We require a deposit on placement of order for all cakes and catering events, which is deducted from the final balance payable. A first non-refundable payment of 50% is payable upon acceptance of quotation in consideration of services to be rendered in planning of cake orde or catering service.

For last minute orders (any orders placed less than two weeks to the delivery or pickup date), full payment is required upon invoice. Preferred payment method is electronic bank transfer.
