Cakes
All cakes are as the sizes specified at time of ordering.  An approximate slice guide can be given upon
request.  Please ensure you sufficient cake for your requirements as we are unable to change the size once the
order is finalised.
All cakes are made by hand and are therefore subject to slight variation from original photograph, but still
keeping to the original design.
Sponge, Lemons sponge, Chocolate and Raspberry cakes do not contain nuts but are prepared in a premises
where nuts are used and stored.   Every care will be taken to ensure there is no cross-contamination, but
please inform us of any nut allergies.
We are unable to provide dairy free cakes.
We are able to produce gluten free and lactose intollerant cakes for 6" tiers only.
Please check your order form to ensure that all details are correct.

Weddings
Stands are available for hire with our cakes only and not separately.  A deposit cheque will be required by one
month before and the stand returned by the Tuesday after the wedding.  If we do not have a deposit cheque, we
will not deliver/have the stand ready for collection.  Stands that are not returned by the specified date will mean
that we cash your deposit cheque.

Fresh Flowers on Cakes
We do not use poisonous varieties (including ivy) and will provide a good quality silk substitute if fresh flowers
are required.  We prefer to arrange the flowers ourselves rather than your florist, but will happily liaise with the
florist to ensure the varieties match (as long as they are not poisonous).  We will quote you including the
flowers.  Flowers will be arranged onto the cake on clear acetate to avoid contact with the cake surface.  
Please ask and we will happily design a cake for you where the flowers are encased in glass or perspex to
avoid all risk but still keep the beauty of fresh flowers.................or why not have sugar!  Rhianydd can produce
life like sugar flowers for you to perfectly match your scheme.

Cake Storage and Shelf Life
All cakes should be stored in a cool dark place on a flat sturdy surface in the box provided.
Never put cakes in the fridge.
Sponge, Chocolate and lemon cake will keep for 5 days after delivery.
Fruitcake last perfectly well for months but not years.
Chocolate cakes are extremely fragile.  We do not recommend a chocolate cake being placed in a
conservatory or marquee, if you do so it is with the understanding that we have no responsibility for the resulting
condition of the cake.  We will provide information sheets for all collections which will require a signature to
show that you will comply with the storage suggestions listed.

Orders
We require 2 weeks notice for celebration cakes (but sometimes more or less due to fluctuations in demand)   
We will occasionally have to refuse an order if we are already at capacity.
1 month notice for wedding cakes (again, subject to availability).
Please check your order thoroughly before payment. For bespoke cakes, our decorators can only create the
finished article from what they interpret from the wording of the order. It is not possible to create exact
specifications when modelling food, just a graphical representation.   We will produce a simple design sketch
for your wedding cake at your consultation and follow it as closely as possible.  We do not produce design
sketches unless an order is made or for you to take away to think about.
If an inscription colour or any other choice is left un-selected on your order then we reserve the right to use our
own discretion.

not responsible for mistakes made by the customer ie incorrect/mis-spelt names or incorrect choice of cake.  If
in doubt, please supply a photograph of the cake you would like from our website.
Complaints are extremely rare and so we take them very seriously. Some complaints may require further
investigation and an immediate refund may not always be possible.
Cakes, or part of cakes, must be returned within three days to ensure we are able to fairly assess the nature of
the complaint.  The cake must have been stored at the correct temperature and in the box we supplied, out of
the sun and away from damp conditions or heat

do not refund for customers that have simply changed their mind
