About us We had our cake...and sold it

How do you know if people are just being polite by telling you that your cakes are nice? You set up a home bakery and try to sell them! That's what we did and here we were with 'Have your cake and eat it' and well...so far so good! Have Your Cake And Eat Itwas created in 2010 by Lucie Richardson in her small terraced house kitchen in Soham, Cambridgeshire. Encouraged by friends and family to start selling her colourful (and wrapper licking good) cupcakes.

A little bit about Lucie...

Lucie is from Fife but has lived in East Anglia for almost 8 years. Having trained as a Fine Artist at university this is where Lucie gets her creative edge (patience & attention to detail!) for her cupcakes. Lucie currently works full time in the web design industry but the ultimate job satisfaction comes from running Have Your Cake And Eat It.

Lucie is intolerant to wheat and knows that wheat and gluten free products can sometimes be..well...pretty rubbish really! So she has strived to make our wheat free cupcakes as delicious as possible as these are the only ones she can eat herself!

TERMS & CONDITIONS

Ordering lead time and Demand

All of our cupcakes are handmade in small batches. That's what makes them taste so yummy. However sometimes this means that we might not be able to meet demand. We will however tell you this when you confirm dates to avoid any disappointment. So as you are not disappointed, we'd love it if you can give us as much notice as possible, let's say at least 3 days. If of course it's an impromptu thing like the birth of a baby or a marriage proposal, then do call us and we'll see what we can do for you. If we can, we will!

For orders of 50 cakes or more, we require a minimum of 7 days notice.

The more time we have, especially in wedding season, the less chance you have of being disappointed, so book your dates early.

Minimum order size

As we make our cakes specifically to order (so they're always fresh) the minimum order size is 6 of any one flavour. 6 delicious cupcakes won't go very far, so we advise you always order more (we would wouldn't we!)

Deposit and Payment terms

For orders of 50 cakes or more, we require 50% deposit upon ordering and the balance is payable 2 weeks before. However for orders placed with less than 2 weeks notice, full payment is required at order stage.

For orders of less than 50 cakes, payment is required at order stage and cheques must be clear prior to delivery or collection. Payment is accepted via paypal online (we will send you an invoice to make it easy - just click and pay either by paypal or your card), cheque as long as there is sufficient time for it to clear before your cakes are ready, bank transfer or good old fashioned cash.

Cancellations

If you change your mind about the flavour or design of your cupcakes, as long as we haven't started making them, then call us and we'll be happy to change your order to suit your new request. As long as we have the ingredients, and the price is the same, then it's no big deal. We want you to be happy with your cupcakes. However if your original order involved us ordering very specific items, this cost would be charged to you.

Should you cancel your order, depending on time scale and order quantity, charges may apply. Please advise Have Your Cake And Eat It immediately of your intentions.

Delivery and Collection

Have Your Cake And Eat It cakes can be collected directly from us or delivered to you or a requested address. Delivery is by arrangement only and delivery charges as per our order page apply. It is essential that when delivery is confirmed, someone is in to receive the cupcakes. Cupcakes don't like being left on the doorstep out in the cold or the sun for that matter. If for any reason you are not in, if we can re-deliver we will, however charges will apply. Otherwise, you will need to collect your cakes from us.

Ingredients

We aim to use only the best and finest quality ingredients to guarantee that our cupcakes taste as good as they look. We only use free range eggs and fair trade chocolate and cocoa.

Whilst our cupcakes do not contain nuts (unless stated), they are made in a kitchen where nuts are present and used.

All our cakes contain gluten, eggs and dairy products, so are not suitable for those suffering from intolerances or allergies to these particular foods,(unless of course, gluten or dairy free cakes have been specifically ordered).

Packaging

Our cupcakes are packaged safely in boxes specifically designed for cupcakes. As such, they should arrive to you in the same perfect condition that they leave us in. Once you take your cupcakes from us, they are yours to treasure. They don't make any noise, so remember to drive carefully!

Privacy

Privacy is important to us, and we respect that it's important to you too. We promise to never share your details with anyone, and we won't store your details (unless of course you ask us to so we can update you on any new additions to the cupcake menu).
