Running a cake business means dealing with lots of customer requests – flavours, sizes, colours, dates, messages… and if you don’t stay organised, it’s easy for details to be missed. That’s where a Cake Order Form comes in.
Whether you're a home baker or run a cake shop, using a consistent order form can save you time, prevent misunderstandings, and keep your business looking professional.
What Is a Cake Order Form?
A Cake Order Form is a document (digital or printed) where you collect and confirm all important order details:
- Customer name and contact details
- Date of event and pick-up or delivery
- Cake size, flavour, colours, fillings
- Decoration requests and message
- Allergens and disclaimers
- Price and payment method
Why It’s So Useful
Using a Cake Order Form helps you:
- Stay consistent with every order
- Avoid forgetting important elements
- Show customers you’re professional and organised
- Have written proof of agreed details in case of a dispute
It’s especially helpful when communicating by message or email – no lost notes or confusion.
What to Include in Yours
Your form can be simple or detailed, but we recommend:
- Clear sections and space to write
- Tick-boxes for allergens
- Terms & conditions or handling notes
- Space for special notes or drawings
Don’t forget to leave room for your logo and contact details.
How to Use It
- Send as a PDF for the customer to fill in digitally or by hand
- Bring a printed version to in-person consultations
- Use it to confirm final order details before taking payment
