Refund & Returns Policy

Plans change and things happen. Here’s how cancellations, date changes, problems with your order and refunds work at Sestra’s.

Last updated: October 11, 2026 · Effective: October 11, 2026

Refunds at a glance

The short version. The full details are below.

Haven't paid yet? Cancel for free

No deposit means nothing to refund. Just tell us as early as you can.

Move your date 4 days ahead

Reschedule a cake order at least 4 days before your event.

No refunds within 24 hours

Once we’re within 24 hours of your event, your cake is already being made.

Damaged on our delivery? Full refund

Send us photos on Messenger as soon as you receive it.

1. How this policy works

Every cake and dessert we make is baked to order for your date, and food can’t be resold. That’s why we don’t accept returns of cakes or desserts once you’ve received them. Instead, this policy explains what happens if you need to cancel or move your order, or if something goes wrong on our side.

It applies to orders from Sestra’s Cakes & Pastries Shop, Purok Nangka, Isagani, Maasin City, Southern Leyte, placed through Messenger, by phone or at our shop. It works together with our Terms & Conditions.

2. Cancelling a cake order

Tell us on Messenger or call 0956 597 6185 as soon as you know. What you get back depends on when you cancel:

When you cancelWhat happens
Before you’ve paidFREE
There’s no deposit, so there’s nothing to refund.
After paying, more than 24 hours before your eventPARTIAL REFUND
We refund what you paid minus the cost of ingredients and materials we’ve already bought or prepared for your order. We’ll tell you the exact amount before refunding.
Within 24 hours of your eventNO REFUND
By then your cake is already being made.

The 24 hours count back from the pickup or delivery time we agreed on.

3. Moving your date

  • You can move a cake order to a new date if you tell us at least 4 days before your event.
  • The new date depends on our availability. If your new date is full, we’ll tell you right away.
  • Changing the design, size or flavor along with the date may change the price.
  • Less than 4 days before your event, we can’t move the order. The cancellation rules in section 2 apply instead.

4. Dessert buffet bookings

Dessert buffets are booked at least a week ahead and take more preparation, so the rules are stricter:

WhenWhat happens
Before you’ve paidFREE
Cancel for free.
Moving your datePossible if you tell us at least 7 days before your event, depending on availability.
Cancelling after paying, more than 72 hours before your eventPARTIAL REFUND
What you paid minus the cost of ingredients, materials and anything already prepared for your table.
Within 72 hours of your eventNO REFUND

5. If something’s wrong with your order

Report it right away. Send us clear photos of the cake on Messenger as soon as possible after you receive it, before it’s cut or served. Photos taken after cutting or serving make it hard for us to see what went wrong.
  • Delivered by our team and arrived damaged: you get a full refund.
  • Picking up at our shop: please check your order before you leave. If anything is wrong, tell us there and we’ll fix it on the spot. Once a cake leaves our shop with you, damage during transport isn’t covered.
  • Our mistake (wrong flavor, size, name or design from what we confirmed in Messenger): tell us right away and we’ll remake it or refund you, whichever you prefer.

What isn’t covered

  • Small differences in color, shade or detail from your reference photo. Every cake is handmade (see our Terms & Conditions).
  • Damage after handover from transport, heat, sunlight or storage.
  • Details made exactly as you sent them, such as a name spelled the way it was in your message.
  • Personal taste preferences.

6. Returning baking supplies

You can return baking supplies (cake boxes, boards, whipping cream, coloring and other supplies) on the same day you bought them:

  • Bring them back to our shop before closing time (11:00 PM) on the day of purchase.
  • Items should be unopened, unused and in their original packaging. No receipt needed, as long as you bought them from us that day.
  • Chilled items such as whipping cream can’t be returned once they’ve left the shop, since we can’t be sure they were kept cold.

7. How refunds are paid

  • Refunds are sent by bank transfer within 24 hours after we approve them.
  • We’ll ask for the account name and account number to send it to. We use these only to send your refund. See our Privacy Policy.
  • We’ll message you once the transfer is sent. Depending on your bank, it may take another day or two to show in your account.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when our services or prices change. The version on this page when you confirm your order is the one that applies to it. The “Last updated” date at the top shows when it last changed.
