Terms of Service:
Our Guarantee
Baking with Bina will provide a professionally decorated dessert in a timely manner as specified in the invoice or contract. We appreciate your business and we are honored that you have chosen us for your special celebration. We guarantee that the flavors, size, and general design elements will be met as outlined. If you are not satisfied with our product(s) please let us know at the time you receive your order. Once your order is accepted, refunds will not be considered.
Allergy Disclaimer
Please be aware that although we have strict processes in place to prevent cross-contact there is still a risk of the presence of any allergen, as all pastry is produced on shared equipment.
While I will endeavour to minimise the risk of cross-contamination, I have a small kitchen and do not have separate production line areas, so cross-contamination of ingredients is possible.
My kitchen handles all the main allergens of dairy, nuts, peanuts, gluten (wheat), egg, and soy.
If you have a serious allergy to any of these allergens, or one which could cause you to have a major allergic reaction, sadly the only way for you to be 100% safe is not to consume any of our products.
Refund Policy
Baking with Bina will not offer refunds or exchanges for custom products that meet our quality standards once a cake has been picked up/delivered and “Accepted” by you or another designated party. Additionally, under no circumstances will Baking with Bina provide a refund in excess of the cost of the order. All products are the responsibility of the customer once it leaves our possession. Refund requests due to decorating style, color shade or general decoration design will not be honored or considered. We only give refunds if the product does not meet the flavor, size, and general description detailed above.
Cake flavor and texture is subjective. Refunds requested due to flavor or texture after cake has been accepted and picked up will be at the sole discretion of Baking with Bina. Baking with Bina may consider a store credit if the product is brought back to us and the quality of the cake flavor or texture is determined not to meet our standards within 24 hours of your event. Please note, we do taste our cakes daily to insure the highest quality. Quality determination is solely at the discretion of Baking with Bina. Our cakes are baked from scratch with all natural ingredients, and need to be kept out at room temperature for at least an hour prior to serving. Keep in mind, variety in temperature and humidity may impact the flavor, overall design, or texture of the cake to some degree. Please understand we cannot control changes in texture or changes in color or shape due to weather conditions.
Design Variations
Although we make every attempt to provide an exact design and to match colors, custom cakes are a work of art. It may not be possible to match an exact shade of a color, but we will come as close as possible. The final product may be subject to slight variations. Also be aware the exposure to light can cause colors to change. We do not offer discounts or refunds if the exact shade of a color is not achieved or if a variation occurs due to lighting. In the event that a major variation needs to be made Baking with Bina will communicate this to the customer and seek re-design approval.
Care and Handling
We are not responsible for any damage to the cake after pick-up or after setup is complete. The client is responsible for providing an appropriate and secure table and environment for the cake(s). Cakes are heavy and require a sturdy table, and optimal room temperature of 75 degrees or below.
If you or your representative elects to pick up and set up the cake, you assume all liability and responsibility for the condition of the cake once it leaves the possession of Baking with Bina.
In the case of fresh flower usage on the cake, the responsibility of the flower safety and safe food practices will rest with the florist and not with Baking with Bina. The person placing this order should obtain a notice of plant safety, in question, from the florist.
Baking with Bina is not responsible for any damage to the cake caused by the placement of flowers by another party or other items on the cake.
Deposits, Payments, Cancellations
