Pastry chefs: booking custom cake tastings online

A wedding or birthday cake starts with a tasting: flavours, fillings, design and size. Let clients book that tasting online in the hours your shop or lab can host it, with the event date in the note. You prepare the right samples, protect your baking hours, and book the collection slot before they leave.

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description shown on your public page, and each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity. Give tastings one place per slot: a couple or family books once.

Durations, places and prices are examples: set your own. Say in the description whether the tasting fee is deducted from the cake.

The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note that reaches you in the new booking email and appears in the client's calendar file. Ask in the description for:

Open tasting slots only in quieter hours, such as weekday afternoons. Slots repeat each week on the weekdays you choose until an end date, so mornings stay for baking.

After the tasting, book the design meeting and the collection slot yourself from your bookings list. First and last name are enough; if you enter the client's email, they get a confirmation with a calendar file. Give collection slots a few places, so several orders can be picked up in the same window.

Open extra tasting slots ahead of the season with an end date, and say in the description how many weeks ahead clients should book.

Clients can't move or cancel online: they contact you, and rescheduling works across services. Book doesn't email clients about changes, sends no reminders and doesn't take payments or deposits. Your bookings sync with Google, iPhone or Mac calendars. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
