BALANCE DUE

The balance of payment is due (via bank transfer or credit card) TWO WEEKS prior to delivery. Orders will not be delivered or completed unless paid in full. If placing an order within that two-week period, then full payment is due & payable for this order to proceed.

CONFIRMATION OF ORDERS

Please ensure all contact details, personal information, the spelling of names, design requirements, delivery & collection details, and any requested changes have been properly documented on your cake confirmation. Notify AVALYNN CAKES via Phone or Whatapps immediately of any errors.

CANCELLATIONS/CHANGE OF DATE

• All cancellations/changes must be received in writing.
• In the event of cancellation,
  • A full refund will be issued if the cake is canceled 1 month before the date is due.
  • 50% refund for cake canceled 2 weeks before the date is due.
  • There will be no refund for cancellation notice that is less than 2 weeks.
  • All refunds given will be put on in-store credit to be used at a future date. No cash refund will be given. Sorry.
• However, if AVALYNN CAKES has to cancel the order with you for any particular reason due to health, family, or situations out of our control, a full refund will be provided to you, as well as assistance in finding a suitable decorator with similar experience to complete your order.

CANCELLATIONS, OR CHANGES DUE TO COVID

If you are currently booked with us and wish to reschedule or downsize your order due to Covid, then we will happily take care of this for you, with no penalty. If you are not able to do this and wish to cancel completely, then you are welcome to a full refund.

However, plenty of notice is required for this option. Canceling the week of the event, and expecting a full refund, may not be an option at this late stage. Please be mindful, many hours go into the creation of a cake. Quite often the sugar/fondant work is created in advance. This will be taken into account, and a refund for the remaining monies will be offered.

CHANGES

We ask that all changes are made prior to the two-week cut-off period. Thank you for your understanding.

QUALITY

• At AVALYNN CAKES we pride ourselves on the quality of our products and services.
• All our ingredients are of the highest quality. All 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.
• It is important to remember that cakes are a perishable and delicate product.
• Our aim is to provide only the freshest and highest quality cakes to our customers.

STORAGE AND CAKE CARE

• Our cakes are best served at room temperature.
• Keep buttercream and fresh cream cake refrigerated (with box) until a couple of hours before serving.
• Remove cake from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature (we recommend 1 hour) to develop the best flavor and texture.
• If it's a fully covered fondant cake, DO NOT keep it in the refrigerator. Instead, leave it in a cold air-conditioned room.
• All cakes must NOT be left in any warm or hot environment.
• Some cake decorations are nonedible.
• Fondant figurines and flowers may have skewers inside. DO NOT give it to children for consumption.
• Tall and tier cakes may have dowels or plastic straws in the cake to support the cake structure. Remove all support materials before serving.
• DO NOT smash someone's face into the cake as the support materials might cause injuries.
• Refrigerate leftover cake in an airtight container. Best eaten within 5 days.
• Cake can be frozen and it's best eaten within 6 months.
• Please note: All of our cakes contain dairy, egg, & gluten. Our kitchen is not a nut-free environment.

DAMAGE

If for some reason the cake has been damaged when it has left our premises (whilst in your care), or after delivery to the venue, then we take no responsibility. However, if you request an emergency call-out, we will endeavor to restore the cake to its original presentation, at an agreed call-out fee.

DELIVERY

DELIVVER OK is our trusted partner for all cake delivery arrangements. Should you need a delivery service, we require an address to provide a quotation. 

The cake will be delivered in the time slot as follow. You are required to choose a time slot when you book your delivery service with us: 

• 11am - 1pm
• 1pm - 3pm

• 5pm - 7pm

TRANSPORTING YOUR CAKE

Should you choose to pick up your own cake, please follow the guidelines below:

• Always keep the box/cake level. Do not tilt the cake box.
• Make sure to support the bottom of the box when carrying.
• Secure a flat & level surface in your car to place cake during transport (Passenger floorboard is ideal).
• We do not recommend having someone hold the cake on their lap.
• We do not recommend placing the cake in the seat of a car.
• Keep the car cooler than usual. Cake & frosting get very soft in warm environments.
• Never leave the cake in a hot car or in the trunk.
• Allow extra time for transporting your cake to the event site. Drive slow. Try to avoid sudden stops.
