Refund & Exchange Policy

Due to the handcrafted workmanship of our products, we are unable to provide refunds or exchanges for custom orders and/or birthday/celebration cakes either bought from our website or directly via our zara cakes warehouse.

Once you or a designated party has picked up an order, it is considered "accepted" – Upon pick up please ensure that the design, spellings, colours and/or specific requests made at the time of booking are correct before leaving with your cake/s. - Refunds requested due to decorating style, writing, color shade, or general design will not be honored after the collection of your cake.

All products are the responsibility of the customer once it leaves our shop. We are not responsible for any damage occurring to the cake during transport, set-up or any time thereafter. You will be given instructions on how to carry, transport, and store your cake upon pick up. Please bare in mind that cakes are very fragile and damages can happen if not handled properly – such as cracks, smudges, melted frosting, etc. We only give refunds in accordance with refund policies stated below. * We have many years of experience and can recognise when a cake has not been transported correctly.

Cake flavor and texture is subjective. Full refunds requested due to flavor or texture after the cake has been accepted and picked up will not be honored. You may qualify for a percentage of a store credit if the product is brought back and the quality of the cake flavor or texture is determined to not meet our standards. Cakes must be brought back to us within a timely manner, preferably with 24 hours of pick up - please call or email us promptly to let us know of the issue. Quality determination is solely at the discretion of ZaraCakes.

Please understand that we cannot issue refunds for cakes that have already been completely eaten. *Store credit percents are based on how quickly the cake is returned, how much has been consumed, and what we determine the quality to be. Store credits of any kind will not be issued to customers who do not contact us within 48 hours of the pick up or delivery.

If you come to our store for pick up or if upon delivery the cake does not meet your expectations, we will give you a refund (minus 25% handling/cancellation fee). This refund will be given as a store credit (no cash/money refunds will be given) NOTE: If we give you a refund, you CANNOT keep the cake. You can only get the refund if you refuse to “accept” the cake. We will NOT negotiate a partial refund if you keep the cake. This is a “take it, or leave it” policy. We are not responsible for any expense you may incur for replacing our cake

We do not give refunds under any other circumstances.

Refunds are only given within 7 days.
