Refunds will not be given to customers where they don’t like the taste. Taste is subjective and varies from individual to individual.

Any amounts refunded will be determined on a case by case basis.
In the event of unforeseen circumstances preventing House of Royal Velvet from fulfilling the order agreed upon as stated in the contract, the customer is entitled to a full refund of the deposit and any money paid to date.

COVID Policy

In any case that you need to postpone, a 4-week notice is required in advance. It is the client’s responsibility to notify us as soon as you get a new date to check our availability. We will try to accommodate your request as best as we can.
In the event that your order is cancelled at very short notice, (for example, less than a week) and your cake has been partially made, we will still honour your order if possible, at a rescheduled date, however, costs incurred up to the point of the cancellation will need to be met by the client. When a cake is already completed within 48 hours, it can't be cancelled.
Your deposit will be refunded, in the event we are booked out on the rescheduled date.

Special Dietary Requirement & Allergies

Please note that products may contain or come into contact with dairy, wheat, nuts, soy, and other allergens.
The client is responsible to inform their guests of any risks that may exist due to the presence of the above allergens.

Tasting

We provide tasting by appointment only. There is a fee for cake tasting (Please contact us for more information of flavours)

Pick up, Set up & Delivery

Delivery fee will depend on the distance.
Some cakes may need to be set up on the venue, such as macaron and cupcake towers, and multi-tiered cakes. This takes time and as such attracts a set up/handling fee on top of the delivery fee.
Apart from wedding cakes, pick up is preferred and is by appointment only. Any requests for delivery need to be discussed in advance.
Once your cake has been collected the client assumes all responsibility for the condition of the cake including the delivery.

Stand Hire

There is a standard hire period of 3 days.
All stands hired will attract a fee; a refundable bond is also payable.
The stand must be returned in its original condition for the full bond to be refunded. The bond will be reduced at the discretion of House of Royal Velvet to compensate for any damage done to the stand while in the possession of the client.
An amount deducted will be the amount needed to restore the stand to its previous condition and may include the replacement of part or all of the stand.

Storage

Fondant cakes should be stored at room temperature away from direct sunlight and heat.
Cakes covered in buttercream should be refrigerated, especially in summer, and removed from the fridge 2 hours prior to consumption.

Client Consent

A copy of the “Terms and Conditions (T&C’s)” will be provided to the client with the initial quote.
