, support dowels, ribbons, wires, flower picks plus more. You will be notified of each inedible items on your cake on collection.
