Nationwide bakery recruitment

US commercial bakery recruitment markets

Cooter Cakes accepts bakery-partner applications from eligible commercial kitchens in all 50 states. The places below are recruitment priorities—not a list of active bakery service, city coverage, or guaranteed demand.

Apply to become a partner Check cake availability

No approved bakery network yet

No approved bakery locations or physical cake offerings are published today, so cake checkout is not available. A named recruitment market does not mean that a bakery is active there. Availability will show only real, approved locations and offerings after they are published.

Eligible operators

Built for commercial bakeries that can make the product well.

Commercial cake businesses

Commercial bakeries, custom cake studios, retail bakeries, and pâtisseries using a licensed or approved commercial kitchen may apply.

Product-ready operators

Food-business operators should have decorated-cake capabilities and be willing to prepare approved adult-novelty cake designs.

Location-specific review

An application can begin anywhere in the United States, but each production location is reviewed and approved separately.

What review covers

Real kitchen details before any activation.

Review considers the operating business, the actual production location, decorated-cake capabilities, and the capacity the bakery can reliably fulfill. It also covers the proposed product: recipe, ingredients, allergen information, representative product samples, packaging samples, and actual pricing.

Before a location can be published, the bakery must complete the applicable operator review, location and offering approvals, and merchant/payment readiness. Application approval, recipe approval, merchant readiness, and public publication are separate decisions.

Providing information or samples does not guarantee approval, activation, orders, sales, income, or profit.

Proposed working terms

Clear defaults, not a profit promise.

No joining fee. No base monthly fee. The proposed direct-channel commission is 25% of commissionable product sales. Commissionable product sales are product charges after bakery-funded discounts, less refunded or canceled product amounts.

Tax, tips, delivery or pass-through charges, and separate sponsor reimbursements are excluded from the commission base. Product refunds reverse the original proportional commission. These are proposed commercial defaults, not a binding agreement or a guaranteed profit.

Priority outreach list

A nationwide application path, with focused local outreach.

This is one recruitment hub, not a collection of city landing pages. Applications are welcome from all 50 states whether or not a city or metro appears here. These priorities are not exhaustive and do not represent active full service, an approved seller, a delivery area, an opening date, territory rights, or a consumer availability claim.

Recruitment priorities

Customers: check availability, not a city list.

Market priorities are for bakery recruitment. Customers should use the availability flow with a ZIP and date; it will show a physical cake only when an approved bakery can actually fulfill it.
