Frequently Asked Questions
There are hundreds of thousands of home bakers in India with different experience and skill levels. When a customer compares a home baker against other home bakers and bakeries while buying a custom cake, there is minimal information about the quality of the bakers’ work except for the cake listings on their social media pages, i.e., Facebook Instagram etc pages and a few customer reviews. Qualified and experienced commercial home bakers are not differentiated from the mass. There is minimal information available to consumers about their skills, FSSAI registration, etc. This makes it difficult for customers to entrust the right home baker with their order and creates an imbalance in the market’s quality versus price of custom cakes & bakes.
That’s why, in 2019 we decided to identify and publish a list of “India’s & City’s Top Home Bakers” based on their qualifications, achievements, food license, complexity, finish quality & the commercial value of their cakes & bakes.
To participate in the ranking, the home bakers from India needs to fill out the online nomination form.
The baker has to be a resident of India, and a home baker with no physical bakery store. They need to upload the pictures of their 10 best creations in the form.
Once they submit the form, they will receive an automated email notification indicating that an online application is received.
For any query, drop an email at info@homebakers.co.in or WhatsApp +918790910234 or +447918693896.
- Complexity of your cakes & bakes – 10 marks
- Finish quality – 10 marks
- Commercial value – 4 marks
They assess the finish quality of cakes & bakes by looking at the sharpness and finesse of your work.
They assess the commercial value of cakes & bakes from a consumer point of view. Would they pay for this cake as a consumer for your celebration? They may not want to pay money for something complex or non-edible.
We understand it can happen unintentionally to a few bakers. If we clean such images at our end before judging, then this will reduce the number of pictures for bakers. If challenged by bakers on why their folders have fewer images, it will be difficult for us to prove to bakers that they had uploaded irrelevant photos. During the assessment, judges ignore these images and score based on the relevant photos. The fewer pictures would result in a lower score as they may get a limited perspective about the baker’s work compared to others. Therefore such entries are not disqualified.
There was no written rule on uploading non-watermark images. However, on a few occasions, we had suggested bakers upload non-watermark images. We understand that the bakers keep only watermark images on their phones to safeguard their work, and that’s why we let people upload watermark images too.
It is an independent yearly process. Any baker who has nominated themself will become a part of the scoring process for that year.
As Instagram may hold a mix of images for a baker – their work, student’s work and other non-relevant posts, we request bakers to upload ten photos of their latest bonafide work.
