How we pack
Cakes leave the kitchen in a thermal-insulated box on a chilled bag. Tiered cakes are dowelled internally and packed with corner braces. Sugar flowers and delicate elements travel in a separate box and are assembled on arrival by the delivery partner. Express orders travel by bike with a thermal back-box.
Receiving the order
Please be reachable on the number you gave at checkout for the full 30 minutes before the slot opens. Our delivery partner waits up to 10 minutes at the address. After that we attempt one redelivery the next available slot, which carries the standard fee.
Check the cake on receipt. If anything is off (damage, wrong design, late temperature), tell the partner before they leave, then send us photographs on WhatsApp. See the refunds policy for resolution.
Wrong address or no answer
If we cannot deliver because the address is wrong, the phone is off, or no one is home for the full window, the cake comes back to our kitchen. We attempt redelivery once at the standard fee. After that, the cake is donated to our charity partner because we cannot resell it. No refund in this case.
Festivals and peak days
On Diwali, Christmas, Valentine's Day, Holi, and the wedding season weekends, slots fill 7 to 14 days in advance. Express may be paused. We will tell you the next available slot honestly at booking instead of overcommitting.
