Last updated: December 29, 2025

At Mithun Bakes and Caters, we understand that plans can change. Please review our cancellation policy carefully before placing your order.

Standard Orders (Cakes, Pastries, Baked Goods)

Before Production Begins:

  • Cancellations made 24-48 hours before the scheduled pickup/delivery time are eligible for a full refund
  • Please contact us as soon as possible if you need to cancel
  • Refunds will be processed within 5-7 business days

After Production Begins:

  • Once we have started preparing your order, cancellations are not accepted
  • This is because ingredients have been used and time has been invested in creating your custom items
  • We may consider rescheduling delivery/pickup on a case-by-case basis

Custom Cake Orders

Advance Notice Required:

  • Cancellations must be made at least 48-72 hours before the scheduled delivery/pickup time
  • Custom cakes require significant preparation time and specialized ingredients
  • Once design work and production have begun, cancellations are not accepted

Design Consultation:

  • After the design consultation, if you decide to cancel before production begins, a consultation fee may apply
  • We recommend confirming all details before we begin work on your custom cake

Catering Services

  • Cancellations made more than 7 days before the event date may receive a partial refund (minus the non-refundable deposit)
  • The deposit covers planning, consultation, and reservation of your event date

Within 7 Days of Event:

  • Cancellations made within 7 days of the event are non-refundable
  • At this stage, we have already purchased ingredients and allocated resources for your event

Deposits:

  • All deposits paid for catering services are non-refundable once the event date is confirmed
  • Deposits secure your booking and cover initial planning costs

Rescheduling
