FAQ

Ordering

What size should I buy?

If you’re not quite sure which size is right for you, refer to our size guides. They’re located underneath the available sizes for each of our products.

Can I cancel my order?

We completely get it, we change our minds too! While we wish could, once an order is placed, we are unable to alter or cancel it at this time. We hope to have a cancellation window one day in the future.

Should the item(s) not work out, make sure to exchange for a preferred style or return for a refund. As a reminder, domestic return shipping is free.

Shipping, Returns & Exchanges

What is the shipping policy?

Once your order is placed, you will receive a confirmation email letting you know that our fulfillment team has received your order. Once your order is fulfilled, you will receive an email notification with your tracking information. Shipping fees are non-refundable in the case of returns.

It is your responsibility to ensure the accuracy of the shipping address you provide. Our automated system will dispatch your order to the address specified on the form. In the event of an incorrect address leading to a return, any costs associated with reforwarding the order to the correct address will be your responsibility.

Will express post speed up the production time of my order?

No. Opting for express post will solely accelerate the postage timeframe. If you wish to expedite the processing of your order beyond our standard production time, the acquisition of our RUSH FEE is necessary. This additional fee ensures a fast-tracked order processing, with shipment occurring within 24 hours.

Returns & Exchanges

We ask that you choose carefully, as we do not offer cancellations, refunds or exchange

If you purchase a standard design (non-personalised) we will happy offer you a credit, as long as the item is cancelled within 24 hours of purchase.

Cake Maker Questions

What size are your cake toppers?

Our cake toppers are designed to fit perfectly on a 6" cake. We don't give an exact size, as this will change depending on font and the number of letters in the name or word.

My cake is 10 inches. What size cake topper should I order?

We offer 6 inch and 8 inch cake toppers, and we find our 8 inch size works perfectly with 10 inch cakes.

There are 8 letters in my name; will this work with a cake topper?

Yes, however, the text or font size will be small and hard to read. If you have more than 7 letters in a name, we would highly recommend you upgrade to a 8 inch design and if you use this on a 6 inch cake, it will hang over the edge.

I have left my order until the last minute. Can you help?

Yes. We have an option to upgrade to RUSH FEE. This will fast track your order and we will have it in the post within 24hours. You will need to select EXPRESS post or collection, otherwise your order will be delayed.

What is a cake fropper?

Cake froppers are designed to sit on the front of your cake, and as they are smaller, they are more affordable than a cake topper. They also allow the cake maker to add decorations to the top of the cake, such as flowers, confectionary or a different type of cake topper.

How do I stick my cake fropper to my cake?

To mount your cake fropper onto the side of your cake, use buttercream. For extra support position toothpicks underneath and around the fropper and this will keep it in place.

Are you cake toppers food safe?

Yes they are; they are made from cast acrylic and can be damp wiped for re-use. We do not recommend submerging in water, as this could damage the acrylic; especially mirrored acrylic.

Will you send me a design mock up?mockup

We only send design mockups with our bespoke cake toppers. In saying that, we are happy to send you one; however, you will need to request this by leaving us a message at checkout.

How do I insert my cake topper into my cake without breaking it?insert

We strongly recommend you use a long kebab stick or chopstick to create a hole in the centre of your cake. Then use the STAKE or STICK part of the cake topper and gently push into the hole. Do not use the text, as this will break and we will not take responsibility for this.
