We are not a franchise. We are totally dedicated, passionate people.

We do not believe in a master, as we strongly believe in team work. All our quality products and services are efforts from everyone within our company. We have a great team, with unique talents, working towards the same goal. They are designers to artists, from Computer Geeks to Carvers and from Logistics to Events set up members. The only thing common among us, is that we love what we do.

How do the customers plan their delivery times?
The best option is to inform us the guest arrival time. Accordingly we can plan our logistics specifically. For certain products we cannot come very early, such as for Ice Carvings, but for Sweet Buffets & Food Items, we prefer to be at the location, at least 1 hour prior to the ready by time.

How about if customers, have a bundle of products?
It is advisable to inform, the specific timings for each product, so that we can plan accordingly. For an example the Ice Carving or the Wedding Cake may be needed by the Reception time and the Sweet Table, can be ready by mid night. With similar cases, we do our delivery more than once, as per the needs of the product & the services and may be priced accordingly.

How do you transport?
We have our own temperature controlled fleet of delivery vehicles.
