When a cancelation is made with the proper notice, we are able to accommodate another customer’s order to fill the open spot. However, when a last-minute cancellation is made, we are not able to make up for the lost sale, thus the cancellation fee.

ONLINE CAKE GALLERY:

The online cake galleries that are featured on our website display a wide variety of specialty cakes that have been designed by one of our talented cake decorators in the past.  Each cake is labeled by number for easy communication and is available to order at any time (given the appropriate notice).  If you see something you like, simply fill out the cake order form with your desired details and one of our team members will be in touch within 24-48 hours to provide pricing and other important information related to the selected cake.  If your cake is for less than 48 hours’ notice, please call the store to confirm that it can be done given the time restriction.

Please note: color, font and décor for all the cakes in our gallery may not be EXACT. Minor details vary depending on each cake decorator’s style and technique.  When ordering your cake, you agree to this policy.

SPECIALITY CAKE ORDERING:

Our store front associates are trained to take basic cake orders and also have the ability to provide pricing on any specialty cake listed on our website.  If you have a special request outside of what’s shown on our website, please email us at one of the below emails and one of our cake consultants will be in touch with additional information & pricing.

CREATIVE FREEDOM POLICY:

Our team of cake decorators are very talented and have many years of experience in the cake decorating industry.  Please allow them CREATIVE FREEDOM to make/decorate your order as they see fit. As the customer, you may suggest themes, color palettes/tones, and other general decorations, however – EXTREMELY SPECIFIC requests may not be granted.  Please keep in mind exact replications are not possible, as each decorator has their own styles and techniques.

MERCHANDISE CREDIT/REFUND POLICY:

Any discrepancies with a product after it has left the store must be documented with a photo, or you must return the item to the store within 48 hours of pick-up.  Merchandise credits or refunds will not be honored without proof of discrepancy, NO EXCEPTIONS.

We do not give refunds or credits unless a mistake was made on our part. Mistakes DO NOT include décor details such as (but not limited to) color shades/tones, writing type, décor placement, etc. that was not specified in the original order.  This is strictly enforced by our creative freedom policy.

We require all customers to review their completed cake/order before leaving the store to ensure all details look correct.  If there is an error (i.e. spelling of name) we can easily make this change for you in-store before leaving.  If you are sending someone else to pickup for you please ensure they know all the details to look for.  Once the item leaves the store (and the cake as been reviewed) we are no longer responsible for any faults to the cake.
