My thighs clearly aren’t looking for me to indulge in baked confectioneries… especially the type that are delivered right to my front door… but when I heard about Shopbake.com, I simply had to share the news about this sweet little online retailer. Without further ado, introducing Canada’s first and only online bakery marketplace.
For buyers:
Shopbake.com is your destination for the very best sellers of baked goods in Canada. Shop for cupcakes, cookies, cakes, bread, and more. Aside from regular baked goods, find nut-free, Kosher, gluten-free, vegan and other specialty bakeries close to your location.
For sellers:
Sell your baked goods on shopbake.com! Build your own shop quickly and easily, and list your products for Canadians all across Canada to purchase. It’s free to open a shop!
I happily sampled goodies from Short & Sweet Cupcakes, Dollop Bakery and more. But come on, I expected deliciousness – so what’s unique about Shopbake.com? Quite simply, it’s a convenient way to send gifts of love, congratulations or well wishes – from the comfort of your home or office. (And with the cold air settling in, a very welcome option indeed!) You’ve sent flowers to your loved ones. And maybe even a basket of fruit or cookies. Now it’s time to give the gift of macarons.
The website launched on September 17, 2014, and it’s still in the process of working out kinks and adding online sellers. However, bookmark the site; I’ve got my fingers crossed that this will be a small business success… because if there’s one thing the world needs, it’s an easier way to get cake.
Sounds like an easy way to send a cake (or cupcakes) to a friend :) I am going to be keeping my eye on them too ;)
Yup, it’s not perfect at the moment (a few kinks to work out) but definitely bookmark for the future!
If only I had this when I was pregnant to solve my cravings.
OMG!! That would be SO dangerous!!
This looks interesting, I love sweets!
I have the BIGGEST sweet tooth too, Eldon!
That is great! This is perfect for when you don’t know what gift to give/send to someone! Who doesn’t love baked goodies!
Exactly Jenn!!
I have a sweet tooth and I crave baked goodies so this sounds perfect for me. Thanks Lena!
You’re welcome Marissa – enjoy!
oh, this is dangerous for me lol Freshly baked goodies to my door is a dream!
I think it’s my dream too, hahaha!
Thanks for the share! I’ll be sure to remember this the next time I want to send something to a loved one :)
Please do Jodi! I think it’s so thoughtful to send baked goodies!!
This could be deadly for the diet…lol but definitely something to remember for when the need arises to send a gift!
Absolutely… I HOPE that’s all I use it for!
that is actually very cool. I get frustrated sometimes trying to google stuff like this.
Me too! Hope they can add a ton of new retailers soon!
This is amazing for a number of reasons. It’s convenient and it’s a nice gift for someone who just had a baby or a thank-you gift.
I absolutely agree!
an once on the lips, a lifetime on the hips!
Oh stop it. Says the man who is obsessed with bacon :)
This is a neat idea!! I have so many hard to buy for and can’t be bothered to travel from shop to shop, this is just wonderful thank you so much!
You’re welcome Darlene! This is exactly why Shopbake is such a good idea!

Indeed! Looking forward to seeing them grow!
Looks interesting! I couldn’t get the search function to load right but I’ll be sure to go back and try again.
Yep – good old kinks. Maybe give it a few days and try again – I’ve had issues on and off, but I did provide detailed feedback to their PR company, so I sincerely hope they forward my suggestions to Shopbake.com (the PR company didn’t reply to my email… ah well).
What a great idea! I may have to check them out
