Non-Edible Items
  • Most cakes contact small portions of inedible items: it is the clients' responsibility to ensure that they are removed by you, your caterer or a nominated guest before consumption. These include support dowels in tiered cakes, ribbons, wired flowers, dried pasta in some toppers, crystals, flower picks etc.

  • Consultations are limited to 3 cake flavours unless otherwise stated.
Stand Hire
  • We hire out a selection of cake stands at reasonable prices. For these, we do require a fully refundable cash deposit on the proviso that they are returned in the condition they were hired to you and in the correct packaging and in the allotted time.
Parking
  • We do have off-street parking. Please feel free to park on our driveway when attending a consultation or collection a cake.
Copyright
  • As copyright is a big issue please be aware that although we do request permission to use other cake decorators' designs, this is not always an easy process and may result in the design being altered.
  • As Karen’s Crafted Cakes do not hold a licence to do such cakes as Disney etc. These will not be created unless we are provided with the figures/ornaments from a licensed UK stored (this means we will not buy them on auction sites). We can also provide these at the retailed price.
