No refunds are given for damages incurred to cakes when a client is transporting their cake. Once the cake leaves our shop we are no longer responsible for damages.
Some specialty orders may require a deposit. All deposits are considered non-refundable.
This applies for ALL ORDERS (custom, pre-orders, online etc): All orders are scheduled for personal appointment pickups. We count on clients to be ON TIME for their order pickups. Generally we permit a 30 minute "grace period" as we understand "things happen" from time-to-time. However, we make no guarantee that staff will stay late to accommodate your personal schedule- especially when you are a "no call, no show." Customers should be advised that any pickup that is later that 30 minutes will be assessed a $40 late fee covering up-to one hour (additional fees may also be incurred for egregious/additional time).
Orders that are not picked up on time run may not be able to retrieve their orders once staff has left for the day. Because our hours vary based on other appointments, meetings, etc we reserve the right to close/leave the building once your order is deemed to be a "no call/no show." We also reserve the right to close/leave the builiding if your late pickup will cause tardiness or issue with another clients order/experience/meeting etc.
In the event you have contacted us regarding being late, we will do our best to accommodate your tardiness. However, this may mean picking up your order on an alternate day if nobody is available to return to the cake shop (or stay late). A late pickup fee will still be assessed.
Orders may not be cancelled to avoid late pickup fees.
