PLEASE NOTE: we do not usually
do birthday cake deliveries midweek ESPECIALLY on a Friday due to the fact that
this is our busiest day, Wedding cake deliveries on a Friday can be arranged
with notice. I work alone and do not always have time to do
deliveries during the week unless
arranged well in advance.YES you certainly can pick up your own cake and deliver it to the reception if
you wish! However,
We
do not take responsibility for any cake that is transported either locally,
nationally or internationally by our customers, customers friends and families

TRAVELLING ON A
PLANE WITH YOUR CAKE:
NATIONAL/INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL
At your own risk. We box the
cake/cakes, and deliver to an Auckland address, but it is the customers
responsibility to deal with airline rules and customs regulations, packing and
protection is the customers responsibility, we do not pack for national or
international travel sorry . Many brides and
grooms have taken their cakes
on planes with no problems at all but with all the new security rules, we will
not guarantee that you will have no problems getting them through customs. For security reasons we
do not deliver cakes to the airport and leave them there except with the
customer. Usual size of a box with a wedding cake in is 18" square carboard box (#7 box), we are not responsible for packing for travel. WEIGHTS OF
CAKES: As each cake is different depending on size and design we cannot provide
an approximate weight for cakes for travel. Many cakes have handmade
or ceramic figurines or hand carved chocolate seashells and accents on and this
can add weight to cakes so we could not even try to guess the approximate weights of cakes
before they are completed,
although a 3 tier cake usually weighs around 10-15 kilos fully decorated.
Cakes should ALWAYS travel in fragile cargo, customers should use bubble wrap packaging around
cakes to prevent tilting during travel, the cake is always sitting on a piece of
non slip mat in each box. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE IF THE CAKE IS DAMAGED
DURING TRAVEL OR STORAGE, we cannot be held responsible once the cake leaves our
studio because we are not able to monitor the travel or storage. We will
not refund if the cake is damaged or left in a humid area where it will be less
than fresh. Cakes should not be refrigerated, the best place to store a
completed cake is in a cooler or on a cool bench/table away from heat or direct
sunlight. Cakes can usually last a week or sometimes more if stored
correctly but humidity will mean the cake is less fresh if kept in storage.
