More reviews for your bakery
Bakery reviews come easiest right after the customer picks up or serves your work. A message the day after a birthday or wedding, asking how the cake went over, gets better responses than a generic request. AI can draft the ask and the replies; you send them.

Ask the day after the party
The best time to ask for a review is when the guests have just eaten the cake and the compliments are fresh. A short message with a direct link and one sentence about the event gets more replies than a form letter.
Photos make reviews convincing
People looking for a custom cake trust photos from real customers. You can invite them to add one, only if they want to and have the right to share it.
Reply with the treat named
A reply that says “so glad the lemon raspberry went over well at Maya’s shower” beats a pasted thank-you. AI can draft that line from the review, and you adjust.
If a review mentions a mistake, such as a misspelled name on a cake, own it, say what you did to fix it and thank them for telling you.
Picture this
Examples of what it can look like. Illustrations, not clients.
The morning after a wedding, the bride gets a note asking how the cake went, with a link to leave a review.
A regular posts about your sourdough. The reply names the loaf and mentions that it sells out by noon.
A complaint about a late pickup is flagged right away, so you can reach out before it spreads.
The rules that apply, in their own words

Questions
Can I offer a free cookie for a review?
Most platforms do not allow that. Ask for an honest review and leave it there.
What about a bad review?
Reply calmly and specifically. The next customer reading it is the one you are writing for.
Can I ask for photos?
You can invite them, but only if the customer wants to share. Do not repost without asking.
