The Industry in perspective

A flawlessly made cake is one of a baker’s crowning achievements, both seductively delicious and visually appealing. Quality cakes exist in an infinite number of flavours, from sponge to cheesecake, chocolate to carrot. Regardless of their speciality, exceptional bakers are all proficient at mixing robust, sweet tastes with a moist texture.

Cape Town is home to more than a hundred top cake shops and enterprises, which provide a broad range of tastes and designs. Cakes were not always as popular as they are now. Significant changes are noticeable as a result of new varieties, uniqueness, improved tastes, various decorations and patterns, and the entire atmosphere. Furthermore, the client’s reaction to these types is outstanding.

The demand for cakes is as great as ever – the bakery market is flourishing. With a plethora of cake stores and bakeries available, it can be difficult to select the best supplier. While, word of mouth has long had an impact on people’s purchasing decisions when it comes to cakes, in today’s digital landscape, online reviews often dictate whether a consumer will select a particular cake maker over the others.

This means when people have a great experience, they leave reviews and recommend the bakery service. To first-time customers, such reviews can be effective because they help build relationships and demonstrate your commitment to customer service. For cake makers, keeping tabs on their online reviews and using them to improve and promote your business, grows the bakery’s online presence and boost customer satisfaction. A win-win for both sides.
