Something to show customers, not just frame.
Every certificate carries a serial number and a QR code. A customer scans it and sees your name, your course and your issue date on our site. You can print it, post it, or put the badge on your packaging.
It is not a government licence — we help you get your FSSAI registration separately. It is proof you were taught food safety and assessed on it, which is what a customer ordering a birthday cake actually wants to know.
The four things nobody teaches you
You can learn a recipe from a video for free. These are the parts that decide whether selling from home actually works.
Mostly women, mostly baking around everything else
School runs, a day job, a family kitchen shared with everyone else in the house. Our members are not people with an empty afternoon and a stand mixer — they are fitting orders into the hours that are left.
Online study on your own schedule, weekly submissions and written mentor feedback. Workshops are mostly online, with recordings included.

No trial, no card, no upgrade prompts
We say this explicitly because most "free" memberships are not. Yours does not expire, we do not ask for a card, and we do not gate the library behind a countdown.
The part members value most is each other
Every city with more than twenty members gets a chapter group. They are run by members, not by us, and what happens in them is genuinely more useful than anything we teach.
Home baker directory
Membership includes a directory listing. Ask admissions for current member listings; the cards below show course examples.
What to ask before you order
We list members, we do not vet every order. Four questions worth asking anyone baking from home, certified or not.
How much notice do you need?
Ask the baker directly about availability, preparation time and collection.
What is in it?
Ask about nuts, eggs, gelatine and alcohol. Certified members are trained to declare allergens without being asked.
How does it travel?
In Indian heat, buttercream and cream cakes need a plan. Ask who carries it and how long it will be out.
Are you FSSAI registered?
FSSAI registration is separate from Home Bakers certification. Ask the baker for their registration details.
Want to be listed here?
Free members get a basic listing. Certification adds the verified badge customers look for.
Home baking is a real business. It just never had a body behind it.
Thousands of people in India sell cakes and breads out of their own kitchens. Most learned from videos, price below cost, and have no way to prove to a customer that their kitchen is clean.
The Association exists to fix those three things: teach the parts nobody teaches, certify hygiene and competence so it can be checked, and list members publicly so customers can find them without paying an aggregator a commission.
We are not a government body and we do not pretend to be one. We are also not a marketplace — we never touch your orders or your money.
What we stand for
Price honestly
Costing and pricing are covered in week five of certification. Business adds a pricing and costing clinic.
Hygiene is not optional
One bad batch damages trust in home baking generally. The food-safety module is the one you cannot skip.
Your customers are yours
The directory sends people to you directly. No orders through us, no cut, no data sold.
Three things worth being clear about
A badge is only worth what we refuse
If everyone passes, the certificate means nothing to a customer, and then it is worth nothing to a member either.
do not pass first time
Almost always on the hygiene module. One free reattempt, and most pass it.
assessors per submission
Your mentor teaches you; a second assessor who has not met you grades the final.
certifications withdrawn
Since 2026, after complaints we investigated and upheld. The listing goes too.
before a refresher
The certificate does not expire, but the food-safety module must be retaken to keep the badge.
The team
Programme, assessment and community roles. Team details: Ask admissions.
Talk to us
A real person answers, usually within a day. If your question is about baking rather than membership, the monthly live session is free and probably faster.

Most questions have a faster answer
Three routes that get you a reply in minutes rather than a day.
No group in your city yet?
Twenty members in a city is enough to open a chapter. If yours is not on the list, write to us and we will find the other bakers near you — there are usually more than you would guess.
