November Website Update (2024)
We really appreciate the feedback received over the past month from those we met at Cake International and those who messaged us via email or social media. Your feedback is important to ensure we continue to create a platform that works for you.
What’s Changed
1) Bake Types
Many of you asked for more variety in our “bake types” under your listing. As a result, we’ve added 4 new bake types.
– 3D Cakes/Sculpted
– Bento Cakes
– Cake Pops/Cakesicles
– Mousse Cakes
2) Customers search now includes any Dietary Requirements
We spoke to bakers who specialize in being 100% Vegan bakers and some who cater to other specific allergens that other bakers may not. You said it would be a great addition if customers could not only search for a baker but also search for bakers who cater to specific allergens. Preventing a customer from having to click into a profile before they can identify dietary requirements.
We have implemented a new “Dietary” tick list under each profile. Once selected, these are now linked to the first customer search. Customers are now able to search for bakers in their area and at the same time select any specific dietary requirements.
3) Verification Feature
Customer feedback pointed to how they could trust that certain key information provided by our bakers is legitimate. Most notably the details input supporting insurance food certification and council hygiene ratings.
When setting up or editing your profile you will now see three upload forms, this allows you to attach a photo/PDF of the documents that we will review.
Once reviewed, if all is correct, we will apply the “Verified Listing” label (see picture), confirming that your information is correct and up to date. The inputs will then be blocked so that you cannot edit them, until they expire i.e. the insurance policy expires.
We hope that by having this label, it adds further creditability for our bakers.
What do I need to do?
Anyone who hasn’t recently updated their profile will need to make the appropriate changes/updates. Ensuring your profile remains accurate and up to date. If you have any questions or want to reach out to us either contact us on social media or at [email protected].
