Our couriers may sometimes experience unexpected delays, so please choose a delivery date at least 3 working days before your event.
When the cake is delivered, a person must be present to sign and refrigerate it. Our couriers cannot provide any storage advice or leave the cake unattended unless the customer arranges it with them directly.

Storage
Your cheese will need to be kept below 8 degrees until the day of your wedding.
When the event day arrives, unwrap your cheese and assemble it. If you leave the cheeses somewhere cool for 4-5 hours, they will be fine. To ensure all larger cheeses are at room temperature, please allow them to come out of the fridge at least 2 hours before serving.
The Cheese Wedding Cake Shop has industrial cold storage units and offers cool storage delivery services. Remember the size of storage you will need if your cheese is delivered a few days in advance. Refrigerated leftover cheese can be wrapped, stored, and eaten a few days later. Any leftovers can also be frozen if needed.

The availability of all products listed on the website is subject to change. Occasionally, some of our cheeses may not be available since they come directly from small producers. If this is the case, we can provide a suitable alternative.
A substitute will be something we consider equally good or better. We will always get in touch to discuss substitutions if necessary. In some cases, it may simply mean a brief delay in delivery.
