Late return or damaged pieces will result in the forfeit of your deposit and/or full replacement cost of the stand (whichever is greater).

DELIVERY & SETUP:
We charge $25.00 delivery and setup for all wedding/large specialty cakes in the city of Charlotte. If your event is during peak times of the year, we will only deliver cakes for 100 plus people. Smaller cakes will need to be picked up. We will coordinate the time with you – and schedule to meet you or your designee and set up your cake during our normal business hours (Mon – Fri 7am-3pm & Sat – 7am-2pm). Delivery & setup outside of normal business hours and on holidays is available in most cases. Please inquire in advance if after hours delivery is needed. This delivery fee is a separate charge and will not be included in the price of your cake. You need to be prepared to pay this fee in cash or by check at least 14 days prior to your delivery date.

In the event of cancellation: Cakes cancelled prior to the 14-day lockout date will be refunded. The $50.00 deposit will not be refunded. Cakes cancelled after the 14-daylockout date will not be refunded and the deposit will not be refunded. In the event that something occurs to affect your scheduled wedding date – please contact us to discuss options.

FLOWERS:
We are always more than willing to decorate your cake with fresh flowers or lay your flowers around the base of the cake at delivery. If you have a specific lay out you should give us a sketch of exact placement. The price of the flowers for the cake will be included in your contracted price. Flowers for the cake table (or anywhere else) need to be provided by your florist. Please be certain to provide examples of the specific colors and types of flowers you want on your cake. We will also be glad to work with your florist directly to ensure that everything matches.
      Initial
 
ORNAMENTS/ TOPPERS:
Ornaments can be brought to the bakery between 14-30 days before your wedding or event. Topping cake with ornaments that are too heavy or not secured properly may cause damage to your cake. If any party, other than a Bella Cakes employee, adds to a cake, we are not responsible for damage to the ornament or to the cake.
      Initial
 
PICKING UP YOUR CAKE:
Picking up your cake is a great way to save money. If you choose to pick up your cake you should make sure that you have a clean, flat surface to set cake on while driving. Vans, sport utility and any vehicle that the back seat folds in so the air conditioning can make it to the trunk are the best for traveling. If you are in a car, the floor is generally safer than the seat. Most of our cakes are either too large or irregularly shaped to fit in a cake box so you need to take special care to protect them. Once you leave with the cake it is no longer the responsibility of Bella Cakes.

OUR GUARANTEE:
Bella Cakes promises you the best products and service. It is our wish that by choosing Bella Cakes we can be an important part of your special day. It is always our goal to more than satisfy you… we want to create the cake of your dreams!
 
I have read and understand all that has been proposed. I have received a copy of this contract for my records.
