The Cakes

We 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. We 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 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 we do not recommend, your failure to follow our instructions or any alterations you carry out.

Our cakes are made in an environment where Gluten, Eggs, Lupin, Milk, Mustard, Nuts, Peanuts, Sesame Seeds, Soya and Sulphur Dioxide are present. We produce the cakes on a premises where allergens are handled by our staff and where equipment and utensils are used for multiple items, including those containing allergenic ingredients. Although we do our best to prevent it, there is still a chance food may have come into contact with other allergens.

We cannot guarantee an exact replica of any cake, but we will do our best to make it so. Exact colour matches are not guaranteed. Stacked cakes contain dowels in each tier to provide support and these should be removed before consumption. It is advised that cakes containing large sprinkles, models or toppers are removed before consumption. 

The cake is a fresh product and it is our right to assume consumption on the day requested. Cakes containing Jelly, Fruit or Fresh Cream must be refrigerated and consumed within 24 hours. Buttercream cakes should be consumed within 3-5 days. Cover the exposed cake with clingfilm or place in an air tight container. If you have lots of leftovers, wrap slices of cake tightly and freeze for up to one month. Buttercream cakes (not containing Jelly, Fruit or Fresh Cream) can be stored in a cool dry place, away from direct sunlight and sources of heat in the box provided. However, refrigeration is recommended especially in warmer months.

Fresh flowers used on cakes are made food safe with the use of floristry tape. They must all be removed before consumption, so please ensure each stalk has the tape attached. The flowers are cut just before your collection/delivery to ensure longevity but are likely to wilt after 24 hours so please bare this in mind when ordering. 

Mr Bun The Baker Giltrows Ltd and the customer expressly agree that the cakes and all goods purchased from Mr Bun The Baker Giltrows Ltd remain the property of Mr Bun The Baker Giltrows Ltd until paid for in full.

Complaints

Complaints are very rare and due to the amount of work put into each individual cake we take them very seriously. Any issues must be brought to our attention within 24 hours of collection or delivery to give fair opportunity to assess the nature of the complaint.

We accept no responsibility for any damage sustained to the cake once it has left the premises in the hands of the client or third party.

Complaints regarding the decoration of celebration cake can be easily repaired so errors of this nature must be pointed out upon collection so as to give us the opportunity to correct them. If the cake was delivered, the client will need to bring the cake back to be repaired. Once the cake has been accepted, this confirms that decoration is as requested, and no further claims can be made. 

Where the complaint is in regard to the quality of the cake then the cake, or remainder of the cake/tier, must be returned to us as soon as possible after cutting and within 24 hours of collection/delivery to ensure that we are able to fairly assess the nature of the complaint.

Both Parties agree to not post any negative information about the other arising any online forum or website without providing the other party with a prior opportunity to resolve any issues amicably.

Please note we can only deal with the client who placed the original order.
