The date of your final payment is the final date for any changes of size, style, or flavors of the
cake. Any changes requested after this date cannot be guaranteed and may be subject to
additional charges.
 
Cancellation of your event will result in a partial to no refund.
 • Prior to 1 month: 50% retainer will be collected by A Sweet Confession from your total payments, and the remainder will be refunded.
 • Less than 1 month: No refund will be given.
We will do everything in our power to accommodate your new date in cases of postponement.
