A website for your bakes, orders and all
Your feed already has the cakes, the crumb and the trays coming out of the oven. An AI reads the account and writes the site around it: the flavors your captions name, starting prices, your lead time and delivery area, and one button that starts an order where you already take them. Then you change anything by telling the chat what you want.
Bakers: what your site is made of
Every cake you posted, as a gallery
The account’s photographs become the site’s: the tiered cakes, the cookie boxes, the finished table, the kitchen at 5am. The AI puts the strongest one at the top and keeps the rest as a gallery. You can upload your own as well.
Flavors and sizes, with starting prices
Whatever your captions and bio say you make and charge goes on the page: six inch, eight inch, how many it serves, "from $45". Nothing is invented. If a price is not in your account the site shows no price, and you can dictate the list in the chat.
How an order reaches you, with no cart involved
There is no checkout here, on purpose. The order button opens WhatsApp with the message already written, or the order form you already use, or your phone. Orders land where you read them today, not in one more inbox.
Lead time, delivery area and pickup
Two weeks for a tiered cake, Thursday cut-off for the weekend, the neighbourhoods you deliver to and where pickup happens: the questions that fill your inbox, answered before anybody asks them.
Allergens and the label your state asks for
Nuts, dairy, gluten, a home kitchen shared with a household: say it once in the chat, including the cottage-food statement your state requires, and it sits on the page where a customer actually reads it.
Why a link in the bio is not enough
- An order that arrives as a DM is not an order: no date, no serving count, no pickup time, and it scrolls away by morning.
- A cake post cannot be searched. Somebody who needs a birthday cake in your town types it into Google, not into Instagram.
- Repeating the lead time, the delivery area and the allergens in every chat costs you an hour a day. A page says it once, to everybody.
Questions
- Can I sell home baked goods online?
- In most of the country, yes, inside your own state, and many states now allow shipping by mail as well. What you may bake, how much you may sell in a year and what the label must say are set by your state, so read its rules before the first order. Your site can carry the statement your label carries; it cannot issue a permit, and nothing here is legal advice.
- Is it legal to sell baked goods from home?
- Every state allows some form of it and each draws the line differently: which foods qualify, whether you need a permit or a food-safety class, and the exact wording of the statement your label has to carry, which varies state by state. Your site can show that statement and your kitchen’s status. It cannot issue a permit, so get the rules from your state’s agriculture or health department.
- What pages should a bakery website include?
- A home that shows the work, the flavors with starting prices, a gallery of real cakes, a custom-order page that asks for the date and the servings, your lead times and delivery area, allergens, and a way to reach you. The AI writes the home plus the pages your account has earned, and another is one sentence away: "add a wedding cakes page".
- Can customers order and pay on the site?
- They can order, not pay. There is no cart and no checkout here. The button opens WhatsApp or a message with the cake, the date and the servings already filled in, or your own order form, or your number. Deposits keep happening where they happen today, from an invoice to the payment app you already use.
- What actually makes a bakery site bring in orders?
- Photographs of your own cakes, a starting price so nobody has to ask, the lead time in plain sight and one obvious button that begins an order. Most home-baker pages lose the sale at "message me for pricing". The AI writes from your captions and never invents a number, so if the price is missing, put it there in one sentence.
- How much does a cake business website cost here?
- Building one and publishing it is free at yourname.instatoweb.com, with a small badge in the footer. Pro is $9 a month: your own domain, no badge, unlimited chat edits and 100 uploads of your own photos. No setup fee and no designer.
