Standard stand hire is £15, although some more complex stands may cost a little more. Knife, plinth and separator hire is also available.

Security deposits are also required, which will be returned in full when the item/s are returned undamaged within 3 weeks of your event.

 

The standard hire fee does NOT include collection of the items hired.

Collection can be arranged but would incur up front additional charges for time and costs. 
 

Many of the stands available are handmade, bespoke or vintage so are irreplaceable.

The value of the security deposit is dependant on the items' estimated replacement value or the estimated value of a comparable item. 

​

The hire cost and deposit required are listed below next to the photographs of the items.

​

Standard knife hire is £5 plus a £20 security deposit, with the terms as per stand hire.

​

Both stand and knife hire are entirely optional.

The use of separators are dependant on your cake design.

​

If you want a specific item, please let Kasserina know asap so it can be booked for you.

 

Minimum order values may apply, because of the added admin involved.

​

The booking system is based on a lending library model.

The number of items available is limited, and availability is

dependant on clients returning items, clean on time and unbroken.

​

Please, please ensure you return your hired items on time and undamaged.

​

If you are returning via courier or by post, please ensure you warp and insulate items well and place in a box strong enough to protect them if other things are piled on top... and don't forget to put a note in the box to say it's from you.

​

If you are relying upon another person to return the items, please make sure they understand the terms of the hire.

​

Please do NOT put any items in dishwasher

or near anything that could scratch them.

Please store them safely away from damp or unsanitary conditions, thanks.

​

While I can strive to create some buffers and in some cases may be able to cross hire or buy replacements, many stands cannot be duplicated.  In the case that your preferred item is not available I will try to provide a suitable alternative, but can offer no guarantees that it will be the same.

​

Important note:

Pedestal stands are inherently top heavy once they have a cake on them.  

The taller the stand, the less stable they will be if they experience sideways

movement or if pressure is put on one side.  

Extra care should be taken if cutting the cake on the stand

to make sure it cannot topple over.  If in doubt, please ask someone to

firmly hold the stand and cake board steady for you while you cut the cake.

​

Please return your stand on time.

Late returns may incur additional fees, which will be taken from the security deposit.

If the stand is not returned in time, and we have to buy a replacement, please do not expect change as the cost of the stand, P&P and the extra time involved may outstrip the value of the security deposit.
