Running a home bakery is a labor of love, but between taking custom cake orders in your DMs, tracking ingredients on spreadsheets, chasing payments over text, and trying to grow your customer base, it can feel less like a passion and more like organized chaos.
That's exactly why we built Bakerkit: the all-in-one bakery management software designed specifically for home bakers, cottage food businesses, and small bakeries ready to run like a real business.
Why Home Bakers Need Dedicated Bakery Software
Most small business tools are built for retail stores or restaurants. They're expensive, overly complex, and completely ignore the realities of selling from home under cottage food laws.
Home bakers need something different:
- A way to take orders online without building a website from scratch
- Payment processing that doesn't eat into already thin margins
- A system that's easy to use and not a full-time job to manage
Bakerkit was built from the ground up to solve exactly these problems.
What is Bakerkit?
Bakerkit is a bakery business management platform that gives home bakers and small bakery owners everything they need to run and grow their business in one place.
From your first custom cake order to scaling to hundreds of customers a month, Bakerkit grows with you.

📦 Streamlined Order Management
Stop losing track of orders buried in Instagram messages and text threads. Bakerkit's order management system keeps every order organized in one dashboard, with customer details, order notes, due dates, and payment status all visible at a glance.
Never miss a pickup date or forget a special request again.
💳 Flexible Payment Processing
Bakerkit supports Stripe for online payments, so customers can pay by credit card at checkout. But here's what makes Bakerkit different: we never charge transaction fees, and we don't hold your money. Stripe's standard processing fees apply, but every dollar goes directly to you.
Prefer cash, Venmo, or Zelle for local pickups? Bakerkit supports manual payment methods at no additional cost, giving you full flexibility.
