The Cakes.
I warrant that on delivery or collection the Cakes shall conform to their description as set out in the Order Confirmation, be of satisfactory quality and comply with all food safety, statutory and regulatory requirements in the UK.
I will not be held responsible for customer disappointment of the design or the interpretation of the cake as long as it is made in line with the customer’s pre-agreed requirements set out in the order confirmation and will face no consequent liability. It is the customers responsibility to ensure all details within the order confirmation and sketch are correct and meet their exact requirements.
The warranty does not apply to any defect in the Cakes arising from wilful damage, accident, negligence by you or any third party, if you use the cake in a way I do not recommend, your failure to follow my instructions or any alterations you carry out. My cakes are made in an environment where nuts, egg, milk, gluten and other allergens are present. I cannot guarantee that any cake is entirely nut free although I make every effort to ensure that allergies are accommodated.
I cannot guarantee an exact replica of any cake but I will do my best to make it so. Where colour swatches are provided I will do my best to match as close as we deem possible.
Exact colour matches are not guaranteed. Fresh flowers are not included in the price of any cake design. Please note some flowers are not suitable for use as a cake decoration. Ask your florist for details regarding toxicity.
If your cake contains figures, flowers made from sugar paste, paper whilst edible, I do not advise that they be eaten, due to the possible presence of dowels for reinforcement.
The cake is a fresh product containing no additives or preservatives and it is my right to assume consumption on the day requested. Buttercream cakes should be stored in a dry place, at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and sources of heat in the box provided. They should not be refrigerated. Fresh cream/ cheese cakes must be refrigerated and consumed within 3 hours once removed from fridge. My fridge temperature will be presented on collection day/time on your receipt. I am not taking responsibility of your fresh cream/cheese cakes storage, fridge temperature. It is your responsibility to store cake in temperature between 1-5 degrees Celsius after collection, delivery.

All orders may be collected free of charge from Dorota's Wonder Cakes by prior arrangement.
I accept no responsibility for any damage sustained to the cake once it has left the premises.
If delivery has been requested I will deliver the cake on the day set out in the order confirmation to the address provided. I do not offer specific delivery times.
Dorota's Wonder Cakes will always do the best it can to ensure delivery dates agreed are achieved for the provision of the goods or services however the company cannot accept liability for delays and time shall not be of the essence.
When delivering to a wedding venue, I will contact the venue in advance to arrange a mutually convenient time for delivery. If I set up the wedding cake I shall take a photograph of the cake before leaving and, where possible, obtain a signature from the venue confirming the cake has been received in good condition. Should the venue need to set up the cake themselves I shall explain how the cake is to be displayed and where possible obtain a signature to verify we have done so. Once the cake has been delivered I am unable to accept and liability for any damage sustained to the cake thereafter nor any failure to follow the instructions provided.
Price and Payment.
The price of your cake will be as set out in your order confirmation. No Vat is payable on the cakes. A 25% booking fee is required for wedding cake orders (subject to a minimum of L50) and a L20 booking fee for all other cakes. For Wedding Cakes, a detailed order confirmation will be issued detailing the final balance and payment details. No further payment reminders will be sent and it is the responsibility of the client to ensure payment is on time. The balance must be paid in cleared monies no later than the date set out in the order confirmation by bank transfer to the account specified or cash. If payment is not received by the date specified this shall be constituted as breach of contract by the client. I reserve the right to hold the order until payment is made in full. When payment is late I accept no responsibility should I be unable to purchase the required stock or equipment to make the cake as laid out in the order confirmation. In these circumstances the cake will be made as close to the order confirmation as possible with no redress or liability on Dorota's Wonder Cakes.
Cancellation, postponement and alterations In the event of a cancellation by yourselves, charges are as follows:
More than ninety days prior to the date = booking fee only.
Ninety days to one calendar month prior to the date = booking fee plus half the remaining cost.
Less than one calendar month prior to the date = full amount.
Any payments previously made are not refundable. In the event of a postponement, the payment due remains the same as a cancellation.
Subject to availability I will carry the monies paid forward to the new wedding date. Please be aware that I will only do this on one occasion. Any further postponements will be classes as a cancelation.
You may, prior to 8 weeks before the wedding day, or 7 days for celebration cakes, amend or cancel your order by providing me with written notice. In the case of alterations, a new order confirmation will be issued detailing the changes and the new cost.
Alterations are not confirmed until a new order confirmation has been issued.
Should you make any changes after that time there will not be a reduction in the price you pay, even if your new design is cheaper than the original booking.
