Terms and Conditions

We'll keep these as short as we can, because there is a whole world of cake tutorials to get started with!

Above all  - Safety First!
In our tutorials we only use products that are food safe and non-toxic.

• Only use edible sugar glue that is completely safe for human consumption.
• Glitters used directly on cakes must be a food registered product, don't get misled by non-toxic glitter. Non-toxic glitters are sometimes used on cake decorations that will be removed from the cake and not for consumption. Non-toxic glitters must not be sprinkled directly onto the cake.
• Dowels, cake pops, boards and other items used to support and display the cake must be food safe. Sugar models with supports must be removed from cakes prior to consumption (don't use cocktail sticks). Remove supports prior to serving any cake.

Occasionally knifes, or specialist cake decorating equipment and tools are used. Minors following tutorials must have the consent of their parent or guardian and be supervised at all times. Cake Decorating TV Ltd will not be held liable for any accident that may arise from following our tutorials - either video or downloaded material.
 

Computer Internet Requirements
For your enjoyment we suggest a minimum internet speed of 2Mbits and recommend the following web browsers: Microsoft Edge, Safari, Chrome.
Other browsers may work fine, however we would suggest not using Firefox due to a few known glitches. The quality of the videos are determined by your internet connection and device you are using. You may notice after the first 10 seconds the quality adjusts automatically  - with a good connection you will receive full HD video!
 

Your Subscription / Membership
Your subscription starts on completion of your direct debit or Paypal set-up and will continue until cancelled. Your details are private to you and can only be used on one device at any one time (tablet, computer or smart-phone). We don't mind members of your family using your subscription as long as you all reside at the same address. However you may not transfer such permission to a third party or allow other non-family members to use your subscription.

Gift Subscriptions
Gift subscriptions are a lovely way to treat a friend or relative. You have the option to purchase a 6 or 12 month subscription. You can email the lucky recipient or print out the gift voucher, place in a card or present. We do not send out vouchers in the post.
