Searching for a local bakery

Local bakeries are found through their own storefront.

Someone searching for local bakeries wants a bakery that can make the cake, a way to see the design, and a time to pick it up or have it delivered. That search should land on the bakery’s own website. Frostly is software for that bakery. Bakery Search DC provides a separate directory linking to DC metro bakery websites; Frostly does not take cake orders.

What a search for local bakeries is asking for

The person searching is looking for a bakery they can order from, often one close enough to collect the cake or deliver it. They need the bakery’s name, what it can make, and how to place the order. A software homepage cannot stand in for that bakery. The useful result is the bakery’s own storefront.

Keep the order on the bakery’s site

Bakery Search DC links directly to DC metro bakery websites. Frostly does not place a bakery in map results. The bakery is found through its own name, location, and website. Once someone is there, the hosted cake visualizer can show icing, piping, colors, and lettering inside that storefront. The bakery keeps the products, prices, cart, and checkout.

Match the preview to what the bakery can make

A local bakery decides which sizes, flavors, and decorations it can prepare. Connect those choices to the preview so the searcher sees a cake the bakery can actually produce. The preview does not replace ingredient information, allergen guidance, or the bakery’s production instructions.

What is available for a local bakery today

The hosted cake visualizer is available now, including a free plan with the Frostly watermark and 1,000 embed requests per month for one store location. Storefront, back office, order management, and delivery windows are in development. They are not included in the visualizer subscription.
