Home bakers can create an e-commerce website with Cococart in minutes
Many Singaporeans have found love in baking amid long hours spent at home during the ‘circuit breaker’ period.
For those who are serious about their craft, “circuit cooking” has become more than a hobby. It was an alternative source of income – a chance to start a business and see it thrive.

Enter Casserole, an e-commerce platform that makes it easy to create an order payment website. Within minutes, your online business is ready to go.
Now you can focus on your cooking without the knead to set the controls manually.
