JLee Bakery is not responsible for any damages to the item(s) caused by a guest, caterer, event staff, or any other person not affiliated with JLee Bakery.

 

Pick-up will occur on a day and time previously agreed upon by both JLee Bakery and the customer. The pickup time will be confirmed via email or instant message 24 to 48 hours before midday on the event date. Pickup is always held in the Parking Lot of Mystic Luxury Cinemas in The Olde Mystic Village. I always aim to park in the first row in the parking lot, look for JLee Bakery branding on the car. Please plan accordingly and have a spot prepared in car for item. (Note: in the hotter months it is important to keep item away from body heat and to turn AC up.)

 

Delivery is available for free within 10 mi. of Mystic, CT, and is available with a fee outside that range. The maximum delivery range is 25 miles outside of Mystic, CT, unfortunately, we cannot accommodate anything farther. The total amount of the fee is based upon the distance from the venue or residence and the legal address of JLee Bakery located in Mystic, CT. The delivery fee will be no less than $10.00 but will not exceed $75.00 in total. JLee Bakery will work with the customer and venue, as necessary, to coordinate a fair and agreed upon delivery time window.

 

Set up may include placing a cake on a stand, the addition of decor furnished by the customer (such as, but not limited to, toppers, fresh flowers, etc.), arranging cupcakes, etc. It is up to the discretion of JLee Bakery to determine that a cake stand or table/surface is unfit to bear the weight of an item. In such a case, the delivery staff person will place the item on a suitable surface as determined by the delivery staff person at which point the responsibility of displaying the item will be the responsibility of the customer. 

 

The items should never be displayed in direct sunlight or where sunlight may eventually move to. Humidity and heat will adversely affect the items. In the warmer months (average outdoor temperature of 72°F or greater) it is encouraged to keep the items in a refrigerator, air conditioned room, or a cooler area. Due to the effects of outdoor weather conditions, table on un-even ground, wind blowing undesirable atmospheric items (such as, but not limited to, dirt, leaves, branches, etc.), sunlight, insects, or items caused by these outdoor weather conditions or heat including, but not limited to, “sweating” (water condensation), running of colors, melting buttercream, sliding decorations, etc.
