Can I get a refund or replacement for a late or missing cake delivery?

If your cake delivery is late, missing, or if you have to cancel due to circumstances such as the recipient going on holiday, please contact us as soon as possible. We will investigate the issue and offer you a replacement cake for the next available date. We apologise for any inconvenience and disappointment caused by delivery issues and assure you that we are dedicated to preventing such occurrences in the future.

Refrigerated delivery

Our entire fleet is refrigerated, which guarantees your cake's safe arrival. Our cakes are best enjoyed at room temperature and need 2-3 hours at room temperature to soften (if the cake is particular large it could be good to wait 4 hours), so try to arrange for your delivery to arrive a few hours ahead of your celebration wherever possible.

If you’re not able to receive your delivery

If you are not available to receive the delivery, we’ll attempt to make contact with you and look to leave the delivery in a safe place with your permission. If we bring it back to our bakery, we will contact you to make alternative arrangements.

How can I confirm my delivery time for an order?

Our delivery windows typically do not provide an exact time. A message will be sent on the morning of the delivery with an ETA which can change if the driver experiences traffic. Postal order customers will be contacted by our courier on the day of the delivery via email and text also.

What if I'm not available for the delivery window I've selected?

If you are not available for your selected delivery window, please notify us in advance. We cannot promise a precise delivery time, but we can attempt to arrange an alternative. If you're not home, the driver may leave the delivery with a neighbour. Please provide clear instructions if you wish to designate a specific neighbor in such instances.
