Bakery habits.
- Name the pastry. It doubles as a recommendation for the next reader.
- Sold out: say when it usually sells out and whether people can pre-order.
- Custom cakes: complaints are emotional because the event mattered. Apologise for the occasion, then fix privately.
- Allergies: never promise "allergen-free" unless you truly control it. Say what you do and invite questions.

5-starFavourite pastry
Review (example)
The cardamom bun is the best thing I've eaten this year.
Example reply
That's high praise for a bun! Thank you. They come out of the oven around 8am, if you want one warm.
Why it works: Names the bun, adds a tip.
3-starSold out
Review (example)
Came at 1pm and almost everything was gone.
Example reply
Sorry about the empty shelves. We bake once in the morning and most things go by lunchtime. You can pre-order by [method] the day before, and we'll hold it for you.
Why it works: Explains, offers a real fix.
1-starBirthday cake wrong
Review (example)
Ordered a birthday cake with my son's name and it was spelled wrong.
Example reply
I'm so sorry. That's exactly the detail that should be perfect on a birthday. Please contact me at [phone]. I'd like to make it up to you both.
Why it works: Acknowledges the occasion, takes it offline.
