If you are looking for exact color matching for your cake or cupcakes, we ask that you provide a fabric swatch, strand of ribbon, etc. in the color shade that you are requesting for your order to assure that we are able to match your event color as much as possible. We will do our best to match the color within 3 shades (darker or lighter). With edible products and food grade dyes, exact color matches are sometimes difficult to achieve. Please be aware that dark colors may sometimes taste a little bitter, and may stain teeth, clothing, etc.

Once a delivery time is agreed upon, The Sweet Stop of RVA will honor that specific time with a 15 minute window before and after the agreed upon time. Upon delivery, if you are not available or the venue is not ready for set-up per the order contract agreed upon time, The Sweet Stop Of RVA reserves the right to leave your cake/cupcakes at the responsibility of the venue (we will have them sign a waiver) or we will take the product with us and you will be responsible for arranging pick-up at our availability.

Once a pick-up time is agreed upon, if you are unable to pick-up your order at that time (within a 15-20 minute window from agreed upon time), you will be assessed a $25 late fee that will be due before releasing your order. If The Sweet Stop has other scheduled commitments that conflict with your original pick-up time and no prior arrangements were made at least 24 hours prior to your pick-up time, you will have to confirm a new pick-up time based on The Sweet Stop’s availability. If an emergency delivery is requested the day of your event because you are unable to pick up your order at the previously agreed upon time, your items may not be delivered on time for your event due to the last-minute request. The same day emergency delivery fee is $75 (within a 15 mile radius) and will be due and expected at the time of delivery or your order will not be released. We do NOT offer any same day emergency deliveries for any orders outside of the 15 mile radius.
