Step by step
How to sell cakes online in 6 steps.
Offer a short list of set cakes
Pick four to six cakes you can make any week, with sizes and flavors as options. A parent who can order a chocolate cake for Saturday in two minutes won’t wait a day for a quote.
Put tiered and themed cakes on request
Wedding, tiered and character cakes change with every order. Hide the price, ask for the date, the number of guests and the theme, and invite a photo of their idea by email. Show past cakes so people see your range.
Say how much notice you need
Most cake makers need a few days for a set cake and weeks for a wedding. Put both on the home page and the request form, and set a cake’s stock to zero when your weekend is full.
Describe your delivery area plainly
Frosted cakes rarely survive the mail, so most cake makers deliver locally. Name the towns or distance you cover on a delivery page and set a delivery rate. Rates can’t be limited to a ZIP code or postcode, so the page has to make the area clear.
Photograph a slice too
A side view of the whole cake and one photo of a cut slice show height, layers and filling. Real cakes you’ve made sell better than stock photos of someone else’s.
Write a serving guide
List how many people each size serves, in plain portions, and how to store the cake until the party. Parents ordering for a birthday look for that number first.

Built in
A shop made for cakes, not a blank template.
Sizes and flavors with their own prices
A six-inch and a ten-inch cake can be options of one product with different prices and stock, so you can cap how many large cakes you take each week.
Custom cake requests
Every request, with the date, guests, theme and flavors, lands in your Inbox and in your email. You reply with a quote, and nothing is charged through the request form.
Delivery rates and estimates
Set a local delivery rate with a delivery estimate, and a separate postage rate for the cakes that travel, like loaf cakes and tasting boxes.
Allergen and dietary notes
Ask the assistant to add an allergens line and a note about gluten-free or vegan options to every cake at once, then check each change and apply it.
Ready-made themes
Themes for selling cakes, ready to make your own.
Crumb
Made for Bakeries, Cafés, Cake makers
Warm and hand-made, with room for daily bakes and cakes to order.
Before you start
Good to know
Cream and fresh fruit change the rules
Cakes with cream, custard, cream cheese or fresh fruit fillings need refrigeration, and most US cottage food laws exclude them, so you may need a licensed kitchen. In the UK and EU every cake business registers with the local authority. Check your local rules.
Toppers and decorations
Wires, dowels, plastic toppers and fresh flowers must be food-safe where they touch the cake, and some flowers are toxic. Tell customers in writing what to remove before serving.
Plan for wedding season
Weddings cluster from late spring to early fall, and graduation and holiday cakes come in waves. Decide how many large cakes you can make each weekend and hold to it.
General information to help you get started, not legal advice. Rules differ by country, state and product, so check the ones that apply to you.

Questions
Good to know
Can I sell cakes online without a bakery?
In many US states you can sell some cakes from home under cottage food laws, usually without cream or fresh fruit fillings. In the UK and EU you register your home kitchen as a food business. Check with your state or council first.
Can I ship cakes by mail?
Most frosted and filled cakes don’t travel well by post. Loaf cakes, pound cakes, cake jars and tasting boxes can, if sealed and packed tightly. Keep celebration cakes for local delivery.
How do customers order a custom cake on my website?
They open your custom cakes page, fill in the date, number of guests and theme, and send it. The request lands in your Cornerrr Inbox and your email, and you reply with a quote.
Can I stop taking cake orders for a busy weekend?
Yes. Set the stock of your set cakes to zero and checkout stops for them. Ask the assistant to add a line to the home page saying when orders open again.
Do I need any technical skills?
No. You describe your business in your own words and Cornerrr builds the website. Afterwards you change things by clicking, or by asking the assistant in plain words.
How much does it cost?
Building and previewing your website is free, with no card needed. To go live and take payments, choose a plan from $19 a month. Every paid plan starts with a 14-day free trial; a card is needed to start it.
