2 - PRICES

 What determines the price of your cake? - The complexity of your cake design, the amount of sugarcraft detail of the cake, the amount of servings. These are the 3 main details that we will require in order to give you a quote. However, we also factor in some other costs: such as our time, the ingredients, years of expertise, insurance fees, courses and training and providing a professional reliable quality service.

Please bear this in mind for both celebration cakes and wedding cake quotes. See Prices and Portions for guide prices.

​

​

​

DESIGN CONDITIONS

DESIGN MATCHING - ​Although we often ask for a picture design idea, we will not copy any other cake makers cakes like for like. This is mainly to gauge a visual perception of your desired standard. 

​

COLOUR MATCHING - We will attempt to colour match as much as possible, but will not be able copy exact colours. Many online pictures may have been colour enhanced and we can only work within the boundaries and limitations of fondant colours. We will however aim to colour match as close as we possibly can to any swatch colours provided. 

​

6 - ALTERATIONS & CHANGES

A change of venue or change of date :

- We are happy to accommodate any change of venue or change of date as long as the date is still available and as long as we have been given the same amount of notice as the Final Payment Date. (see section 4)

 

Alterations to your cake design :

It is your responsibility to check the quote thoroughly. Any amendments to the design should be made as soon as possible in writing. 

If requested, we will endeavour to adjust the design where possible, but sometimes this is not possible according to the nature of the request or amount of notice given. If the alteration affects the cost, or preparation work for the original design has already been undertaken, then your balance will be adjusted accordingly. Please warn us when you pay your deposit if you are undecided on the design. 

We reserve the right to change the design at any point if circumstances beyond our control, may compromise the quality of the finished cake,

e.g. melting of any hand-made sugar art pieces due to weather conditions. 

​

Each cake is made individually by hand, so although every effort is made to ensure consistency, a small amount of variation in colour and design may occur from the original design requested and/or picture supplied.  

​

7 - SUGAR ART PIECES / CHOCOLATE

We recommend a cautious approach, if you are considering a cake decorated with sugar art pieces or chocolate for a wedding or any other event. We cannot accept responsibility for any melting or natural changes of any part of the cake once it has left our possession, as we have no control over the environment/the venue room temperature. We can however advise you of designs that are less susceptible to melting and we will do everything within our control to reduce the impact on the cake. You may wish to ensure that your cake is not positioned close to an outside window or heating source at your chosen venue.

​

8 - HOME BAKED FRUIT CAKES

We understand the sentimental significance of having a family member bake your fruitcake, which you may request us to ice / decorate. We are happy to do this for fruit cakes (but not sponge cakes) however we must ask that the cakes conform to our strict guidelines so that we can achieve an appropriate finished look and you are not disappointed with the end result. 

We cannot be held accountable for any flaws, which are as a result of the cake being baked by someone other than ourselves. Please enquire for further advice before baking the cake.

​

9 - FRESH FLOWERS

For celebration cakes (non wedding cake) that require fresh flowers, these are not included in the price. We can work with you and your florist but may expect you to make all the necessary arrangements with the florist. Please note that we are not responsible for any problems with your fresh flowers and the effect these fresh flowers have on the appearance and overall quality of your cake once delivered. 

We do not take responsibility for any damage rendered to the cake caused by a floral arrangement that was implemented by you or your florist. Note that some flowers are poisonous and are not recommended for cake decorations. 

 

For wedding cakes, we can quote for certain (season permitting) fresh flowers to be included in the price.

If fresh flowers are used, the cake will be set-up as late as feasibly possible to ensure their freshness throughout the day, but depending on the varieties used & the weather conditions at the time, it may be necessary to cut the cake relatively early on in the proceedings to ensure their freshness for the photography.

Note: Some flowers are poisonous and are not suitable for use on food products, you should notify your flower supplier of your intention to use any flowers on food to ensure that non-poisonous flowers are used. We do not take responsibility for any damage rendered to your wedding cake caused by a floral arrangement that was implemented by you or your florist.

​

Cross Contamination - Please note that all of our cakes and food products are baked fresh with fresh ingredients in our small and compact kitchen, which we use for personal use too.

