2. Instructions and further information for customers ordering cakes with pictures

  • Choose a picture, bearing in mind the cake you are asking us to put it on and the writing you propose. It makes sense in most square cakes to use a landscape picture with the message written below.
  • Check the picture for clarity, focus, red eye etc. We cannot process or enhance pictures.
  • The picture data file should be as large as possible and especially so for the larger cakes, to reduce pixilation.
  • If you want more than one picture or want to add text, you can do so if you prepare it on your own software such as Photoshop or Publisher and send us the composite picture as a JPEG file. We are not able to process other formats such as Pdf or Word documents.
  • Where there is no option to upload the picture whilst ordering online, please send the picture to the branch email address as shown on the yellow copy of the order, with the order number in the subject of the email. Call the branch if you encounter difficulties.
  • The cake decorator, at their discretion may crop away “uninteresting” areas of the picture, unless you specify otherwise.
  • Placement of the picture and the hand written message will be at the discretion of the cake decorator.
  • Although we use the latest printing technology, we cannot guarantee print colours will match any other items.
  • You take complete responsibility for the use of the image(s) you provide us and indemnify us against any claims for infringement of copyright and for obtaining permission from persons for the use of their images.
  • Images on sugar paper start to deteriorate with time as the sugar paper dissolves into the cream below. Therefore, picture cakes should be collected promptly and used on the same day wherever possible.

Each order you place shall be deemed to be an offer by you to purchase the goods and/or services specified within it subject to the Customer Terms and the applicable details on the product page. No order shall be deemed to be accepted by the Seller until we (acting as the commercial agent of the Seller) issue an email acknowledgement of order. The contract between you and a Seller will relate only to those goods and/or services notified in the email acknowledgement of order.

5. Payment methods

Purchases for goods and/or services you make with Sellers may only be paid for using a debit or credit card through our payment facility (or any other payment method which we may make available from time to time). In accepting or otherwise processing your payments related to the purchase of items from sellers, we act in the capacity as commercial agent of the Seller. The Seller acknowledges and agrees that the valid payment by you to us for the purchase of item(s) between you and the Seller will satisfy your obligation to pay the Seller for the relevant item(s) and consequently, any debt obligations owed by you to the Seller for the purchase of such items shall be extinguished at that time. The Seller further agrees that it will not seek recourse (legal or otherwise) against you for payment of items if you have validly paid us. All prices shall be shown in the applicable currency and payable in that currency. You accept that some banks may charge you an additional fee for certain transactions (for example, international transactions). You accept that item prices in the currencies displayed do not vary according to your location; delivery charges will vary depending on the destination to choose to have the item delivered.

6. Refusal of transaction

We may refuse to process a transaction for any reason or refuse service to anyone at any time at our sole discretion. We will not be liable to you or any third party by reason of so refusing or by reason of unwinding or suspending any transaction after processing has begun.

If you wish to discuss or organise a return, exchange or refund of any non-cancellable item purchased through the Site (see below for a description of non-cancellable items), please contact the Seller directly using the order enquiry facility on the Site in accordance with our Returns & Refunds Policy. Any returns or refunds shall be made by the Seller in accordance with the Returns & Refunds Policy set out in the Services Standards. Cakes made to order must be collected as arranged. Preparation for personalised order cakes start as early as 72 hours before collection. Therefore, if you try to cancel your order within 72hours of the collection time, it is highly unlikely that the shop will be able to cancel your order. No refunds will be given for:

  • cancellations within 72 hours of collection time.
  • uncollected cakes- for whatever reason

For Hygiene reasons, uncollected cakes will be destroyed after 24 hours of collection time.

Purchases from our High Street Shops

In purchasing or ordering and subsequently collecting a purchase form our store, the customer understands and agrees to the following:

