How to Register as a Home Baker on HomeBakers (2026 Guide)

Getting your home bakery listed on HomeBakers is free and takes about five minutes. Your profile goes live immediately, customers in your city can find and contact you directly on WhatsApp, and you get access to our free baker tools — no commission on your orders, ever.

Here is the complete, up-to-date process.

Step 1: Sign in (no password needed)

• Go to homebakers.com/auth/baker
• Enter your email address and tap Send OTP.
• You'll receive a 6-digit code by email. Enter it and you're in — your account is created automatically if you're new.
• You can also sign in with Google from the main Sign In page if you prefer.

There are no passwords to remember and nothing to download.

Step 2: Create your baker profile

Once signed in, you'll land on the Register as a Baker page (you can always reach it at homebakers.com/register-baker). Fill in your details:

• Baker Name (required) — your name as you want customers to see it, e.g. "Anjana Lath".
• Bakery Name — your brand name, if you have one, e.g. "DoughGirl".
• City (required) — where customers can find you, e.g. Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai. This decides which city searches and cake enquiries you appear in.
• Specialising In — what you bake best, e.g. "Birthday cakes, eggless bakes, cupcakes".
• Short Bio — two or three lines about your baking journey and what makes your bakes special.
• Email & Phone — your contact details. Customers reach you directly.
• FSSAI Registration Number — optional but strongly recommended. A visible FSSAI number builds trust and helps you rank better.
• Instagram, Facebook & Website links — link your social pages so customers can see your work.

Click Create Profile and that's it — your page is live instantly at a permanent address like homebakers.com/baker/your-name-city.

Already listed from the old site? Claim your profile

Thousands of baker profiles were migrated from homebakers.co.in. If you're already listed, don't create a duplicate — claim your existing profile:

• Search for your name on Find a Baker or browse your city page.
• Open your profile and click Claim this profile.
• Verify your email with an OTP. If it matches the email on the listing, ownership is transferred to you instantly and you can edit everything.
• If the email doesn't match, write to us at info@homebakers.com and we'll verify you manually.

What you get with a free listing

• Your own profile page with photo, specialty, bio and a direct WhatsApp/Call button — customers contact you, we never sit in between.
• Directory and city visibility — you appear in Find a Baker searches and on your city page (homebakers.com/bakers/your-city).
• Rankings eligibility — profiles are considered for India's Top Home Bakers. India Rank and City Rank are decided by the HomeBakers team based on engagement and quality; they can't be self-edited.
• Cake enquiry leads — when a customer in your city posts a cake request, matched bakers receive the lead with the customer's details on WhatsApp, so you can follow up immediately.
• Pricing Calculator — cost your recipes accurately with ingredient and utility costs, city-wise benchmarks and shareable price invoices. Free to try; the full Pro version with saved recipes and invoices is ₹500/year.
• Recipe Manager — save and reuse your recipes and costings.
• My Bookings — tickets for bake shows and events you've registered for.

Tips for a profile that gets orders

• Add a clear photo or logo — profiles with images get far more clicks.
• Be specific in "Specialising In": "Custom birthday & photo cakes, Chennai" beats "cakes".
• Complete your bio and add your Instagram — customers check your work before messaging.
• Keep your WhatsApp number correct; that's where enquiries and customer messages arrive.
• Mention your FSSAI number once you have it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is listing on HomeBakers free?

Yes. Creating and maintaining your baker profile is completely free. We don't take any commission on your orders. Only the Pro version of the Pricing Calculator costs ₹500/year.

Do I need an FSSAI licence to list?

No, you can list without one. But FSSAI registration is legally required to sell food from home in India, and displaying your number builds customer trust — so we strongly recommend getting it.

How long does registration take?

About five minutes. Sign in with an OTP, fill in the form, and your profile is live immediately.

Can I edit my profile later?

Yes. Sign in and go to homebakers.com/register-baker — the same page lets you update your details any time.

My city isn't in the list — what do I do?

Just type your city name. New cities are supported as soon as a baker lists there.

How do customers contact me?

Directly — through the WhatsApp or Call button on your profile. Cake enquiry leads arrive as WhatsApp messages with the customer's requirements and phone number.
