Best before Date / Storage Conditions

Your cake or cupcakes are baked to ensure they are fresh for the date of your event, I cannot guarantee its quality if it’s consumed more than 24 hours after the event. My cakes are made entirely of natural ingredients, so they do not have the extended shelf life of most supermarket cakes, which contain additives and preservatives to ensure their prolonged life.
Your cupcakes/cakes need to be kept at room temperature in a cool dry room and must not be refrigerated. Kerry’s Bouqcakes will not be held liable if items are not consumed during the recommended time frame or are stored in an incorrect manner. It is the purchaser’s responsibility to ensure the storage conditions are adhered to.

Non-edible Items

Some cakes and cupcakes contain inedible items. It is the client’s responsibility to ensure these are removed before consumption e.g. support dowels in tiered cakes, ribbons and cake banners etc.

Notice for Orders
