FAQs

Below you will find a list of our frequently asked questions. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us on hi@tastopia.co.uk and a member of our team will get in touch with you shortly.

VEGAN?

Our entire range is 100% vegan. Please be assured that we also are aware that some sprinkles and cake decorations are not vegan friendly, and we do use any of those.


CROSS-CONTAMINATION

Please note that all our products are baked fresh onsite in our kitchens, which handle ingredients used to make all our products. While we do have processes in place to minimise the risk of cross-contamination, we have small kitchens and do not have segregated production lines, so cross-contamination of ingredients is possible.

Our kitchen handles the allergens of nuts, peanuts, gluten (wheat), sesame and soya.

If you have a serious allergy to any of these allergens, or one which could cause you to have a major allergic reaction, sadly the only way for you to be 100% safe is not to consume any of our products.


INFORMATION FOR COLEIACS

Our gluten free range is made with non gluten containing ingredients, however, our kitchens handle ingredients containing gluten.

How long do your cakes last?

MY ORDER IS LATE/ WHERE IS MY ORDER?

We work hard to dispatch our cakes on time to arrive on the selected delivery date.

Unfortunately in some cases, such as where there are higher than average volumes of deliveries, transit vehicle breakdowns or other circumstances beyond our control, it can sometimes take longer for orders to be delivered.

If your order has not been delivered on the day or within the parameters of the service you have chosen, please get in touch with us, and we will do our best to resolve the issue in accordance with our delivery policy.

With deliveries we highly recommend allowing 2 days for delivery just in case of any delays with the courier and we have a pop up message during the ordering process to advise customers of this.
