ORDERS

How far in advance do I place an order?

Online shop orders are 2 days, but please email or phone if you need a cake earlier and hopefully I can fulfill your request. For custom cakes 7 days notice is required please. For tiered custom cakes 1 month is required, but I work on a first come first serve basis so best to get your order in early.



Changes to my order.

If you need to change the order for your cake or sweet bakes, whether quantity or design, please contact me as far in advance as possible. If the request is made 7 days or less of the original delivery/pick up date, this may not be possible. It really depends on the type of request - please contact me.

The travelling cake - do's and dont's.

My baked goods are packed securely and won't be damaged if you follow these simple steps. - cakes are very heavy if you have 2 or 3 tiers, so bring a friend with you to help guide you, open car doors etc. - if you have ordered a multi-tiered cake 4WD's or station wagons with a higher cargo area are best. - never put cakes on your lap, the best space is in the boot or on the floor of a passenger seat. - keep your cake or sweet bakes out of direct sunlight. -if it is hot turn on the airconditioning and if you have stored it in the boot, fold down one of the rear seats to help the cool air circulate.

FOOD BUSINESS LICENCE

Are you and your kitchen licenced to prepare and sell food?

Every food business operating in Victoria requires Food Act registration or notification to prepare and sell food to the public. The registration system allows environmental health officers to regulate and monitor local food businesses for compliance under the Food Act and National Food Safety Standards. I am accrediated as a Food Safety Supervisor and my kitchen is annually inspected and re-registered as a food business following the guidelines of the Food Act.
