Terms & Conditions

A £95 deposit is required to secure the date for your party. When you book a party with us we will often turn down other customers who enquire about bookings on the same date therefore deposits are non refundable under any circumstances and cannot be transferred to other courses or dates. We recommend leaving your deposit as soon as possible as dates are not held on enquiries until this deposit is received. You may decrease or increase your attendee numbers after booking however this number must not fall below our minimum number of 8 people in total. Increases in numbers may be possible please just let us know as soon as possible. The balance of your party will be due a week before based on your final numbers. Late arrivals will need to join the class at the point at which they arrive and we regret we are unable to repeat course content due to lateness. There is a 15 minute grace period to wait for late attendees after which the course will commence with the attendees that have arrived. For no shows or late cancellations we will provide you with the absent attendees cakes fully decorated to take away with you as these will have already been prepared. Please note only drinks purchased from us may be consumed on site. Dietary requirements –  surcharge of £5 per person, please contact us to discuss allergies and if adding the children's food option at the end of the party.
