Bakery - Cake Shop / Cafe WordPress Theme 1.3.1

The Bakery (often listed as Bakery | WordPress Cake & Food Theme) is a top-selling, premium WordPress theme on ThemeForest, specifically crafted for bakeries, cake shops, cafes, and pastry houses. It is widely recognized for its ease of use and its ability to handle high-resolution food photography.

Here is an overview of its core features and technical setup as of late 2025:

## Top Visual & Sales Features

Built-in Order Forms: Unlike many themes that require a complex checkout for everything, Bakery includes custom order and contact forms specifically for cake commissions (e.g., wedding cake consultations).

80+ Pre-built Pages: It provides one of the largest libraries of pre-designed pages in its niche, including unique "Our Story," "Chef Profiles," and "Special Offers" layouts.

Special Offer Shortcodes: Includes dedicated modules to highlight daily specials or limited-time discounts on the homepage with countdown timers or "deal of the day" badges.

Food-Specific Icons: Comes with over 1000+ custom font icons, many of which are specifically related to food, sweets, and kitchenware.

### Why It Stands Out

Bakery is often preferred by small business owners who aren't "tech-savvy" because it is less bloated than multipurpose themes. It focuses strictly on the sensory experience of food—using large whitespace and "Before & After" shortcodes (great for showing the baking process or cake transformations).

Would you like me to help you compare this with the "Cake Bakery" theme, or would you like a guide on how to set up the "Special Offers" section for your store?
