Variations from pictured items and artistic license

Pictures of previously ordered products are used in the Sweet Shop to indicate what a product can look like.

As each individual order is unique and able to be customised, no two products will look the same. All products in the Sweet Shop are subject to the artistic expression of Sweetly Baked Perth. 

Occasionally it may be necessary to change a colour or vary a product from the picture on our site, as decorating items may from time to time be unavailable.

Please note, that where colours are concerned, the picture represented on the website may not be a true representation of the colour of the cake. Screen colours and resolutions vary greatly on each device and therefore your item may appear to be different in colour from that shown.

Where items are provided on cakes (cake toppers, plastic figures, toys, fresh flowers, figurines or handmade sugared items) they are strictly provided as decorations on a cake, and it is advised that these are not consumed. Some figurines and decorations may contain wire or toothpicks, which are dangerous if consumed. If there are any breakages or faults with the items after they are removed from the cake, we will not replace, exchange or make new items. 

Customers may request a particular design or decoration; however all cakes are subject to the artistic expression of Sweetly Baked Perth. 

All our products are handmade and unique, so no two are ever the same. Nor do we ever replicate or copy another cake makers product. 

In some cases, it may be necessary to change a colour or vary a product as certain items may be unavailable from time to time. When a certain styling element is unavailable, Sweetly Baked Perth will endeavour to find a similar element to maintain the artistic integrity of the finished product.
