Cake flyer design and bakery content that gets pre-orders

What to put on a cake flyer design

Cake buyers have a date in mind. Your flyer should answer the questions they will ask before they send money:

• Sizes and layers: 6 inch, 8 inch, 10 inch, one or two tiers.
• Flavours: vanilla, chocolate, red velvet, coconut, fruit cake for weddings.
• Prices from, per size, and what costs extra (fondant, toppers, writing).
• How many days' notice you need, and the last order day for big seasons.
• Delivery areas and fees, or pickup point with a landmark.

Price lists and menus that stop the 'how much' messages

Make two flyers, not one crowded one: a cake price list and a small chops and pastries list. Small chops trays, meat pies, puff puff, chin chin, doughnuts and banana bread each sell to different people at different times. Pick the Elegant style for celebration cakes and Bold or Owambe / vibrant for party packs.

Changing prices often? Bulk flyers keeps one design and stamps each item and price from your list, so updating your menu takes minutes.

Make your cakes look as good as they taste

Take a photo of the finished cake in daylight near a window. Product photos can clean the background or place it on marble or a white studio set, in 2 to 4 variations. Then use Photo to video on your best shot: a slow push in, light catching the icing. A 5 or 10 second clip like that on Status does more than ten still pictures.

Always use photos of cakes you actually baked. Customers order what they see, and trust is the whole business.

Small chops and pastries sell well as short videos too: a tray being filled, puff puff being dusted with sugar, meat pies coming out of the oven. Five or ten seconds is enough to make someone hungry on a Friday afternoon.

A baker's calendar

• Valentine's Day: heart cakes, cupcake boxes, his and hers treats. Take orders early.
• Mother's Day and Father's Day: small gift cakes with a message.
• Easter, Sallah and Christmas: family cakes, chin chin jars and party trays.
• Detty December: party small chops for every weekend in December.
• Every week: one 'cake of the week' post with a real customer's cake, shared with their permission.
