It is the Customer’s responsibility to ensure all details within the order confirmation or sketch are correct and meet their exact requirements. 

  

This warranty does not apply to any defect in the cakes arising from wilful damage, accident, negligence by the customer or any third party if you use the cake in any way other than that which Livvy’s Kitchen Cupcakes recommended, or the Customer’s failure to follow any instructions provided, or any alterations carried out by a third party. 

  
I cannot replicate another cake-makers work due to work ethic, but I am happy to use photographs as inspiration. If you have used photographs of another cake maker's work for inspiration, please inform me at the point of discussion which specific details you wish me to use. 


We cannot guarantee the colour of your fondant, buttercream etc will be the same as those cakes in the pictures.  Lights, your computer screen and photography all play a part in the result of our photo uploads. 

The final price may change if any changes are made to the initial quoted request. (Ie. size, flavour or design). These will be agreed upon before we start the order.

Please ensure that on the collection, the boot of your car is clear to transport your cake.   

 

Allergies  

  

Livvy's Kitchen Cupcake prepares all cakes in a cake studio where we handle nuts milk and dairy. We are unable to ensure a nut or allergy-free environment.  We will do our best to use separate utensils, bowls, beaters and pans for those with nut allergies.  We will do an extra clean and your cake will take priority as the first bake of the day, but nut particles can still be in the atmosphere. 

 
Transportation  

Cakes should always be transported in the boot or passenger footwell of your car, and never on a seat or a passenger’s knee.  If needed, I can provide a piece of non-slip matting, which will ensure your cake stays in place. You should never need to bring a passenger to hold your cake but may need someone to help you lift it when you reach your destination.  When you lift your cake, please ensure it is kept level at all times as your cake may be heavy. 

I will always help you with your cake to the car if you require assistance.  

In hot weather, please ensure your car is cooled as much as possible before you arrive (either by having the windows open to ensure good airflow or the air conditioning running). Never leave your cake in the car for longer than is necessary – if you have errands to run whilst collecting the cake, please ensure I am last on your list before you go home or to the venue. 

Storage  

Your cake is a freshly made item that contains no additives or preservatives.  It will always be at its best if consumed within three days.  Please store your cut cake in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources in the box provided.  

Do not refrigerate unless the cake is filled with fresh fruit or fresh cream.   If this is the case, please keep the cake in its box or well wrapped in cling film/foil. 

You will need to bring your cake back to room temperature before serving. 

Complaints Procedure 

Please note – in the event of a complaint I can only deal with the Customer who placed the original order.   

Where the complaint is regarding the quality of the cake, then the cake must be returned to Livvy's Kitchen Cupcakes as soon as possible and within 24 hours of collection/delivery to ensure I can assess the nature of the complaint fairly and promptly. If you choose to take your cake to a third party for repairs or alterations without prior consent, your warranty is immediately invalidated and you will not be entitled to refund or compensation, as I will not be held responsible for work another person has undertaken.
