Sugar Savvy Terms and Conditions

General

Allergy information

Cakes and sweets made by Sugar Savvy contain eggs, dairy, nuts, gluten and sulphites.

Design

Sugar Savvy aims to produce the highest standard of cakes that closely reflect the negotiated expectations of the client. However, due to the nature of creating art with food, slight variations may need to be made during the manufacturing process that affect the style, structure or proportion of the cake and decorations.

Design changes after confirmation of an order will cost $50 and may affect the overall cost of the order. Clients may be required to pay an additional deposit or extra during the final payment.

Colour can be subjective and is difficult to replicate when working with food and also fabric. We strive to meet the colour requests of our clients based on colour samples and discussions however, the final decision on colour remains with Sugar Savvy.

** Please note reference materials provided by clients will not be returned.

Designs used during cake decorating classes/lessons are chosen by negotiation between the client and Sugar Savvy. The learning outcomes of the lessons are based on the client’s level of skill and requested learning outcomes. Designs are based on these two aspects.

Intellectual Property

All designs that are created as orders, or that are taught during lessons, remain the intellectual property of Sugar Savvy.

Quite often clients will request orders to replicate pictures they have found and researched. Where possible, we discuss with the client any alterations and new design elements necessary to create their own unique order. Sugar Savvy makes every effort to credit the original design and creator.

Cake Smash & Splash Sessions

Sugar Savvy does not take any responsibility for the damage of clothes and accessories during the session. (Including those worn by the client). Where possible we utilize our costumes, however, clients may wish to bring their own.

Where the client has provided their own cake, Sugar Savvy does not take any responsibility for allergic reactions or if the standard of the smash cake differs to those images advertised. We prepare our cake with adequate icing and especially light to make it easy for young children to tear apart.
