Allergies, Intolerances & Dietary Information
Please let us know upon enquiry if you have any allergies, intolerances or special dietary requirements.
Although every effort is made to prevent or reduce the risk of cross contamination, all of our cakes are baked in a domestic kitchen that handles all major allergens including but not limited to gluten, nuts and dairy products. Therefore, despite all precautions a risk of cross contamination is possible, so our cakes would not be suitable for anyone with an allergy. We can only cater for lifestyle choices.
If you have a lifestyle choice such as dairy free or gluten free, we may be able to help so please let me know upon enquiry so I can advise on possible options.

Delivery & Collection
Serving Essex and the surrounding areas, we will personally deliver and set up your wedding cake. Delivery charges are based on the round trip mileage from Honeybee Paradise Cake Company, plus travel/set up time. Please provide the venue postcode when submitting your enquiry.
Collection from Honeybee Paradise Cake Company is available for smaller cakes (1-2 tiers). The full address will be provided once your order is placed and a suitable collection time will be agreed.
Cake Transportation Tips
- When transporting your cake be sure to hold the cake box from underneath and try not to put too much pressure on the sides.
- Place in your car on a flat surface such as the passenger footwell or in the boot.
- Drive carefully and avoid sudden hard braking and sharp turns.
- Make sure the air conditioning is on full during the summer months and avoid turning the heater on during the cooler months, even if the cake is in the boot.
Payment
A £100 deposit (non-refundable) will secure your booking with me. This deposit is deducted from the final balance which will be due two calendar months before the Wedding/Event date.
Any orders with a value of £100 or less or under two calendar months away, will be payable in full at the time of ordering. We accept payment by bank transfer or cash.
Cake Stand Hire
The way your cake is displayed is an important part of achieving a flawless overall look. The right cake stand will enhance the cake design and add the perfect finishing touch.
Some venues can provide cake stands for you to use, but if it is unsuitable for your cake design and you would like to hire one, we have a number for you to choose from.
Cake stands and other props, such as cake separators, are available to hire from £15 per item. In addition a minimum £100 deposit will be required which is refunded once the items have been returned undamaged and in good condition within 3 days of your event.
