Looking for a Bake Diary Alternative in the UK?

Bake Diary was the order management tool most UK and Irish cake makers reached for. It handled Stripe and Square payments, a cake template designer, and an order calendar built around how bakers actually work. In May 2025, it shut down.

That left a gap. Most of the tools that stepped in are built for the US market first: US-only payment processors, dollar pricing, and no real thought given to how a UK baker takes a deposit or quotes in pounds. If you searched for a Bake Diary alternative and found yourself stuck adapting a US tool to a UK business, you are not alone.

What a UK cake maker actually needs

Strip away the extras and the list is short. A public enquiry page to replace the Instagram DM back-and-forth. Somewhere every enquiry lands automatically, so nothing gets lost in a messaging app. A calendar that shows what is due and when. A simple status tracker so you know which orders are quoted, confirmed, or done. Pricing in pounds, built for a UK business from day one.

That is the gap BakerInbox was built to fill: a straightforward, UK-priced replacement for the parts of the old workflow that actually mattered, without the recipe costing, allergen databases, and other extras that make some of today's options feel heavier than a small cake business needs.

Getting started

Sign up, get a public enquiry link, and share it on Instagram, your website, or a WhatsApp status. Every enquiry lands straight in your dashboard. No spreadsheet migration, no manual setup.
