All effort will be made by My Delicious Cake & Decorating Supplies to supply the products agreed upon at the time of booking.

My Delicious Cake & Decorating Supplies reserves the rights to use its discretion to supply similar or substitute high quality product under such circumstances and will try where possible to agree this alternative product with the client prior to supply.

Quality: At My Delicious Cakes we pride ourselves on the quality of our products and services. It is important to remember that cakes are a perishable and delicate product. Unfortunately, once we dispatch our cakes or our customers take possession of them, a number of factors relating to the care and transportation of the cakes may result in the quality being compromised or damage occurring to the cakes that are beyond our control or responsibility.
Care instructions must be followed thoroughly in order to avoid compromising the cakes quality and design. Unfortunately, with all the possible variables, it is difficult for My Delicious Cake & Decorating Supplies to guarantee the cake quality in every case once it has left our premises.

Supplying your own decorations/fresh flowers: You are welcome to supply your own decorations such as figurines, ribbons or flowers subject to the following conditions:

• You must ensure that any items that you supply meets hygiene and safety standards. Any item that is not considered by me to meet these standards will not be used by me under any circumstances.

• If you supply any items for the cake you are responsible for ensuring that there is a sufficient quantity of the correct type, size and style for the design of your cake.

• If you supply a figurine for your cake it must be able to be attached easily to the cake and should be capable of standing alone or being fixed with supports.

• Fresh flowers must be individually wired and taped with florists’ tape. If your flowers are not supplied in this way, I unconditionally reserve the right to refuse to place them on the cake.

• Posies or bunches of flowers must be wired and taped in a similar manner to individual flowers.

• Flowers can be delivered to either myself or the delivery address prior to the agreed delivery time. No responsibility will be accepted for any damage caused to the cake by any other person (including florists) placing flowers, or any other item, on the cake after it has been delivered and accepted by the venue.

• You must ensure that enough flowers are ordered and supplied by your florist. Any poor quality or damaged flowers supplied by you are your responsibility.

• Feel free to contact me or you may pass my details to your florist if you have any concerns or questions regarding these conditions.

Variations from pictured items: In some cases, it may be necessary to change a colour or vary a product from the picture as certain cake decorating items may from time to time be unavailable.
Please note that where colours are concerned, the picture represented on our website may not be a true representation of the colour of the cake as quite often screen colours and resolutions are not correct and therefore your cake may appear to be different in colour from that shown. Where items are provided on cakes (plastic figures, toys or handmade sugared items) they are strictly provided as decorations on a cake, and it is advised that these are not consumed. Some figurines and decorations may contain wire or toothpicks which are dangerous if consumed. If there are any breakages or faults with the items after they are removed from the cake, then if time permits these can be replaced at an agreed cost.

Photographs: My Delicious Cake & Decorating Supplies reserves the right to take and use photographs of your cake(s) and cupcakes, before, during and after set up, to use for marketing, advertising, and promotional purposes, without compensation to you.

Allergic Reactions: It is possible that cakes, decorations, fondant and other items may come into contact with nuts, soy, milk, wheat and other items that cause allergic reactions. You agree to advise your guests or anyone else who may come into contact with our products of this possibility and to indemnify us absolutely for any allergic reactions that may occur.

Refunds: As each cake is unique, so are your special requirements and concerns surrounding your order. If you have found that for any reason the cake you ordered did not meet your expectations, then please contact us via telephone or email. A number of resolutions may be available to you and are subject to your particular situation. If there is an issue with your order, please note that you must refrigerate or freeze the cake immediately and return it to us on the next business day if we are to consider a refund.
Note: All refunds for orders placed over the telephone by Credit Card will be sent back to you as a store credit not refunded back to your Credit Card.

Reporting Problems – The Customers Responsibility: All we ask is that The Customer contacts us via our Contact Page, email or telephone us and lets us know the nature of the problem.  We will do everything we possibly can to put right the issue and minimise any inconvenience.  If The Customer does not report the issue to us, then we cannot help and if The Customer decides to take to social media instead of contacting us then please be aware of our policy to protect My Delicious Cake & Decorating Supplies against social media abuse.

Social Media Abuse Policy: Nowadays few people tolerate trolling, extortion and cyber-bullying against people on social media any longer, and quite rightly too.  However, some people still think it is OK to treat companies differently.  Companies are made up of real people and, here at My Delicious Cake & Decorating Supplies, we don’t tolerate any form of abuse or bullying against our work colleagues.  We have therefore implemented a policy following the advice of various business groups and industry bodies.  This policy is summarised here:

If The Customer decides not to contact My Delicious Cake & Decorating Supplies about something they are unhappy with but decides to take to social media instead, then we must deduce that there was no genuine intention to report an issue and seek help, that the intention was simply to damage The Company’s reputation via social media rather than report a legitimate problem or concern.

We stress that we are in no way trying to control what people post on social media – this policy applies only to people who have used social media as their first port-of-call and who have decided not to contact My Delicious Cake & Decorating Supplies.  Just as our customers can choose who not to make cakes for, so My Delicious Cake & Decorating Supplies have the right to decide who we wish to do business with.  If there is no trust or professional respect, if the intention is clearly to cause damage rather than seek a genuine solution, then we will exercise that right and will decline future orders from that customer.

Disclosure of Information: My Delicious Cake & Decorating Supplies will not disclose any personal information such as your name, address, email, telephone number to any person outside of the company, unless the customer has authorised us to do so or unless required by law to disclose such information. Furthermore, under no circumstances will My Delicious Cake & Decorating Supplies sell or receive payments or services for disclosing customer’s personal information to any partner or external company.

Agreement to Terms and Conditions: By proceeding with a purchase, you are in agreement with our terms and conditions as stated above.
