Cake Consultations
Cake consultation payments are non-refundable as standard.
​
When a cake consultation is booked and paid for, Bitesize Bakehouse will put a temporary hold pencil on your wedding date until after your consultation session, subject to availability. This however does not guarantee your wedding date is booked and secured. If another booking enquires on this temporary hold, you will have first refusal to go ahead and confirm your booking with a Booking Fee payment within a set time frame, as agreed with Bitesize Bakehouse. Without payment of your booking deposit, date holds will not be made indefinitely.
Any bookings for cake consultations relating to wedding dates that already have a temporary hold will be made aware. Should they wish to continue and the date is booked by another party, a refund for the cake consultation will be made in full if it has not yet passed. No refunds for attended cake consultations where the wedding date is unavailable afterwards will be made. Bitesize Bakehouse will endeavour to clarify date availability wherever possible ahead of cake consultations.
