Bespoke cakes & Private orders

For any changes to your order please email us at info@sussexbakehouse.co.uk we will need 48 hours notice.

For any cancellations, we need 72 hours notice.

If you do need to change the date or time, we will always help if we can but can’t guarantee it if we are booked for the date in question.

If someone else is collecting the cake, please ensure they send a picture of the cake to make sure you are happy for it to leave the shop.

No receipt is required for collection, just please quote the name on the booking form, not the name on the cake.

If for any reason you are not happy with your cake order, please contact us immediately by email to info@sussexbakehouse.co.uk

We may ask that you return the product to us for quality inspection or provide photographic evidence within 24 hours from receipt of the order. If the product is faulty or misdescribed we will either correct the mistake or provide a replacement prior to your event. If this is not possible we will offer some or all of your money back as store credit.

Our Glutenwise products are made with ingredients which don’t contain gluten, but are prepared and handled in a gluten environment. They therefore cannot be legally described as gluten free.
