What Bakery Buddy Covers

Track every custom order with due dates, flavor notes, and customer details — just like Bake Diary, but faster.

Your full customer history, preferences, and contact info, all in one place. Import your Bake Diary contacts in minutes.

Recipe & ingredient tracking

Content planner & SmartLinks

Plan your posts on a content calendar and build a branded link-in-bio page that points customers at your order form, your site, and whatever you're promoting this week.
