LAWFUL BASIS

Legitimate Interest means the interest of our business in conducting and managing our business and marketing activity to enable us to give you the best service/product and the best and most secure experience. We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your personal data for our legitimate interests. We do not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law). You can obtain further information about how we assess our legitimate interests against any potential impact on you in respect of specific activities by contacting us.

Performance of Contract means processing your data where it is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract.

Comply with a legal or regulatory obligation means processing your personal data where it is necessary for compliance with a legal or regulatory obligation that we are subject to.

THIRD PARTIES

External Third Parties

  • Service providers acting as processors based within the European Economic Area (EEA) who provide IT and system administration, marketing analysis and telecoms services.
  • Professional advisers acting as processors or joint controllers including lawyers, bankers, auditors and insurers based European Economic Area (EEA) who provide consultancy, banking, legal, insurance and accounting services.
  • HM Revenue & Customs, regulators and other authorities acting as processors or joint controllers based in the United Kingdom who require reporting of processing activities in certain circumstances.

YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

You have the right to:

Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

Nikkie is a wonderful lady who goes above and beyond to ensure everyones ideas become reality. The cake was amazing and better then we could have imagined. From meeting Nikkie, consultation of trying lots of cake and buttercream, to our final meeting she became a good friend. The cake tasted beautiful and everyone commented on how nice it was. Her designs and skills are out of this world. Nikkie is very helpful, professional and an all round nice person.

Cindy Templeton

Another big thumbs up from us on cupcakes. Looked and tasted great! Thank you

Marie

Great customer service, i gave her 2days notice so i wasn’t expecting much, clutching at straws a little to be honest BUT she made me tematoa from moana 3d cake for my little girls and it was fantastic. She was very friendly and helpful and even offered to drop us the cake off. Pricewise it wasn’t cheap but after shopping around her prices are cheap for what you get so it all depends how much you want to spend, 100% worth the money if you want something a little special. Would reccomend to anyone, and have i heard others having the same experience. 5 stars, thanks a lot! Oh yeah forgot to add, it was probably the best tasting birthday cake ive ever had. We went for the vanilla jam version for the traditional birthday cake flavour but she had a lot of variety.

Kile Blade

Customer Service

Nikkie was diagnosed with high-level dyslexia six years ago. After always finding the simple tasks like reading and writing difficult, Nikkie still persevered with her career in the management sector, and despite dyslexia, consistently achieved her goals. Nikkie took to baking as an outlet in 2015, attending a 1-day class.

Nikkie found a new loved and embraced her newfound skillset. From that day, Nikkie booked more classes, even traveling the country to work with some of the best cake designers in the country. The passion grew, and so did the hobby.

In 2017 Nikkie left Her full-time job working at Royal Mail in HR and set up her business in Unit R at Staniforth works. Within six months, the company became so busy that Nikkie expanded and took the adjacent unit, Unit P., along with the extra space came our team members.
