Frequently asked questions

Q1- What kind of pots do you use?
A- Our extensive product testing has shown that ceramic pots are the best to arrange our carved fruit. The ceramic pots are the best as they look pretty, wont topple over like wicker baskets can and can be reused afterwards as gorgeous plant pots. It also means that for our corporate clients we can brand the pots with their logo.

Q2- Are your arrangements made from fresh fruits?
A- Yes. All of our arrangements are made from all fresh fruits which we buy daily as an order comes through.

Q3- Do you add any preservatives to your fruits?
A- No preservatives, additives or sweeteners are used in any of our creations.

Q4- Do your products contain nuts, soya or lecithin?
A- The arrangements are made with fruit only unless stated. However, all arrangements are made where nuts, soya lecithin & milk products are handled.

Q5- How long do the creations last?
A- We don't add any preservatives, artificial additives, colourings or sweeteners to our fruits. They are completely natural and therefore should be served immediately as with all fresh fruit products. They can last up to 2 days if refrigerated.

Q6- Do you accept orders for weddings, companies' receptions or big parties?
