2. PAYMENT CONDITIONS

Pricing Policies

Successful payment secures the listed price(s) for the order and prevents any further price increases up to the point of delivery, except in exceptional circumstances beyond our control, e.g., increase in ingredient prices, increase in fuel prices…etc.

We offer discounts and other forms of promotional pricing from time to time. Hence it is our policy to display prices reflecting discounts or promotional pricing during the period of promotion. Kindly be aware that our discounts cannot be stacked or combined with other promotions, discounts, vouchers, or privileges. However, you are eligible to use the free delivery discount in conjunction with other offers.

During festive seasons, a delivery surcharge of $8.00 may also apply. It is essential that when delivery is confirmed, someone is present to receive the cake(s) at the specified time interval as, without explicit consent, we are unable to leave your order with someone else or unattended since our cakes may deteriorate if left on the doorstep. If for any reason you are not present at the time of delivery or where you have provided an incorrect, inaccurate or incomplete delivery address, we will endeavour to re-deliver, however this will be subject to a fee of $8.90 (Next Day) and $15.90 (Same Day) including GST.
