Terms & Conditions
The following terms and conditions apply to all Blooming Cakes by Joanna products:
1. Prices & Order Confirmation
Upon enquiry, the price provided for the Blooming Cakes products shall be valid for 14 days and is non-negotiable. Unfortunately it is not possible to agree an order and time slot until a deposit has been paid so it is recommended that availability is checked before the order is placed so as not to be disappointed.
2. Ingredients and Special Dietary Requirements
The Blooming Cakes products use the highest quality ingredients, such as flour, egg, cocoa, sugar, margarine and butter, and are freshly prepared without the use of preservatives.
To create the distinctive Blooming Cakes products food colour additives are used in the buttercream.
Although Blooming Cakes products do not include nuts, it is not possible to guarantee that the products are nut free and therefore potential customers with a nut allergy should not place an order.
For any special dietary requirements then please make an enquiry and a response shall be provided as soon as practicable.
3. Best Before Date
Blooming Cakes products are baked and created to ensure they are fresh for the date of the order and as only natural ingredients are used they are at their best if consumed within 24 hours. Blooming Cakes products do not use additives or preservatives to extend shelf life.
