Top 10 Tips for Home Bakers to Start Selling Cakes Online

Introduction


Ready to turn your baking passion into profit? With platforms like mybaker.app, Facebook Marketplace, and Instagram, home bakers can reach local customers craving custom cakes and desserts. Here are 10 tips to help you sell cakes online and grow your baking business.
 

1. Create a Stellar Profile on mybaker.app


Your mybaker.app profile is your digital bakery. Upload vibrant photos, write a bio highlighting your specialties (e.g., wedding cakes or vegan cookies), and list your services. A polished profile attracts more orders.
 

2. Master Food Photography for Instagram


Great visuals sell cakes. Use a smartphone with natural lighting to capture your creations. Post these on Instagram with hashtags like #HomeBaking or #mybakerapp, and link to your mybaker.app profile for bookings.
 

3. List Your Baked Goods on Facebook Marketplace


Reach local customers by listing your cakes on Facebook Marketplace. Include clear descriptions, prices, and photos, and direct buyers to your mybaker.app profile for custom orders or inquiries.
 

4. Set Competitive Prices


Calculate costs (ingredients, packaging, time) and check local rates on Kijiji or Facebook Marketplace. A custom cake might range from $50–$5000. Display prices on your mybaker.app profile for transparency.
 

5. Get Licensed and Insured


Check local regulations for home baking permits. Mention your compliance on your mybaker.app profile and Facebook Page to build trust. Liability insurance protects you from potential issues.
 

6. Promote with Facebook Ads


Run targeted Facebook Ads to reach local event planners. Highlight your custom desserts and link to your mybaker.app profile. Start with a small budget ($10–$20/week) to test what works.
 

7. Optimize for Local SEO


Add your city to your mybaker.app profile (e.g., “Toronto Home Baker”) and Kijiji listings. This helps customers searching “bakers near me” find you. Use location-specific keywords in your Facebook Page bio too.
 

8. Offer a Clear Menu


List flavors, sizes, and dietary options (e.g., gluten-free) on mybaker.app and your Facebook Page. A detailed menu helps customers on Kijiji or Facebook Marketplace make quick decisions.
 

9. Engage on Social Media


Share behind-the-scenes baking videos on Instagram and Facebook Pages. Post customer reviews and seasonal specials, linking to mybaker.app for bookings. Engage with comments to build a loyal following.
 

10. Leverage Multiple Platforms


Use mybaker.app as your primary hub to showcase your portfolio and manage orders. Complement it with Facebook Marketplace and Kijiji for local visibility, and Instagram for stunning visuals to drive traffic.
