How does DIY baking work?

  1. Choose a suitable branch.

  2. Choose the type of cake or dessert you want to make.

  3. Make a reservation for a specific date and time slot.

  4. Once you arrive at the store, follow the instructions on the digital recipe to begin making the food.

  5. Use the ingredients, utensils, and baking equipment that are already prepared on-site.

  6. After baking, decorating, and packaging, take your creation with you.

The preparation time and difficulty vary depending on the type of dessert. First-timers can start with desserts that have simpler steps; if you want to challenge yourself with elaborate cakes or more complex creations, it is recommended to allow more time. If needed, except for fully self-service stores, other branches will have baking ambassadors on hand to provide assistance.
