Built by a baker who got tired of
chasing payments and missing orders.
You make incredible cakes. Whiskly handles everything else: bookings, deposits, customer communication, the calendar. So you can spend your time in the kitchen instead of the DMs.
Sound familiar?
The way most bakers take orders is broken.
DMs everywhere
Instagram. Facebook. Text. Email. You spend more time managing messages than baking.
Customers who ghost
You spend an hour on a custom quote. They say "let me think about it." You never hear back.
Price shock
You pour your heart into a quote. They respond: "That's so expensive, my cousin does it for $40."
No system
Order details in texts, deposits in Venmo, event dates in your head. One thing falls through and it's your reputation on the line.
There is a better way.
One place for every inquiry. Structured requests so customers come prepared with a budget, date, and vision. Your pricing posted upfront so only serious buyers reach out.
How it works
Simple for you. Professional for your customers.
Customers find your cakes through Whiskly's browse and search. They book directly through your profile with a structured order form, pay a deposit through the platform, and get clear delivery details. You see the order, accept it, bake the cake. Whiskly handles the rest.
You set your prices. You keep your customer relationships. You keep your style. Whiskly is the platform underneath, not a middleman.

Doing the math
Founding pays for itself at ~$467/month in orders — at that volume the 3% commission saving (7% vs 10% Free) covers the $14 fee. At $1,000/month, Founding saves you $16 net versus Free. At $3,000/month, $76. And your rate is locked for three years — it won't rise even if Whiskly raises pricing for new bakers.
Why we built it this way
Whiskly only earns when we earn for you. Your customer fee covers our operations during this early phase. Commission only activates when at least 40% of your orders come from customers Whiskly brought you, or after 18 months on the platform, whichever comes first.
That means we're not extracting from your existing business. We're building something that grows with you.