  • 1. On placing the order, the customer is responsible for the correct instruction of the cake requirements. This includes their chosen design number, size, colour, date and time of collection and the exact spellings of the handwritten message on the cake. It is the customer’s responsibility to check the receipt has all the right instructions. Any errors must be pointed out to our sales staff and corrected at the counter before leaving the shop.
  • 2. Cakes must be collected on the date and time consumed within 24 hours. Cakes not collected on time will be kept for no more than 24 hours and the store shall take no responsibility for their freshness. Dissolving pictures, drooping fruit, spreading colour are some of the inevitable problems in these cakes and the store shall not be responsible for their condition.
  • 3. Customers must acquaint themselves with the trading hours of our shops. Shop staff will not delay closing of shops and wait for customers to collect after closing times. Similarly, staff will not make telephone calls/ texts to remind customers of their uncollected cakes.
  • 4. The person collecting the cake is responsible for checking that the cake and writing, including spelling and colouring are acceptable and this should be a responsible adult appropriately instructed. Changes made after collection will be chargeable and even possibly refused, as they may not be possible without major re-construction.
  • 5. Customers should appreciate Shop Managers and Cake Decorators work under a busy and stressful environment trying to manage huge swings in demand. The proportion of cakes collected successfully and on time exceeds 99% throughout franchisees but will never be 100%. Customers must note that there is no compensatory mechanism for the odd occasion that there is a failure to hand over the cake the instant a receipt is produced for collection. Orders are taken for cakes at the same price as if they were available for purchase over the counter from display. There is no premium charged for a guaranteed, rigidly timed delivery. It is therefore the responsibility of the customer to ensure they leave enough time for the collection of the cake considering the possibility of late or even non-delivery.The shop staff will endeavour to have cakes ready by the time agreed and specified on the order receipt. If the shop staff are unable to provide a cake within 30 minutes of this time, the customer can, if they wish, ask for a full refund of all monies paid for this order, and this will be given back in the same mode of payment used to place the order. The maximum liability of the shop in such instance is the value of the cake. On no account will the shop be responsible for any further or consequential damages (parking tickets, Hall charges, defamation etc.). The collection of a cake for a celebration is special event in people’s lives and customers must give it the extra consideration it deserves. Where a delivery service has been agreed, The Shop management cannot guarantee the exact time of delivery. Customers should allow extra time for deliveries to come late and possibly not at all. In all cases, the shop’s maximum liability is a refund of monies paid for the cake. Claims for consequential losses or damages will not be entertained.
  • 6. Carrying the cake home is the customer’s responsibility. It must be carried flat and will usually require a dedicated person using both hands to carry it to the car. It will not survive a journey in a carrier bag with other shopping being carried in the same hand. Claims for cakes that have been damaged because they have moved in the box due to inappropriate carriage will not be entertained.
  • 7. The customer is responsible for the prompt refrigeration of fresh cream cakes on leaving the shop. These cakes will deteriorate within a couple of hours if left unrefrigerated and even less than an hour if left in a car on a hot summer’s day. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that they have the means to safely transport the cake home and access to a refrigerator of such a size to accommodate the cake when it gets there.
  • 8. Cream and icing colour dyes are edible and safe for consumption but may temporarily stain mouth, hands, and body, and also PERMANENTLY stain dresses carpets and furniture. It will be the customer’s responsibility to warn guests and guard against children accidentally soiling clothes and furniture. The shop shall not be liable for laundry charges or damages due to staining.
  • 9. Toys and accessories shown on menus are not guaranteed to be the same on the cakes as they are subject to availability. Shop management reserve the right to replace toys with something suitable in pictures if they are not available.
  • 10. All menu pictures (on website, iPad in-store or leaflets) are for guidance only- The shop does not guarantee exact replication of the cake in the picture.
  • 11. We reserve the right to photograph and use images of all cakes produced in our shops for marketing and advertising purposes. We retain copyright of all images produced and reserve the right to display said images at our discretion. We will not sell any images without permission.

Disclaimer for Delivery Orders

The drivers will attempt to deliver your cake within the given time slot. However, due to circumstances beyond our control such as traffic, if we are unable to do so, we will attempt to update you by telephone. On reaching your address, the driver will attempt to knock on your door and phone if there is no response. If the driver is unsuccessful in contacting you, he will return your order to the shop. It will then be your responsibility to collect your cake from the shop. We will not re-attempt to deliver your order. The driver will bring your order to your door or the entrance of your building in case of Flats. It will be your responsibility to collect the cake from the driver and offer any additional assistance that may be required for larger cakes. On receipt of your cake, you must check for any damages on arrival and if there are any issues, you will need to contact the store immediately. Please accept that cakes delivered by third parties may not be 100 per cent perfect and be prepared to overlook slight damages. However, if your cake is badly damaged, photos should be taken, and the cake returned with the driver to the store so a refund can be processed. It may not be able to provide you with another cake at the time and all we could do is offer you a full refund. Please be prepared for this worst-case scenario. We will share your contact details with our drivers as they may need to contact you on arrival. They will not be allowed to share your details to any other 3rd party companies. We rely on external drivers to be available to deliver your order. It is our intention to fulfil your order, but in the event your order cannot be delivered (e.g., no drivers available), we will notify you and you will have the following options,

  • 1. Collect your order from the store and we will refund you the delivery charge.
  • 2. You may wish to cancel the order and receive a full refund with our apologies.
