SHIPPING & RETURNS
SHIPPING POLICY
We put the same care and attention in the packing of our cakes, as we do in the baking and we do everything we can to ensure your tasty goodies arrive in the same pristine condition as when they left our bakery.
To ensure the best possible service, we use APC Couriers 24 hour fully tracked service for the majority of our deliveries and Royal Mail Tracked for the remainder. We feel that this offers our products the best possible safety in transit.
​
Your order will arrive in 2-3 days, however in very busy periods it may be a little longer, but you can of course phone us if you need it to arrive by a specific date. All parcels sent via APC Couriers are made Monday - Friday and will require a signature on receipt. If no one is at home, a card will be left and the courier will attempt re-delivery the next working day. All parcels sent via Royal Mail will be delivered with your regular post.
