What is an album for a cake shop?
A cake album at a cake shop is a photo collection or catalogue that highlights all the delicious cakes they offer. It’s a great way for customers to explore various designs, flavours, and customisation options.
The Album Master is primarily used to process sales and advance orders for personalised cakes.
