Terms & Conditions

Hi! Welcome to Sweet Dreams are Baked of This! Just a few Terms & Conditions if you’ve never ordered from me before.

1. A minimum of 3-4 WEEKS notice for orders is required as I still have a full-time job, and I do many events.
          a. You CAN request something for sooner, but it will depend on my work schedule if I can accept your order.
                     i.  Orders outside my availability window are subject to fee.
          b. Certain times of the year, IE holidays & Farmers Market Season (June - October), will require more notice. The more notice you can give, the better.

4. Prices are not negotiable. I price based on several factors and if you agree to an order, you agree to those prices.

5. I can bake Gluten Free and/or Vegan, for certain items. If you have ANY restrictions or allergies, please let me know BEFORE I accept your order.
          a. Certain ingredients cost more than others and will affect the price of your order.
 
6. I accept payments through Square, with a minimum $25 deposit required within 24 hours of accepting your order.  Larger orders may require larger deposits.
          a. You do not have to have a Square account. I will send you an invoice, and you can pay via Square or via your Credit or Debit card.

                    i. Deposits are used to hold the date you have selected for your order.
          c. Theme Boxes require no deposit.  They require payment in FULL by the listed date.  Once paid, Theme Boxes are not refundable.  If you cancel, you will not receive your money back.  The dates listed are so that I can order items that go in the boxes.
                    i. If you sign up for a Theme Box, and then fail to pay upon the specified date (invoice cancelled), you will be required to pay within 48 hours of signing up for another Theme Box.  That cost will be non-refundable.

          a.  If final payment is not received, and your order is voided, deposit is NOT REFUNDABLE.  
          b. If you order and do not pay on time on TWO separate occasions, you will be unable to order from me in the future.

                    i. $15 is flat rate for most locations in Syracuse and Oswego
                    ii. For deliveries to Auburn or Oneida, etc rates start at $20, and go up from there.
 
10. I can ship, within New York ONLY. Most items are eligible for shipping (some, due to fragility, will not be shippable). You will be required to pay for shipping, regardless if it exceeds the cost of your order or not.
          a. The cost of shipping – I use USPS or UPS – is determined by the weight/size of your order, where in New York it’s going and how fast you want it.
          b. Due to ending up a mess, I typically ship cupcakes unfrosted with the frosting in a sealed piping bag.

         a. If you want to order a Non-Baked Goods version of any of the Theme Boxes I offer, I've now added those options onto the forms.
 
13. There is a minimum of $30 to place an order.  Unless otherwise noted.
          a. This is to ensure the delivery or shipping fee is not more than the cost of your order.

15.  Effective May 29, 2023 all card transactions (Invoices Only) will be subject to a card processing fee.  
         a. For every $5.00 you spend a $0.25 card fee will be added to your transaction.
                     i.e.  $1.00 - $5.00 = $0.25 fee
                            $5.00 - $10.00 = $0.50 fee
                            $10.00 - $15.00 = $0.75 fee
                                    and so on and so on
