Refund Policy

Refund Policy

Last Updated: May 2026

Overview

At Dees Cakes, every cake, cupcake, and dessert is prepared to order and often customized specifically for each customer and celebration. Due to the perishable and personalized nature of our products, refunds are subject to the terms outlined below.

By placing an order with Dees Cakes, you acknowledge and agree to this Refund Policy.

Custom and Perishable Products

All cakes, cupcakes, desserts, and custom creations are made to order.

Because our products are perishable and frequently customized, completed orders are generally non-refundable once preparation, production, decorating, or customization has begun.

Cancellation requests must be submitted as soon as possible.

Cancellation eligibility depends on the status of the order at the time the request is received.
