Processing
When submitting your order please ensure you state the correct ‘Date Required By’ as we are very busy with weekly orders from bakeries and it is a great help to us to provide this information to know whether your order must be dispatched that day/next day or closer the date.
When processing orders they are organized by the required date entered.
Even at our busiest times we will still aim to dispatch all orders a few days before your required date. But please remember to allow a few days extra where possible for any delays when entering the date. (Ireland)
If you are an international customer we will ensure that your order is dispatched the same day or the working next day to allow for any delays.
We post all orders with anpost with low cost standard delivery within Ireland, which usually arrives next day at the very most 2 working days. Other shipping options are provided at checkout.
If the date required is the next day or the day after it will be dispatched the same day or the next working day if order is placed after 1PM.
Christmas/Public Holidays/Postal Strikes & Extreme Weather
During Christmas, New Year, postal strikes or extreme weather conditions, please be aware that the shipping times may be subject to change. Will we ensure items are posted as soon as possible during these times to allow for such delays rather than using the ‘Date Required By’.
During annual busy periods such as Christmas/New Year once the item is shipped either the same day or the next working day we will not accept responsibility for postal delays based on usual shipping times. It is up to you the customer to understand there may be delays and to allow extra time for shipping during these periods.
For Custom Designs
If we have discussed a specific design, please allow us up to 7 days to provide you with a ‘finished’ image for your approval. Although it usually is much shorter turnaround for custom designs times may vary due to demand. Once you have approved the design we will print and ship your topper.
***PLEASE NOTE***
When the images are printed out onto icing sheets, the color may not be exactly the same as the original. It tends to be a few shades different, but not usually that noticeable. This will be the same with any other edible printing services.
We use the best software and printers, our icing sheets are of the highest quality and our customers always comment on the high print quality compared to other vendors they have used in the past.
It also depends on the quality of the original image. All of the images that we provide are high resolution, and you can tell the difference. If it looks low quality, pixelated or blurred on the screen then imagine what this will look like on your cakes or treats please bare this in mind if you are shopping around.
If you are sending us a photo/image then the better quality (the higher resolution) you can provide, the clearer and crisp the image will be. We are not responsible for any poor quality photos/images that are sent to us, we will do our best to change the colours and brightness of the image to get the best print results.
We have exclusive software available to us to enlarge images, photo’s or artwork and we will use these where possible.
We refuse to use edible imaging software like the majority of other edible image providers, the quality is low res and editing capabilities are limited, we are graphic designers and use the best software specifically for graphic design to produce our designs.
It is always best to check the size and quality of the image provided on a desktop computer beforehand as mobile images may appear must larger and clearer than it it actually is.
If there is a issue with the image provided we will email to let you let you know the quality won’t be sufficient. We do not offer refunds based simply on the fact you don’t like it because you’ve chose to a small/poor quality picture.
