In placing an order you agree that you are making a reservation for my time for the manufacture of a bespoke product(s) as detailed in your order. As such, I will begin to act on your instructions immediately, if your selected date is less than three weeks from the purchase date, or before if order received less than three weeks. Once your order has commenced, the cancellation fee is 100%.

Due to the nature of the products, there will be a variation in the product to the product displayed in our gallery.

Collection

All orders are made to order and available for collection from Wendyful Cakes, Ashford, Kent TN24 8HL, at a mutually agreed day and time.

It is your responsibility to adhere to the chosen time and date. Any rescheduled collection times will be solely at Wendyful Cakes discretion and cannot be guaranteed under any circumstances.

Any non-collected orders due to sickness or extreme circumstances are refundable only at Wendyful Cakes’ discretion.

Non-Edible Items

Some celebration cakes contain a small proportion of inedible items, eg. cake toppers, support dowels, ribbons, flowers and picks etc. You will be notified of such items on collection. It is the client’s responsibility to ensure that these are removed by you or venue/caterer before consumption. If adding flowers, please note some flowers are poisonous and not suitable for use on food products. You should notify your florist of your intention to use flowers on food to ensure that non-poisonous flowers are provided. We will not be responsible for any flowers that are added after collection.

Best Before Date

Your cakes are baked to ensure they are fresh for the date of collection. We cannot guarantee its quality if it is consumed more than 48-72 days after collection. My cakes are made entirely of natural ingredients so they do not have the extended shelf life of most cakes from supermarkets, that contain additives and preservatives to ensure prolonged life.

Due to the perishable nature of these products I do not recommend keeping longer than three days. There are no refunds available on any perishable item.

Storage

Buttercream cakes should be stored in the fridge and taken out 1-2 hours prior to consumption to come to room temperature.

Cupcake bouquets need to be kept at room temperature in a cool dry room out of direct sunlight and must not be refrigerated as this can alter the taste and texture of the product.

Wendyful Cakes will not be held liable if items are not consumed during the recommended time frame or are stored in an incorrect manner. It is the purchaser’s responsibility to ensure the storage conditions are adhered to.

If your cake has been frozen, you will be notified on collection. If so, you will not be able to re- freeze it.

Allergies and Special Dietary Requirements

Any allergies must be declared at the time of placing your order.

I do not cater for any specific dietary requirements such as allergies and take no responsibility of any consequence of such. Please be aware that cakes are made in a kitchen that does handle allergens such as: dairy, eggs, gluten and nuts.

Cakes can also be contaminated at the venue via other products and we will not be responsible for this.

Note: If a colour other than natural buttercream is requested there will be food colour additives in the buttercream. If you require more information about colour additives when considering placing an order, please contact us to discuss.

Can I Cancel My Order?

Each creation is unique and particular to you. Due to the creation timeline, it is not possible to cancel at short notice. However, if more than 3 weeks’ notice prior to the collection date, it is possible to cancel and full refunds will be honoured. In this instance, please email me, quoting order no, to cancel or rearrange an alternative date. If less than three weeks, then a refund cannot be given. However, a transfer of dates will be offered.

If Wendyful Cakes cannot fulfill your order, due to unforeseen circumstances, then a full refund will be given.
