🎂 How to Choose a Custom Baker in Kenya – 5 Things to Check Before You Book

From birthday cakes in Syokimau to wedding desserts in Kilimani, cupcakes in Kisumu to branding treats in Eldoret—custom baking is where creativity meets celebration. But not every baker delivers quality, hygiene, and verified service.

Here are five things to check before you book a custom baker in Kenya:

✅ 1. Are They Verified and Reviewed?

You’re trusting someone with your event centerpiece. You need a baker with real credentials—not just a pretty Instagram page.

What to look for:

  • ✅Verified badge on the Balozy App
  • ✅Ratings and reviews from real clients
  • ✅Clear service descriptions (cakes, cupcakes, pastries, branding treats)
  • ✅Photos of past work and client testimonials

💡 On Balozy, every baker is background-checked and reviewed—so you book with confidence.

🎨 2. Do They Understand Your Theme and Dietary Needs?

Custom baking isn’t just decoration—it’s personalization. A good baker should tailor the design, flavor, and ingredients to your event.

Ask before booking:

  • ✅Can you match my theme, colors, or branding?
  • ✅Do you offer gluten-free, vegan, or allergy-friendly options?
  • ✅Can you replicate a design or create something original?

📍 3. Are They Local to Your Area?

Booking someone from your estate or cluster means easier delivery, faster coordination, and lower transport costs.

Balozy Tip: Use the “Near Me” filter to find bakers in Nairobi, Machakos, Eldoret, Kisumu, or wherever you are.

💬 4. Do They Communicate Clearly and Professionally?

You want someone who confirms your order, shares progress, and respects your timeline—not someone who improvises or ghosts.

Look for:

  • ✅Fast response time on the app
  • ✅Transparent pricing and delivery terms
  • ✅Respectful, collaborative tone

🧁 5. Do They Offer Add-On Services?

A verified baker should offer more than cake. Look for extras like setup, packaging, branding, or dessert tables.

Ask:

  • ✅Do you offer delivery, setup, or display styling?
  • ✅Can you brand cupcakes or cookies for corporate events?
  • ✅Do you provide tasting sessions or sample boxes?
