Allergen Notice: Our goods are prepared in a kitchen that works with allergens such as nuts, gluten, dairy, and eggs. We cannot guarantee the complete absence of allergens in our products. Ordering from us is entirely at your own risk.
Handling Instructions: Once your cake has been collected or delivered, it is advisable to drive it in an air-conditioned vehicle, on the flattest surface, with a non-slip mat under the cake box. Upon delivery, please place the cake into the fridge until the recommended time prior to serving. We cannot be held responsible for any damage incurred once the cake has left our premises.
Refund Exceptions: In the case of unforeseen circumstances such as natural disasters or national restrictions beyond our control, Francines will fully refund the client the booking deposit and/or the full invoice amount after assessing accordingly.
