Engineered for artisanal bakery Yekpare Pastanesi in Serdivan, Sakarya, the Custom Cake Design Studio (tasarla.yekparepastanesi.com) transforms bespoke celebration cake ordering into a guided 13-step interactive studio complete with real-time portion sizing, culinary layer customization, generative AI previewing, and instant WhatsApp chef handoff.
Executive Project Summary
Built on Next.js, Tailwind CSS, and Prisma ORM with light/dark theme switching, the configurator guides customers across 11 occasion styles, a 10–200 guest portion slider, 1–5 tier geometry, sponge/cream/filling/coating matrices, curated 4-tone color palettes, AI visual synthesis (/api/generate-cake), and preliminary budget calculation.
Replacing Endless Chat Back-and-Forth in Bespoke Patisserie Orders
Custom wedding, birthday, and corporate cake inquiries traditionally bog pastry chefs down in lengthy messaging threads over guest counts, sponge flavors, frosting styles, and inscription colors.
Structuring every culinary and aesthetic variable into an intuitive wizard empowers customers while handing the pastry kitchen a complete, unambiguous production sheet.
13-Step Culinary Anatomy, AI Preview Synthesis, and Dynamic Pricing
Delivered under Enterprise AI Integrations and Next.js Application Engineering, client-side wizard responsiveness was benchmarked with our Speed Analyzer.
- Smart Portion, Tier & Diameter Calculator: Scales from 10 to 200 guests across 1 to 5 tiers while computing estimated cake diameter and live preliminary pricing.

- Inscription Styling & AI Preview Engine: 60-character custom message input across 5 font styles and 8 colors feeding into the
/api/generate-cakevisual inspiration pipeline. - Structured WhatsApp Pre-Order Dispatch: Compiles every chosen layer and budget estimate into a formatted WhatsApp brief routed straight to the Serdivan workshop.
