Websites for bakeries
Bakery websites that sell out the case and fill the order book

How the seasons change what you should feature
Your homepage should match what customers need right now. Here is how that shifts by climate.
Hot and dry (Phoenix, Riverside, Sacramento)
In the heat, lighter pastries, fruit tarts and cold drinks sell well. Mention how cakes travel in summer.
Hot and humid (Dallas, Houston, Miami)
Humidity is hard on frosting. Mention cake pickup tips and feature summer fruit bakes.
Cold and snowy (Chicago, Boston, Detroit)
Holiday pies, cookies and breads are your peak. Open holiday pre-orders on the homepage in early November.
Four seasons (New York, Washington, Philadelphia)
Every season has a bake: spring weddings, summer berries, fall pies, holiday cookies. Rotate your homepage.
Mild and damp (San Francisco, Seattle, Portland)
Gray mornings and fresh bread go together. Feature breads and warm pastries.
Mild and dry (Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose)
Year-round events and weddings keep custom orders steady. Make the order request your main button.
High and dry (Denver, Salt Lake City, Boise)
High-altitude baking is its own craft. Feature breads and holiday pre-orders.

Bakeries: common questions
Can customers request custom cakes on my site?
Yes. The form asks for the date, servings and design ideas and emails them to you.
Should I list my menu?
List your regular favorites and note that the case changes daily. Update specials any time.
How do I show order lead times?
Add a line like "Custom cakes need 5 days notice" near the order button.
Can I add allergen information?
Yes, but only claims you can guarantee. We never add allergen claims for you.
Can I take catering orders?
Yes. Add catering as a service and the request form captures headcount and date.
