Wedding Terms & Conditions

Allergen Policy

All allergies must be declared upon placing an order.

Classic recipes All cakes contain eggs, milk products and gluten unless otherwise stated. Furthermore, these cakes are made in a kitchen where many allergens are handled therefore we cannot guarantee that our cakes will not contain traces of these or any other allergens handled in the kitchen.

Vegan / free from gluten recipes In the case of our vegan/free from gluten recipes, while every effort is made to ensure that cross-contamination does not occur, the cakes are not made using separate equipment or in an allergen-free environment. Therefore those with severe allergies should take extra caution. If in any doubt, do not consume our products.

Allergens handled in the kitchen include but are not limited to: fish, nuts, celery, cereals containing gluten, crustaceans, milk, eggs, lupin, molluscs, mustard, peanuts, sesame, soy beans, sulphur dioxide & sulphites.

Booking Process

Please advise us of any specific dietary or allergy requirements prior to booking.

To begin the process, we will meet for a tasting. Here we will discuss your plans for the day, design ideas over a cup of coffee and your chosen sample flavours.

After your tasting & consultation you will receive your personalised quote for your cake.

Should you choose to book with us, you will receive a booking form where you’ll be asked to accept these terms and conditions. Once this is filled in, you’ll receive an invoice for a £100 deposit to secure your booking. Your wedding date is only secure once the deposit has been paid.

Once the booking has been made, the process follows the timeline below.

2-3 months prior to your wedding date.

We will book you in for a final details call. Here we will discuss logistics, final design notes, and any changes to flavours. If you are working with a planner, I can have this conversation with them to save your time.

Any amendments required can be made.

8 weeks prior

Any final amendments to design / flavours are made.

6 weeks prior

The final balance is due.

Samples

Our samples are £50 for a box of 6 flavours from our menu.

We would usually schedule an in-person tasting for you to try these. However, we do offer a postal service when it is more convenient.

Consultation

Your initial consultation will happen during your tasting. This will then be followed by a call closer to your wedding date to discuss the final details.

We are also happy to schedule consultations with your wedding planner should you prefer.

Payment

A retainer of £100 is required to secure your date. The final balance is then due no later than 6 weeks prior to your wedding.

Failure to provide the final payment by the agreed date may result in cancellation of your booking.

Allergens & Ingredients

All allergies must be declared upon making a booking.

All cakes contain eggs, milk products and gluten unless otherwise stated. These cakes are made in a kitchen where many allergens are handled and therefore we cannot guarantee that our cakes will not contain traces of these allergens. Allergens handled in the kitchen include but are not limited to: fish, nuts, celery, cereals containing gluten, crustaceans, milk, eggs, lupin, molluscs, mustard, peanuts, sesame, soy beans, sulphur dioxide & sulphites.

Please note: all decorated cakes contain food colouring from any of the following brands — Sugarflair, ColourSplash, Fractal Colours. The colours used may contain the following E-numbers, which are associated with hyperactivity in children: E102 (Tartrazine), E104 (Quinoline Yellow), E110 (Sunset Yellow), E122 (Carmoisine), E124 (Ponceau 4R), E129 (Allura Red).

Cake Details

Post your consultation, either you or your wedding planner should review all of your order details carefully. Cake tier sizes, flavour choices, spellings of names, allergen information, collection/delivery time, and contact numbers should all be correct. Please advise us of any changes as soon as possible.

Your cake will be made according to the booking form. Therefore, it is imperative that all details are checked carefully. Any errors not picked up on the booking form before the cake is made will not be considered our error.

All cakes are fully bespoke and unique to you. Cherry & Black cannot commit to copying exact designs from other cake makers. While we are happy to use photos as a starting point, your wedding cake will be a new creation bespoke for you.

Decorative Items Supplied by Third Parties

We cannot be held responsible for delays on items being supplied from other companies, e.g. cake toppers, special-order cake stands.

If a bespoke cake topper or stand is required, please provide a minimum of 3 months' notice.

If you are ordering a topper or cake stand yourself, please carefully check the size with us to ensure it is suitable for your cake and that the lead time is in-line with your event. We always advise ordering as soon as possible.

If ordering items yourself, we cannot be held responsible for any errors in size, shape, or design as the ordering has not been carried out by ourselves.

We reserve the right not to use anything supplied by a third party if we feel it is unsuitable or unsafe.

Flowers Supplied by Florists

When fresh flowers are being added to a cake, we will liaise with your florist about our requirements, but we would always advise you discuss this with them too.

The cost of any fresh flowers will be added to your florist’s bill. We would always advise ordering a few extra flowers so we have a good selection to work with.

We can only work with what your florist provides on the day. Please ensure they order flowers especially for the cake so that the cake flowers are of the same high standard as the rest of the florals. Any unsuitable or toxic flowers supplied will not be used on your cake.

Amendments

We are happy to make alterations to your cake design and order up to 6 weeks prior to your wedding date. Whilst every effort will be made to accommodate changes to the design, please note that changes within 6 weeks of the event cannot always be guaranteed.

Changes to cake designs may be subject to an additional cost, which will be discussed with you when making the changes. We reserve the right to increase a quoted price in the event you request a variation to the work agreed.

Please take the time to check the new copy of the order form with the amendments carefully and let us know by return if any further changes are needed.

Refunds

Any refunds are at the discretion of Cherry & Black and will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis in accordance with the law.
