CAKE COLLECTION

Cakes are extremely fragile.

K Kakes  is not responsible for the cake, once it leaves the premises.

We will not replace or refund damaged cakes. We take photos of your cake just before it leaves the premises to ensure cake is intact and as ordered. Please inspect your cake before leaving.

​

When picking up, here are a few important tips:

Bring an enclosed, air-conditioned vehicle with a flat/level surface to set the cake on. (Seats and laps are not level!) A minivan, SUV, station wagon or hatchback are best.

CLEAR vehicle space of loose objects that could fall onto or roll into the cake.

Keep cake as cold as possible during transport, and away from sunlight. Sunlight is very damaging to a cake as it melts and undermines stability.

Drive carefully. Turns, stops and starts should be performed in an EXAGGERATEDLY SLOW manner. Avoid bumps, jiggling, hills, and use a very slow speed on curves.

Cakes should not be kept in a car any longer than absolutely necessary! and MUST be stored in a cool place away from direct Sunlight.
