At the Little Cake Boutique, we bake all of our cupcakes and biscuits fresh to order and bake in batches just as a home baker would. Through insisting upon minimum order amounts, this ensures that our customers get the best value for money when ordering from us.

Orders can be placed over the telephone or enquires can be made on our online contact form. When you place an order with us, you are making an offer to buy goods. We will send you an e-mail to confirm that we have received and accepted your order. A member of the team will telephone you to discuss your order.

We are unable to take credit/debit card payments for orders over the phone. This is in order to protect genuine customers and help prevent fraudulent purchases being made with credit/debit cards.

Payments for orders can be made in the following ways:

Customers can pay via BACS or direct transfer (for all BACS or direct transfer orders, we request payment is made a minimum of 5 working days before to allow payment to clear.)

Customers can pay via Cheque, we request that payment is made for a minimum of 5 working days to allow for the cheque to clear.

Please note: Bank transfers must be received 5 days before the scheduled date of delivery. Any later and your order will be regarded as a non-payment and we will not deliver your goods.

Once an order has been confirmed, it is not possible to change your order. If changes are to be made, this will incur additional charges or delays.

Once an order has been paid for, no cancellations can be made after this time.

As our cupcakes and biscuits are bespoke and made to order, we require that at least 7 days’ notice is given. This is to allow for the orders to be fulfilled in time. Some orders require the careful sourcing of ingredients, intensive preparations methods and careful decoration all by hand to achieve the highest quality taste and presentation.

However we understand that it may not always be possible to order in advance and that ‘cake emergencies’ do occur! Please contact us and we will try our best to fulfil your order.

Some of our products do contain nuts and these products are carefully labelled. We ensure every effort is made to prevent contamination, as all our products are produced in a facility where a number of allergens are handled. All products may contain traces of allergens.

We recommend you enjoy all of our products within 48 hours of purchase. If you plan to eat your cupcakes on the day, keep them in a cool and dry place.

We recommend our cakes are only refrigerated if storing longer than 24 hours. If stored in the refrigerator, leave them out for between 2-4 hours, depending on size, before you eat.
