Your kitchen table is the whole company.
You take orders in your DMs, bake in small batches, and do the books at midnight. Bakery Buddy pulls it together — turn messages into real orders, know your true cost per batch, and keep the mileage and receipts your taxes need.
Custom cakes & desserts, made to order
Start an orderMade for a home-based, one-person bake business
Paste the text a customer sent and Buddy reads it into a structured order — date, servings, flavors, pickup. No more scrolling your messages to remember who ordered what.
Roll your ingredient costs up through each recipe so you know what a dozen cookies or a single cake actually costs to make — and whether your price leaves you anything.
Mileage logs automatically and receipts attach to expenses, so when tax time comes you've got a mileage report and a P&L instead of a shoebox.
Get a hosted order page on a free bakerybuddy.ai address (or your own domain on Baker) so customers order from a real site — not just by sliding into your DMs.
Cottage-food scale, without the cottage-food chaos
Most bakery tools assume a storefront, a team, and a POS. Bakery Buddy assumes it's just you, working from home, taking orders on your phone. Same real features — orders, batch costing, invoicing, mileage, and a website — sized for a solo operation, with Buddy AI grounded in your own numbers.
Bring your orders in one place
Paste the DM, or share your order form link, and each request becomes a tracked order you can follow to pickup — all from your phone.
Price each batch with confidence
Your recipes carry their real ingredient cost, so you set a price that covers your time and materials instead of guessing.
Let the tax stuff log itself
Mileage records as you drive and receipts stay attached to expenses, so your mileage report and P&L are ready when you need them.

Is this overkill for a home baker?
No — it's built for exactly this. The primary user is a solo maker taking orders in DMs and doing admin at midnight. You can start on the Home plan at $0 with the whole app, unlimited customers, and Buddy AI included on a $2/mo Buddy Balance.
I take most orders through Instagram DMs. Does that still work?
Yes. Paste the message a customer sent and Buddy parses it into a structured order with the date, servings, and details filled in. You keep taking orders however customers reach you — the app just gives them a home.
How does the tax and mileage tracking help?
Mileage logs automatically and receipts attach to expenses, so you can pull a mileage tax report and a profit-and-loss without reconstructing a year from memory. It's the admin that usually slips, handled as you go.
Can I take payments as a cottage-food seller?
Yes. You connect your own Stripe account and send invoices customers pay online — a deposit or the full amount. Because it's your Stripe Connect account, payouts go straight to your bank.