​

COLLECTION CONDITIONS

11 - TIPS TO AVOID DAMAGE IN TRANSIT

Please remember that cakes and cake decorations can be very delicate items, often made with sugar based ingredients and we do not accept responsibility for any damage that is done to the cake, the cake toppers or any of its decorations after it has left our premises. Please take weather conditions into consideration - Hot , Humid and Cold weathers all have their own specific issues that may affect the quality of your cakes journey. Gravity and bumps and turns in roads will affect the balance of a cake being transported. We do NOT recommend travelling with any tiered cakes in your vehicle as cake supports are not designed to withstand any form of transport. Please note that on occasions the cake lid will be placed under the cake box for stability at collection, as our cake decorations are often too tall to put the lid on top of the cake box and may be covered with clear cellophane instead. 

​

Please inform us at the time of booking if you intend to be transporting the cake on any public transport or via private transport for any particular distance, as we may need to take this into consideration during the construction phase or during the designing stage, so that we can try to minimise any potential damage in transit. We may need to add additional support sticks or dowels. 

​

Please give us plenty of notice that you intend to collect your cake, as it may need additional dowel support between tiers, which will need to be put in place during the making of the cake, which will be days before the collection date. Your cake box may also need height extensions put in place for the lid or cellophane wrap to be added, in order to protect your cake from any weather conditions.

​

IMPORTANT - read this before your cake collection :

Here are some tips to avoid damage to your celebration cake, wedding cake OR cupcakes during transportation: 

​

In warmer weathers open doors and windows or cool the car temperature down using any form of air conditioning for at least 10 minutes before placing your cake in the car. Use the vehicle air-conditioning during transport in warmer weathers too. Some cakes will require being transported in cool boxes which are designed specifically to keep cakes cool during transport. 

​

* Collection of single tier celebration cakes, cake toppers and cupcakes - 

Aim to have a second person to assist you with the collection. We recommend placing your cake box on a flat surface and on a blanket, either being held on a responsible passengers lap with a blanket under the box or alternatively to be placed securely on a flat surface, such as the footwell of your vehicle. Ensure that the box is kept even, secured and not tilted backwards. As car seats tend to lean backwards, we do not recommend placing your cake box directly onto any car seat. By using a blanket or an alternative item, this could provide a cushion effect and could provide some protection to limit vibrations, movement and aims to absorb any effects from uneven road surfaces. Keep an eye where possible on the box during transportation and whilst carrying the cake box to avoid any uneven surfaces or trip hazards. 

 

* Collection of tiered celebration cakes and wedding cakes - 

We strongly advise you to ask us to deliver and set up any tiered cakes and/or wedding cakes - READ Delivery Conditions below.

Each cake tier will be boxed separately, as we do not recommend travelling any distance with stacked cakes - all decorations (flowers and toppers) would need to be set up by you. You or your designated responsible person will need to set up the cake and its decorations at the venue. We will not be responsible for any damage done or errors made during the set up. 

​

For transporting tiered cakes, if there is no other way, then we recommend placing your cake box or boxes on a non slip flat surface in your vehicle snug and secure to avoid any sideways movements OR on the lap of a responsible person sitting in the back seat. The driver must take more care than usual driving slower than any given speed limits and on the approach of traffic, traffic lights, making any turns or by avoiding any sudden car manoeuvre or sudden stops. Even a slight hill may cause a tiered cake to fracture or collapse. 

​

We use a "Cake On Board" sign in the back window during all cake transportation.

During longer journeys, we advise that you make regular stops and check the condition of your cake. 

When you arrive at the venue, check the route before taking the cake out. Walk the full distance to the set up room in order to establish any stairs, trip hazards and the shortest and safest route. Most venues will enable you to use a fire exit door directly to the venue room, a back door, a lift access or even the use of a catering trolley on wheels to avoid carrying it. 

