Everything you need to run your cake maker business

Packed with powerful tools to grow your revenue, streamline your bookings, and boost client retention.

Consultation & tasting slot booking

Offer set times for wedding consultations, tasting boxes, and design calls. Customers pick a slot that suits them, and you control how many you take in a week so you’re not doing back-to-back meetings during peak season.

Deposit to secure the date

Take a booking deposit the moment a customer confirms. No more “I’ll pay later” while you hold the weekend. The system makes it clear what secures the date and what happens if they don’t pay in time.

Collection & delivery time windows with buffers

Set collection slots, delivery windows, and setup allowances for tiered cakes. Add buffer time for boxing, loading, traffic and venue access, so you’re not rushing piping because someone turned up early.

Order details that don’t get lost

Capture the important bits upfront: servings, flavours per tier, colour palette, reference photos, allergen notes, venue address, and contact names. Everything lives with the booking so you’re not scrolling through weeks of messages.

Automatic reminders for balances & final details

Send timed reminders for final payment, final headcount, and last-call changes (like name spelling on toppers). It cuts the awkward chasing and reduces last-minute surprises that mess with your shopping list and schedule.

Team-friendly handovers for busy kitchens

If you’ve got a helper, decorator, or delivery driver, everyone can see what’s due today, what’s collected, and what’s going out. No more shouting across the kitchen asking which cake is for which customer.

The challenges every cake maker faces

Holding dates without a deposit (and getting burned)

People often “pencil in” a wedding date then disappear, leaving you turning away other orders. Without a clear deposit rule and automated reminders, you end up with empty weekends, awkward chasing, or a last-minute cancellation that ruins your production plan.

Production time doesn’t fit a normal calendar

A cake isn’t a one-hour job. Baking, levelling, filling, crumb-coating, chilling, stacking, transport and venue setup all need protected blocks. If you only book a single “appointment”, your diary looks free when it absolutely isn’t.

Enquiries scattered across DMs, email and phone

Most cake orders start on Instagram or Facebook, then move to WhatsApp, then an email with inspiration photos. Details get lost: servings, colours, dietary requirements, topper notes, venue contacts. One missed message can mean a wrong finish or a missed deadline.

Collection and delivery windows cause bottlenecks

You can make the cake perfectly and still have a nightmare at handover. Two collections arriving at once, a delivery during school run, or a venue insisting on a narrow setup slot all create stress. You need time windows, buffers and clear instructions.

Built for real cake maker workflows

A typical day in a cake business starts with checking what’s due: today’s cupcakes for a corporate order, a birthday cake collection at 4pm, and a wedding cake delivery on Saturday. You’re pricing up a new enquiry while ingredients are weighing out, and you’re trying to answer DMs in between batches. Without a proper system, the day gets messy fast. Someone asks if their date is available and you...

FAQ

Everything you need to know about our cake maker booking system.

Try it free
How do you handle urgent, last-minute cake requests without wrecking your diary?

You can offer limited “last-minute” slots with strict lead times, so people can only book what you can realistically produce. Add buffers around collections and deliveries so a rush order doesn’t clash with a wedding cake build. If you’re fully booked, the system simply won’t show availability, which saves awkward back-and-forth.

What job types can customers book—wedding cakes, birthday cakes, cupcakes and tasting boxes?

Yes. You can set up separate services for wedding consultations, tasting box orders, birthday/celebration cakes, cupcakes and treat boxes. Each service can ask different questions (servings, flavours, colour scheme, allergens) so you don’t have to chase basics later. You can also set different lead times and pricing rules per job type.

When should I take payment—deposit upfront or full payment at booking?

Most cake makers take a deposit to secure the date, then the balance closer to collection/delivery. You can choose deposit-only, full payment, or manual approval for higher-value wedding cakes. Automated reminders help you collect the final balance before you start the final assembly, not after the cake has left the kitchen.

How does it cope with wedding season and Christmas rush?

You can cap how many consultations or orders you accept per week during peak periods, and block out days you need for big builds. For December, you can create specific products like cupcake boxes and treat boxes with controlled collection slots. That stops the “everyone wants Friday at 5pm” pile-up.

Can I manage multiple cakes per day and still avoid double-booking collections?

Yes—because you can separate production planning from handover slots. You can allow multiple orders per day but limit collection windows so you’re not interrupted constantly while decorating. For delivery days, you can reserve time blocks and add travel/setup buffers so you don’t overpromise.

How does it help convert quotes into confirmed bookings?

After an enquiry or consultation, you can send a clear next step: approve the quote and pay the deposit to secure the date. Customers are less likely to drift off when it’s obvious how to confirm. It also reduces “are you still available?” messages because the system shows real availability.

What customer communication does it cover—dietary notes, design changes and venue details?

You can collect key details at booking and keep them attached to the order: allergens, flavour choices, topper wording, colour references, and venue contacts. Confirmations and reminders reduce repeated questions and missed information. If a customer changes something, you’ve got one place to record it rather than hunting through chats.

Can I keep pricing flexible for different designs, sizes and extras?

Yes. You can use fixed prices for standard items (cupcake boxes, simple celebration cakes) and request details for custom work where pricing depends on servings, complexity and finishes. Add optional extras like delivery, setup, toppers or additional tiers. That way you’re not stuck offering a one-price-fits-all that doesn’t cover your time.

Why iBookFast for your cake maker business?

Cake orders don’t behave like a normal appointment business. A customer might enquire six months ahead for a wedding cake, then go quiet for weeks, then suddenly want a call “tonight” because they’ve finally picked a venue. Others want a birthday cake in three days, with a photo from Pinterest and no idea of portions. If you’re relying on Instagram messages, a notebook, and memory, you spend your...
