Our cake and ordering contracts are legal binding contracts, please read them carefully before signing.

 

Cancellation and Refund Policy

You may cancel your cake order IF your wedding is canceled in its entirety. If your cake has been paid in full, no refunds will be given unless there are exceptional circumstances. If your wedding has been canceled, we will investigate to make sure the wedding has been canceled and determine if there are any exceptional circumstances that would require a refund to prevent fraud to us. Exceptional circumstances may include but not be limited to a death of one of the wedding party or events of that nature. In no event will the 50% retainer be refunded. If the wedding has not been canceled as stated, we will deal with the wedding on a case to case basis and try to offer solutions as best we can.

If you find that the cake that you ordered is too large for the number of guests that you expected, you may downsize the cake no later than 30 days prior to the event. An adjustment will be made to the price of the cake if the cake has not been paid in full. If there is a small balance left to pay and the downsized cake price requires a refund, or the cake is paid in full, there will be no refund given for the difference.

Refunds are given only in exceptional circumstances as deemed appropriate by Cake Designers.

If you place an order for a wedding cake, you are contracting our services and unless definitive proof that the wedding has been canceled, we will offer a credit for a future cake that must be used within 6 months of the cancellation.

The buyer also agrees that upon final payment and pickup or delivery of the order, that they accept the product “as is” and no refunds will be issued.

Rescheduling

If event date needs to be rescheduled, all deposits would be held and transferred to the new event date unless product process has begun. The product cost will be forfeited and a new contract will need to be initiated. A new contract will be required to reschedule, and current updated pricing would be reflected in the price of the cake. In the event that the event date is rescheduled to a date that Cake Designers is not available due to a full schedule or other previous commitments, the deposit will be forfeited and the cake will not be be produced for the new event date.

If you are rescheduling, before you commit to a new date with your venue, check with all your vendors to make sure they are available for the date.

Artistic License Disclaimer

Every cake we make is hand-made. Decorative finishes are done by hand and are subject to the artistic interpretation of our professional cake designer. You may provide us with a photograph for inspiration and duplication; however, we make no claims for exact duplication of the work done by other cake decorators.

If ribbons are part of your cake design, we suggest that you provide the ribbon for the cake at least one month prior to the event. This ensures that the ribbon is the exact color and size you desire. Once we know the size and shape of your cakes, we will let you know the amount of ribbon to purchase.
It is also up to the bride/groom to provide color swatches for us to use. We will strive to match your colors as close as possible. Keep in mind that some colors may change or alter due to lighting/sunlight.
When working with food grade dyes, perfect color matches are sometimes impossible. Dark colored icings have a tendency to darken further in time, humidity and heat. The darker colors may also stain teeth and have some residual flavor.
