For home bakers

Order management for cake businesses

WISMO helps home bakers track custom cake orders from inquiry to delivery, without losing details in Instagram DMs, WhatsApp chats, notebooks, or spreadsheets. It runs on iPhone and Android, gives every order a tracking link your customer opens in any browser with no app to install, and is free for your first 30 orders.

Why chats and spreadsheets stop working for home bakers and custom cake makers

WISMO is built for home bakers and custom cake makers who want to stay on top of orders without setting up a complicated online shop.

  • Cake design notes, flavours, delivery dates, and payment screenshots get scattered across chats.

  • Customers repeatedly ask if their cake is started, ready, or still on schedule.

  • Advance payments and remaining balances are hard to track during busy weeks.

How home bakers use WISMO

Your steps, in your own words

Name the stages your cake goes through. Your customer sees these exact words on their tracking page, not a general “In progress”.

  1. New
  2. Baking
  3. Decorating
  4. Ready for Pickup
  5. Completed

Three steps, every order

  1. 1

    Create each cake order with customer details, due date, price, and payment status.

  2. 2

    Share one branded tracking link so customers can check progress themselves.

  3. 3

    Add status updates and notes as the cake moves from confirmed to in progress to ready.

What you keep with each order

  • Cake, size and flavour
  • Message and decoration notes
  • Allergies
  • Pickup or delivery date
  • Deposit and balance

Common questions

Can WISMO replace a cake order spreadsheet?

Yes. WISMO is built for active order tracking, payment visibility, due dates, and customer-facing tracking links rather than static spreadsheet rows.

Do cake customers need to download WISMO?

No. Customers open their cake tracking page in a browser from the link you share on WhatsApp, SMS, Instagram, or email.

How much does WISMO cost?

WISMO is free for your first 30 orders, with no credit card and no time limit. Pro is $9.99/month or $69.99/year for unlimited orders, no WISMO branding, photos on updates and automatic customer emails, and starts with a 7-day free trial. App stores show the price in your local currency.
