Vivi's Cakery

An award-winning bakery, online. A fast Next.js storefront with full Stripe payments, a bespoke cake-ordering flow, and a staff admin panel — the kind of e-commerce build that turns a local reputation into national orders.

The problem

A beloved bakery with no way to sell beyond the counter.

Vivi's Cakery had the product, the reputation and the demand — but no proper online storefront to capture it. Bespoke cake enquiries arrived through scattered messages, payments were manual, and there was no single place for staff to manage orders. The brand was punching below its weight online.

The solution

A fast, polished store built to take orders and payments.

I built Vivi's Cakery on Next.js for speed and SEO, with Stripe handling card, Apple Pay and Google Pay checkout and VAT-ready invoicing. A dedicated bespoke ordering flow captures custom cake requests cleanly, and a staff admin panel gives the team one place to manage products and orders.

Core features

What it does.

  • Next.js storefront

    Fast, server-rendered pages for strong performance and SEO — so the bakery actually gets found and the store feels instant.

  • Stripe payments

    Card, Apple Pay and Google Pay at checkout, with VAT-ready invoices generated automatically — frictionless for customers, clean for the books.

  • Bespoke cake ordering

    A guided flow for custom cake requests — capturing the details a bakery needs without the back-and-forth of DMs and emails.

  • Staff / admin panel

    One dashboard for the team to manage products and orders — the operational backbone behind the storefront.

Outcome

From counter to national.

Vivi's Cakery now has a storefront worthy of an award-winning brand — taking payments online, handling bespoke orders without chaos, and giving the team a real operational backbone. It's proof that I can deliver polished, conversion-focused e-commerce that earns its keep.

Where Vicarity shows the security-heavy, regulated side of my work, Vivi's Cakery shows the commercial, design-led side — the same engineer, two very different briefs.
