Terms and Conditions | FAQ

Care & Handling 
Due to the delicate nature of our products, Modern Pastry is not liable for any damages caused once the product(s) has left our possession. When you or your representative elects to pick up (or accept delivery) and set up the cake, pastries, etc., you assume all liability and responsibility for the condition of the product(s). If picked up from the bakery, this applies once the product(s) leave the premise. If the product(s) are being delivered, you are only liable and responsible when it leaves the driver’s possession.

We take every measure to supply you with a stable product but cannot guarantee structural integrity during transport.

Please always handle your cake with great care: transport and display on a flat, well supported surface, and keep cool as long as possible.
