Fruit cakes may contain traces of nuts or nut oil. All cakes are made in premises in which nuts are used, every effort is taken to keep ingredients separate however cakes may contain traces of nuts or nut oil.
Special dietary requirements may be accommodated, but you will need to discuss these at the time of ordering.
For quality control, core samples are taken for each cake to ensure an even and complete bake has been achieved.
Celebration cakes can be ordered for collection within 7 days but our diary is limited and subject to availability; there is no upper limit on how far ahead you can book a date even if you’re not sure of the design. We prefer three months’ notice on wedding cakes however we will accept short notice cakes subject to the availability of the date required. Any cake ordered from a picture or photo of a cake produced by any other cake maker, can only be reproduced by Fondant Fantasies of Malvern as our interpretation of that cake and will not be an exact reproduction of the cake in the picture or photo. Design changes after an order has been placed may incur an additional fee.
We require a reservation fee to secure the date in our diary to produce your cake. This is taken on placement of orders for all cakes, and is deducted from the final balance payable. Reservation fees are non-refundable and non-transferable. For celebration cakes, 50% of order value; Wedding cakes, £200.
Celebration cakes: the full balance is due 1 week before delivery/collection unless by special arrangement. Wedding cakes: 50% of the balance is payable 3 months prior to the date of the celebration, final balance payment is due 1 month prior to the wedding date.
Cakes will be delivered and set up subject to availability; any arrangements for delivery may be subject to change, however prior notice will be given where possible.
Cakes are to be collected from our premises at a prearranged time and date only.
Sponge cakes (plain, flavoured, and chocolate) are made to be eaten on the day of the celebration. Keeping them for longer than 3 days before consumption may affect the freshness and quality of the cake. If there are circumstances that may occur to cause a delay in the cake being eaten, please contact Fondant Fantasies for advice on appropriate storage.
Sugar paste (fondant) is not designed to be refrigerated and as such cakes with this icing should be stored in a cool dry place, preferably in the box they were supplied in, as refrigeration may cause colours to run.
Deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable. Full payment of the cake balance is required if cancellation is within 1 month of the wedding date. 50% of cake balance is required if cancellation is within 3 to 1 months of the wedding date.
