9. NON-EDIBLE INGREDIENTS, DUMMY TIERS AND STRUCTURE SETUPS

In most setups we would be required to setup the structures (especially large and tall structures) using non-edible material. To ensure the stability of the cakes we would be using non-edible ingredients such as plastic dowels, decorations, ribbon pins, sugar flower wire, dowels and other materials. We therefore strongly recommend that you do not consume these products and that these products are used only for decor purposes and are removed before consumption.

We will not accept responsibility for any injuries suffered by the client or any other third party following the consumption of such items. Our liability for such injuries are excluded to the amount that the law allows.

If any section of your cake setup is made using non-edible material or products such as dummy tiers, you will be clearly notified when placing your order. Once the design has been agreed by us, the client and it has been signed by paying the deposit, it will be the Clients responsibility to make sure they understand which cake tier to cut into during the ceremony.

We will not be responsible for any damage occurred, if the client has cut into the incorrect section of the cake.
