The cake serving chart below is a useful guide when you are deciding on the size of your cake. It includes the cake sizes and how many servings you will get with coffee and dessert size portions. Also included is a cutting guide diagram which outlines how wedding cakes are usually cut at reception venues. Serving amounts are a guide only and are based on a 2” by 1” slice commonly served at receptions. Dessert slices are usually bigger which should be taken into account when ordering your cake.

Event dates are held for you through the date of your appointment or quote, and five (5) business days afterwards.

Design

Every effort will be made by Aida’s Sweet Treats to fulfill the expectations of the client as understood at the consultation. However due to the subjectivity of the work and the different decorators involved there may be slight variations. There are also structural limitations when using cake as a sculptural medium. As a consequence Aida’s Sweet Treats will need to make certain decisions during the process of manufacture that may affect the style of decoration, proportion or structure of the cake.

Cancellations & Deposits

If you cancel your order, your balance payment is refundable minus an administration fee of $100 provided we are notified at least 10 business days prior to the event. There is no payment refund on orders canceled within 10 business days of the event as we may have already have started work on your cake.

Refund Policy

In order for a partial refund to be granted Aida’s Sweet Treats requests that the cake in question is returned for inspection. Any other complaint not covered by the ‘Fair Trading Act 1987 No. 68’ will be subject to our customer service policy with remedies at the discretion of management.

Once a cake or dessert leaves the premises, it is the responsibility of the client. Under no circumstance will the cake be altered or refunded due to client negligence.

Figurines

Every measure is taken to ensure that your figurines are made to the highest standard; however they are made from icing and as a result are very fragile. We are happy to provide care instructions for your figurines and if cared for properly they will last for years; however we do not accept any liability for your figurines once they have been removed from the cake (photo evidence required when figurines break whilst on the cake).
