How it works

Examples of Cake Makers Insurance in action

An expensive heatwave

Following unusual heatwave-type weather, a cake maker discovers that a month’s worth of ingredients stored within the refrigerator have all gone off far before their sell-by date due to the unit failing due to overheating, leaving her out of pocket for several thousand pounds worth of product. However, because she has taken out contents and stock cover for her cake making business, her insurance will cover the cost for replacing the spoiled ingredients, leaving the cake maker with their usual profit and her customers happy.
