The customer is responsible for storing products at the appropriate temperature, rotating fresh baked goods, and using them for optimal freshness. We are not responsible for any physical damage post-delivery. Pictures of fragile products, especially cakes, are taken upon delivery to ensure no damage occurred during transit.
