Alright, let’s have a proper chat. Why use Caketu instead of nipping to the supermarket for a cake?

Simple — because supermarket cakes are fine, but they’re never “WOW.” And when you’ve got something worth celebrating — birthdays, babies, weddings, Tuesday afternoons — don’t you deserve something a bit more special?

I can’t deny it – supermarket cakes are convenient, but they just don’t have that super fresh, just-baked taste! They’re several days old before they even reach the shop shelf! They’re also very generic – because they have to appeal to as many people as possible.

I built Caketu with the aim of making fresh, delicious, bespoke cakes more accessible.

The idea of Caketu is for it to make the cake commissioning process almost as easy as picking one off a shelf – but way better! Now, you can order the freshest, yummiest bakes, with the sort of personalisation supermarkets couldn’t dream of! Caketu bakers can offer their designs in multiple flavours and sizes. Supermarkets can’t do that! Caketu bakers can offer your personalised cake design to be vegan, eggless, gluten-free. Supermarkets simply can’t give that level of choice! And for the icing on the bespoke cake, Caketu bakers can offer further personalisation options like name, age, initials, favourite colour, or maybe even with a message.

Not only that, you’re supporting an independent creator in your community, not some nameless, faceless corporate behemoth, while getting something that looks and tastes amazing! Win win!

We’ve made it super easy — you pop in your location, the date you need the cake, and you can browse available bakers and cakes nearby. You don’t have to ask the bakers what the different personalisation options are – they’re right there for you to pick – along with the cost being really clear. You can customise and order the one that catches your eye, and pay securely using our trusted financial provider Stripe. Then you collect, or receive (delivery options are down to the individual baker – check out their profiles) on the date you requested. Super simple!

Hopefully you’re then delighted with your cake and you leave the baker a glowing review, so future customers know how great they are!

There’s something magical about knowing your cake was made with care, just for you, not on a conveyor belt in a factory. So next time you need a cake, skip the boring aisle. Find someone local, get something amazing, and make your celebration that much sweeter!
