Flowers, Toppers & Other Items (Important, Please Read):
If you’ve chosen fresh flowers or silk flowers, please read the following:
Regarding the use of fresh flowers and other items added to the cake:
I prefer that others not insert items, or make adjustments to my cakes after delivery. I want to maintain the integrity of the
cake structure, design and taste. If you have a topper, silk flowers, or other items you would like to use on the cake, please
let me know in advance, so that the top tier of the cake can be prepared accordingly.
Please also arrange for the topper, silk flowers or other items to be given to me at least ______ weeks before the event. In
addition, your cake will be on a coordinated cake board. The cake board is lovely enough on its own, but please advise us
if you will have a cake stand that you will be using, so that we can coordinate the sizing of the cake board and your cake
stand.
A Note about Fresh Flowers: If fresh flowers are requested, please ensure that they are pesticide-free flowers. I want to
maintain control of the quality and taste of my cakes and wires, flower stems, and other non-food safe items should never
be pushed directly into a cake. Many flowers are inherently poisonous, and many others, especially roses, are sprayed with
very large quantities of things you don’t want to eat. If fresh flowers are used, they should be added to the cake in a food
safe manner. I can add fresh flowers to your cake upon request, if given sufficient notice and the pesticide-free flowers are
provided to me at the time the cake is delivered. All arrangements for flowers must be made with the florist and flowers
must be ready for placement on cakes as close to the cake delivery time as possible. I will not be responsible if flowers are
late and I am not allowed enough time to place them on the cake. If it is your desire for us to add fresh flowers to your
cake, please let us know and please communicate with the florist that the cake decorator will be adding the flowers.
If you have chosen someone else to place flowers or anything else into or onto the cake, please be aware that we will not
be responsible for structural failure of the cake, the final look of the cake, the flavor from the flowers or stems seeping into
the cake, or any illness resulting from tainted food as a result of these objects.
Cake Cutting:
We do not normally stay for the reception to cut the cake. Traditionally a close relative or friend is chosen by the couple to
cut the cake. I will supply a cake cutting guide to aid those you have chosen to cut the cake and to ensure the proper
amount of servings are cut. I will also provide a cake box in which to save the anniversary cake or anniversary slice. You
should wrap the anniversary cake or slice well with plastic wrap and then with foil before storing in the freezer.
Other:
Access to the event site may be required up to two hours before the event, depending on the cake design. The table
should be a flat and with a level surface and it should be assembled, covered, and in place before agreed upon delivery
time. I do not provide plates, utensils or cutlery.
Cakes are best displayed in a cool, indoor location and away from direct sunlight.
By signing this contract, you understand that ___________________________ is not responsible for the melting, or
collapsing of a cake if it is put outdoors in the heat and/or in direct sunlight.
Complaints regarding this cake must be made within 24 hours of delivery or pick up.
__________________________________ is not responsible for any damage done to the cake after delivery is made or
once it is picked up at our place of business.
By signing this document, you acknowledge that you are in agreement with the above statements.
