Delivery
We pride ourselves in our customer service and quick order turnaround. Most orders ship within 48 hours of being placed with only an additional 2 days required for special orders! To insure safe and reliable delivery of your Baby Cake, all of our products are shipped via Fedex UK and must be signed for at the address to which they are consigned. Once your order is placed, we will make every effort to ship it to you within 2 days.
Consequently the average turnaround time, from the time your order is placed on our website until it is received, is 3 - 4 days. Special orders necessitate an additional 48 hours to prepare and therefore require 2 extra days before it is received. Any order paid for by cheque will not be dispatched until funds have cleared.
Delivery Charges
We use Fedex UK for deliveries and charges are £8.95 per cake.
Postage to the Channel Islands:
We are able to post our baby cakes to the Channel Islands for a price of £8.95. The postage will be via the Royal Mail and will take 5 working days.
Local Deliveries
We can deliver free of charge any cakes within a 15 mile radius of our workshop, please contact us to see if you fall into this area. We can also deliver to POOLE or DORCHESTER Hospitals should this be requested.
Your Right To Cancel

Any product returned to us must be unused and in the same condition and packaging as it was dispatched to you.
