Sell homemade cakes and bakes from your kitchen

What sells

• Celebration cakes in two sizes (half kg and one kg) with a short list of flavours
• Brownies, cookies and banana bread by the box of 6 or 12
• Eggless versions: half of all cake searches in many cities ask for them
• Tea cakes and loaves that keep for three days, easy to batch on one day

Pricing

• Add up ingredients, packaging and gas or power, then multiply by about 2.5 for your time
• Charge extra for custom messages, toppers and fondant; list it so nobody is surprised

Packing and order times

• Use cake boxes with a base board; tape the lid and write the flavour and date on the side
• Set the order cutoff at least a day before so you can bake fresh

Keeping it fresh

Cream cakes stay chilled and are best within a day; dry cakes, cookies and brownies keep two to four days in a closed box.

Selling cakes and bakes on Bloom, step by step

1. Turn on your kitchen. In Bloom's Kitchen tab, tap Sell your home cooking: a name, what you cook, pickup or delivery and how you get paid. Three steps, free.
2. Add your dishes. Each dish once: a photo, the price, the portion (serves 2, 500 g, 6 pieces) and the allergens.
3. Plan your cook days. Tick the days you cook, how many portions of each dish, and when orders close. Days that repeat every week open by themselves.
4. Share your menu. Bloom makes a menu picture and message for WhatsApp, your status, Instagram and your building group, the moment it's live.
5. Cook, hand over, get paid. Orders count down your portions. Buyers pay you directly by UPI, bank, any payment app or cash. No commission.

Rules for selling food from home differ by country and city. Bloom lets you add a registration or permit number where you have one; check what your area asks for.
