FAQ

How should I store my cake or desserts?

Cakes and all items made with buttercream are best stored in their box in refrigeration until 1-2 hours prior to slicing. If fridge space is limited, you can keep your cake in a cool air conditioned room. Desserts are best stored in a closed box in a cool room. For longer shelf life they can be kept refrigerated or even frozen.

QUALITY

At Riveras We pride ourselves on the quality of our products and services. All our ingredients are of the highest quality. All cakes are made in premises in which nuts are used, every effort is taken to ensure ingredients remain separated, but cakes may contain traces of nuts. It is important to remember that cakes are perishable and delicate products. Our aim is to provide only the freshest and highest quality cakes to our customers.

STORAGE

We work primarily with buttercream, thus all cakes should be stored in refrigeration or air conditioned rooms cooler than 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Please keep all cakes and sugar decor out of direct sunlight. Failure to store the cake correctly may result in colors bleeding, frosting bubbles, cracks or melting.

DAMAGE

If for some reason the cake has been damaged after delivery or pickup, Rivera's Takes no responsibility. However, if you request an emergency call out, we will endeavor to restore the cake to its original presentation for an agreed call-out fee.

NON-CONSUMPTION

Where items are provided on cakes (hand molded sugar items, metallic leafing, non-edible florals, toys), they are strictly provided as decorations on cakes, and it is advised that these are not consumed. Some figurines or decorations could contain wire or toothpicks which are dangerous if consumed.

VARIATIONS FROM PICTURED ITEMS

We pride ourselves on our unique and exclusive decor style. Please understand if a picture/image is supplied as inspiration, it may be necessary to change a color or vary a product from the picture, as we do not duplicate the work of other artists.

REFUNDS

As each cake is unique, so too, are your special requirements and concerns surrounding your order. If there is an issue with your order, please note that you must refrigerate or freeze the cake immediately and return it to us on the next business day, if we are to consider any refunds at all.
