How to secure your booking for all Wedding and Special Event Cakes 

All cakes are not detailed on our website. If you would like to have a specific design, this is a custom cake which will need to be booked in advance. Whilst we have most products available, sometimes, we do need to order supplies and materials for these cakes, so we do require at least 4 - 8 weeks' notice for all celebration cakes and 6 – 12 months' notice for wedding cakes. 

Custom cake pricing starts at $250.00. Upon receiving specifications from you, we will advise you as to the cost of the cake ("Purchase Price"). We will then require written confirmation of the order from you.

Set up and Site Conditions

TMF Cake Designs requires the venue to provide a secure table. Cake tables must be set up and ready for us to use prior to the scheduled delivery time. 

TMF Cake Designs reserves the right to refuse the set-up of any cake in any location that is not properly air-conditioned or weather proofed, or on any surface that does not appear sturdy enough to hold the weight of our cakes. If these circumstances arise, TMF Cake Designs will do everything in its power to work with venue staff to find a suitable alternative.

Our cakes are heavy, and require a sturdy table and cake plateau/stand. TMF Cake Designs is not responsible for any damage caused by tables or cake plateaus/stands unable to withstand the weight of our cakes, or any cake plateaus/stands not supplied by us.

Once cakes are set up, they are not intended to be moved until served. TMF Cake Designs is not responsible for damage caused by others after the cake is set up by TMF Cake Designs.

Cakes should be stored in accordance with the instructions provided. TMF Cake Designs is not responsible for any issues that may arise out of products not being stored in accordance with our instructions.

Non-edible items

Occasionally, due to the design of the cake, we will use supports and other non-edible items for structural purposes and toppers for travelling. We will let you know about these items. It is then your responsibility to make sure these items are removed before serving to your guests. 

Sugar Flowers

Sugar flowers are all made by hand in our Blackwater Studio and whilst the flowers are made from sugar, and are edible and safe to have contact with the cake, due to the wires required to create delicate leaves etc., they must be removed before serving and are not to be consumed. 

Fresh Flowers

Fresh flowers are great to use on a cake, however please keep in mind that fresh flowers are not an edible product and there are some poisonous varieties, which may also be contaminated with pesticides, insects, dirt or other contaminates, which you may want to check out before adding to your cake. TMF Cake Designs will take no responsibility for any third party edible or non-edible items added to our cakes or baked products post-delivery.