​

Summary Reminder - In all cases of transporting cakes : 

Avoid any excessive heat or direct sunlight as cake decorations are likely to melt in warm environments. A cold travel environment is best, so we recommend putting the air conditioning on in your car, before collection and during transportation, especially during warmer months. Whilst driving, avoid any sudden movements, potholes or sharp corners and drive slowly to prevent any excessive cake movement and any topper damage to take place. For an additional £5 hire charge you can hire our "Cake on Board" car window sign, which alerts other drivers that you may at times need to drive below the required speed limit. 

​

Alternatively ask us for our delivery costs to deliver to your venue.

DELIVERY CONDITIONS

​​

12 - Delivery Charges

Delivery charges are calculated on a mileage and time basis. Alternatively, cakes can be collected from our premises at no extra charge.

 

Any deliveries up to 5 miles from PL6 7DJ - £5

Any deliveries over 5 miles from PL6 7DJ - ask for details

​​

* Local wedding Cake deliveries are FREE and set up is FREE , as this is included in the price of the quote up to a certain distance. 

This applies to  local wedding events only. * Wedding venues requiring delivery and set up that are situated beyond 10 miles of PL6 7DJ will incur an average charge of £1 per mile.

​

If you choose delivery, it is our intention that your cake will be delivered in perfect condition prior to the start of your event. However we ask for patience with factors that may be beyond our control (e.g. traffic conditions) as we cannot be held liable for any such delays. In some circumstances, we may recommend the cake be delivered in advance. It is your responsibility to ensure that you inform us of your correct ceremony and event time information, plus the full postal address of the venue as noted on the signed Agreement Contract (Wedding cakes only). In the unlikely event of late delivery, the maximum compensation will be a refund of the delivery price.

​

We may on occasions decide to deliver your cake free of charge to your chosen venue or restaurant at management discretion, in order to ensure that a complex cake design reaches its destination in perfect condition.  

Please ask for your individually priced delivery charge or alternatively you may opt to collect directly from us.

​

We cannot be held liable for any damage that is rendered to the cake at the event or venue once we have left the premises. It is with this in mind that we require somebody responsible, to check that they are happy with the cake before we leave. 

​

NOTE: Be aware of sunlight, heat, temperature and the location when choosing the location of your cake.

This is your responsibility so you may wish to ensure the best man, person in charge, responsible person takes note.

​

If you choose to collect your cake, we will not be held liable for any damage to the cake once it has left our premises. Tiered cakes are most at risk during transport; we highly recommend that you check your wedding insurance covers cake damage. If necessary we can offer you advice on the best means of transporting your cake. see video in T&C section 11. 

Late requests for delivery (after securing the booking based on collection) will be accommodated where possible, but cannot be guaranteed.

​

13 - WEDDING CAKE SET-UP

It is the clients responsibility to ensure arrangements are made for the wedding cake table, linen, cake stand & knife, which should all be set- up prior to our arrival. If any delay is incurred due to these not being set-up, we reserve the right to charge for any delay incurred (labour/time costs at £20 per hour). Alternatively please arrange for the cake to be left with the event manager to assemble/move into position as appropriate. Please take extra care to ensure a stable  and level cake table is available if you are having a marquee wedding, as surrounding floorboards can easily rock the cake once stood on. 

​

We cannot be held liable for any damage that is rendered to the cake at the event or venue once we have left the premises. It is with this in mind that we require somebody responsible, to check that they are happy with the cake before we leave. 

​

NOTE: Be aware of sunlight, heat, temperature and the location when choosing the location of your cake.

This is your responsibility so you may wish to ensure the best man, person in charge, responsible person takes note.

​

MORE ABOUT YOUR CAKE

​

14 - PORTION GUIDE 

Our Love2bake portion guide calculations are intended as a guide only. This will vary dependant upon how the cake is cut. 

We can offer an estimated portion guide calculation for our celebration cakes and also for wedding cakes, based on the Wilton cake portion guide (2"x1"portions) - (1"x1" portions for fruit cake slices and coffee size portions).

Please ensure that you order sufficient cake for your requirements, as we may not be able to change the size once the order is finalised. 

​

15 - BEST BEFORE DATE 

Please store your cake in the cardboard box provided away from any heat source and not in a fridge. 

Please consume your cake before the Best Before Date provided in your "Important Information" envelope or within a week of the event for wedding cakes.

