Find & Compare Bakeries in Your Area!

Bakeries make bread, pastries, cookies, cupcakes and cakes, from a morning croissant counter to a studio that produces only custom wedding and celebration cakes. Many also fill catering orders of breakfast trays or dessert tables for offices and parties. Visitors come to this page for a tiered wedding cake, a themed birthday cake, a dozen for the office, or a loaf that beats the supermarket.

Commercial bakeries work under a health department permit and inspection, and in most states a food manager or food handler certification; home bakers may instead operate under cottage food rules, which limit what they can sell and where. Ask which applies, and ask how allergens are handled if nut, gluten or dairy matter to you. For a custom cake, ask about lead time, a tasting, deposit, delivery and setup, and what happens if the cake is damaged in transit. Pricing is usually per serving for cakes and per dozen or per item for everything else, with delivery on top. Bakeries often work alongside caterers and wedding venues, so ask whether a cutting fee applies at your site.
