All products are made using everyday ingredients.

3. Deposits & Payments

 

A non-refundable and non-transferable deposit is taken on booking to secure the date for your cake booking in the diary. The final balance for standard celebration cakes is required upon collection in cash or via BACS payment in advance. The final balance must be fully paid and received before the cake leaves my premises.

For Wedding cakes, the final balance payment is due any time up to 8 weeks prior to the Wedding date. An invoice will be sent once any discussed amendments have been made and the final amount agreed.

Any payments made are non-refundable and non-transferable except in the unfortunate event that your booking is cancelled by Cake Inspirations. In the unexpected event that we have to cancel your booking due to unforeseen circumstances or illness, a full refund will be made, and we will support you in finding an alternative supplier.

 

No booking is finalised and guaranteed until the deposit payment has been received.

 

 

4. Change of booking details

 

Your booking is valued and important to us. On booking, we take details to create your booking form. Please take time to read over the booking form carefully and notify us of any errors before making your deposit payment. If any of these details change throughout the booking period you must inform us as soon as possible and we will amend and re-send a booking form for your reference and ours. At the time of creating your cake, the booking form is the reference point we work from.

If your Wedding date has to change please bear in mind that whilst we will do our best to, we can not guarantee to accommodate the new date. In the unlikely event that you choose to cancel your booking you must notify us in writing as soon as possible.
