What to put in the list, how to photograph it and how to take orders for this kind of shop.
How to organise it
A baker sells fresh items by weight or by box, and custom cakes at a price after a chat. List standard cakes with a price, and put custom orders as an item with no price and the line "message us".
An example list (made-up items and prices)
| Item | Price | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Chocolate cake 500 g | ₹600 | Soft sponge with chocolate cream |
| Pineapple cake 500 g | ₹550 | Fresh cream and pineapple |
| Cupcakes (box of 6) | ₹300 | Vanilla and chocolate |
| Brownies (box of 4) | ₹220 | Fudgy, with walnuts |
| Whole wheat bread loaf | ₹60 | Baked daily |
| Custom cake | Message us the design and weight |
Start from this example It fills the maker with these items. Replace them with yours.
Photos
Cakes sell on photos. Shoot near a window in daylight, show one cake at a time on a plain plate and cut one slice for a second photo. Avoid heavy filters that change the colour.
Words
Name the flavour and one sensory detail: "soft sponge, fresh cream". State the weight and servings. If an item has nuts or eggs, say so clearly for customers with allergies.
Taking orders
Say how much notice you need, how far you deliver and how the cake is handled in summer heat. For custom cakes, take an advance and a message with the design, weight, date and name for the cake.
What to avoid
Health claims such as "sugar-free" or "healthy" unless you can prove them and the rules where you live allow them. Check food rules for home bakers where you live; this site does not state them.
The example in numbers
The example has 6 items. Priced items run from ₹60 to ₹600, and one of each would cost ₹1,730. 1 item (custom cake) has no price, because the price depends on the request: customers are asked to message the shop. The prices are made up. Use the target price and profit calculators on the seller profit section to set real ones from your own costs.
Before you share it
- Check every price and every spelling once more, on the phone a customer will use.
- Open the order link on your own phone and send yourself a test order.
- Put your hours and delivery area in the line under the shop name.
- Remove any item you cannot supply today.
- Save the catalogue file, so you can reload it next season.

Photos stay in your own browser. The order link holds the item names, prices and descriptions but no photos, and orders go only to the shop's WhatsApp. Example items and prices are made up. No tax or food rules are stated here: check them where you live. Checked 14 November 2026.
