Set up may include placing a cake on a stand, the addition of decor furnished by the customer (such as, but not limited to, toppers, fresh flowers, etc.), arranging cupcakes, etc. It is up to the discretion of JLee Bakery to determine that a cake stand or table/surface is unfit to bear the weight of an item. In such a case, the delivery staff person will place the item on a suitable surface as determined by the delivery staff person at which point the responsibility of displaying the item will be the responsibility of the customer.
