How many bakeries are listed across the New Orleans metro?
Eight right now, in New Orleans. The list grows as businesses are recommended, checked and added.
What makes a business inclusive on Inclusivity.org?
Every listing shows why it is here, with a source you can check: the owner's own statement, a public listing such as a chamber directory, or a recognized certification. Some are owned by the communities they serve and some are allies who welcome everyone. We never list someone's identity without a source.
How far ahead should I order a custom cake?
A week or more is a safe default, and wedding cakes often book months out. Many small bakers work by preorder only, so ask about lead times, deposits and delivery when you first get in touch.
Can a small bakery guarantee an allergen-free order?
Often not, because most share equipment and space. Ask how they handle cross-contact, and look for a dedicated allergen-free bakery if the risk is serious.
Is it free to be listed?
Yes. A basic listing is free, and owners can claim and update theirs at any time. Featured and Enhanced listings get more room on the page, and being listed never depends on them.
How do I suggest a bakery that is missing?
Use Recommend a business at the bottom of this page. We research every suggestion, and nothing goes live until it has been checked.
Know a bakery we're missing?
