CAN YOU TELL US A BIT ABOUT BAKE DIARY AND WHO IT AIMS TO HELP ?
Bake Diary was originally created in 2016 by twin brothers Clayton & Ross Lloyd , to help Clayton ’ s wife , Kim , with her baking business . As Kim ’ s business grew , she needed a formal system better suited for managing her orders . The brothers initially built a small application solely for Kim , but after it was shared with some of her cake friends , it very quickly received a lot of interest and expanded from there .
It didn ’ t take long for more decorators and home bakers to discover Bake Diary and Clayton and Ross realised they had to go back to square one and research more on what other struggles most people had trouble with .
Although there are big differences between the needs of home bakers and small teams in brick and mortar shops , the similarities in how certain tasks and workflows were done were obvious , so the focus started there . The primary goal was to ensure that anyone could very easily and quickly price their baked goods accurately as well as ensuring this was accessible straight from your phone .
After another 9 months of development the first official release of Bake Diary was launched to the public in September 2017 and three and a half years later it is being used by decorators and bakers in over 80 different countries across the world .
Bake Diary aims to help manage the day to day tasks of running a successful baking business regardless if you work out of your home or run a small ( or big ) team out of an established shop . Whether you ’ re just starting out and struggling with pricing or simply want to have a more professional way to create orders and keep track of invoices and payments ; Bake Diary would be the perfect fit .
