When you order custom cakes, you are basically instructing your baker to note small details that you want to be incorporated into the cake. From specific decorative items to the flavor of the cake – you want everything as per your wish. But sometimes the baker’s botch up and you end up getting something like a raspberry sponge cake instead of a vanilla cake.

If this happens to you, we suggest some ways to deal with the problem.

• Check the Receipt When Accepting Delivery –

• We don’t often check receipts when accepting deliveries. This is a practice that must change. When accepting your cake delivery, make it a point to check that the right cake order is printed on the receipt. Many times, the person who accepted your order wrote down the instructions wrong which leads to complete failure in communication throughout the baking and delivery process. But if you catch the mistake while accepting the delivery, you can immediately notify the bakery, and if time permits, the bakers may go the extra mile to correct the mistake.

• Check the Look and Decoration on The Cake to Verify – Even if you give the receipt the green signal, don’t be satisfied just yet. Open the cake box and check whether the cake looks fine. Do this while the delivery person is still at your doorstep. If you are personally taking the parcel from the bakery, open the box then and there to check the contents. If you find the cake to be different simply by looking at it, raise the issue with the bakery immediately. Find an amicable solution that is acceptable to both parties.

• Finding The Fault after The Cake is Cut –

Now, this is a real tricky situation. What do you do when its too late? You have cut the cake only to realise this isn’t the one you wanted! Moreover, this has happened in front of your guests who witness your disappointment. This is what we suggest – don’t lose out in front of your guests. Be calm and try to analyse the situation. For the moment, do the best you can and later contact your baker to know what went wrong and how you can be compensated.

To err is human. It is important to acknowledge that honest mistakes can be made by anyone – even your baker who puts in hours to bake and assemble your dream cake. Though we understand that the disappointment can be huge, try to hear your baker’s point of view too. Instead of venting out on social media, wait for the response. If their response is belayed or unsatisfactory, then take other necessary actions.
