Terms & Conditions
All Cakes made by Lesley Caviel and The Cake & Sugarcraft Store (previously Cake for all occasions) are subject to the following terms and conditions
Ingredients
All our ingredients are of the highest quality.
All fruit cakes used contain nuts, or traces of nuts or nut oil.
Sponge, flavoured and chocolate cakes, are made to be eaten on the day of the celebration. The cakes are made in premises in which nuts are used, every effort is taken to keep ingredients separate however cakes may contain traces of nuts or nut oil.
Storage
Sugar paste (the soft icing covering the cake) is not designed to be refrigerated and as such cakes with this icing should be stored in a cool dry place, preferably in the box they were supplied in, refrigeration may cause colours to run.
Orders
We prefer three months notice on wedding cakes however we will accept short notice cakes subject to the availability of the date required.
Any cake ordered from a picture or photo of a cake produced by any other cake maker, can only be reproduced by cake for all occasions as our interpretation of that cake and will not be an exact reproduction of the cake in the picture or photo.