​

Your cake is baked to ensure it is fresh and in perfect condition for the date of your event, we cannot guarantee its quality if it’s consumed at any time after the Best Before Date. (See "Important Information" envelope attached to your cake order) . Our cakes are made entirely of natural ingredients, so we’d like to remind you that, because of this they will not have the extended shelf life of most supermarket cakes, which contain additives and preservatives to ensure their prolonged life. Freezing the cake however, preserves the taste of the sponge and icing as much as feasibly possible, but please bear in mind that it will affect the visual appearance of the icing, as condensation will form upon defrosting and this would certainly affect the design and any fondant or sugar art pieces.

Food hygiene recommendations recommend that food should only be frozen for a maximum of 3 months.

​​

16 - STORAGE CONDITIONS 

Most of our celebration cakes are made with a sugar paste covering and therefore we do not recommend our sugar paste covered cakes to be refrigerated, as it may cause condensation on the surface of the icing. In our opinion refrigeration also accelerates the staling of the flour in the cake and may dry it out. Note : In some area or countries refrigeration of cakes is very commonplace, due to the climates and weather temperatures. For our cakes in Plymouth UK, we do not recommend refrigeration units for storing your cake as we don't use any fresh cream in the production of our cakes. See card attached to the box with "Use by Date" information. 

If you plan to keep any part of your cake for future consumption, please ask us for advice for the number of cake boxes you would like to be left on site (so that you can safely transport them and store them).

If you plan to keep any part of the cake decorations, please ask us for advice. We would recommend edible fondant figures and sugar art pieces to be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight in a cardboard box (not plastic or other material).

​

17 - CAKE STAND HIRE & other hire items

If you would like to hire a cake stand or any cake making equipment or decorations, then a deposit is required prior to release. 

​

The deposit amounts will vary dependant upon the value of the item being hired. Ask for details. 

Please make arrangements to ensure items hired are safely returned to us within the agreed date - preferably within 48 hours of your event or any other agreed date.

By signing the wedding agreement form, you are responsible to make arrangements for the return of the hired cake stand or any other hired item(s).​

 

IMPORTANT cake stand information

Please note that we may have hired your cake stand from another cake company or from a cake stand supplier, so it is very important that you make someone within your party aware of our need to ensure its safe return after your event. Ultimately it is the deposit payers responsibility to ensure that it is returned to us or that an alternative arrangement has been agreed with us. 

Once we receive the hired item back, we will release the deposit held subject to no damage or breakages.

​

Non return of item hired

Unless a prearranged alternative date has been arranged and agreed, the hire period will be a maximum of 1 week (7 days) from the day of collection. If the item is not returned before the 7 days then a subsequent hire charge of £5 per day will be applied for the 2nd week. After 14 days of non return of our hired item it will be deemed that you wish to purchase the item and the full cost of the item plus any other expenses and loss of earnings will be requested. 

​

You can also arrange to have your hired item collected after your event from us at an agreed address for an additional £5 (within 5 miles of PL6 7DJ) - alternative collection prices apply. This collection day and time must be agreed in advance. 

 

18 - NON-EDIBLE  ITEMS

Most cakes contain small proportions of inedible items; it is the client’s responsibility to ensure these are removed by you, your caterer or guests before consumption e.g. Support dowels in tiered cakes, ribbon, wires in sugar flowers, Swarovski crystals, flower picks & flower tape etc. 

Some flowers (e.g. Ivy) are poisonous and not suitable for use on food products, you should notify your flower supplier of your intention to use the flowers on food to ensure that non-poisonous flowers are used. All standing figures will be supported with some form of non-edible support and are therefore not suitable for consumption.

See point 12  "Delivery Conditions" section above.

​

Please do not throw any damage evidence away. We are aware that accidents and unfortunate situations happen, so please contact us first and we will do our best to assist. 

​

In the unlikely event of any late delivery, the maximum compensation will be a refund of the delivery cost that was charged. We ask for patience with factors that may be beyond our control (e.g. traffic conditions) as we cannot be held liable for any such delays. 

​

All or any part refunds are totally at the discretion of the owners of Love2Bake.
