A cake, the prospect's logo iced on top, delivered to the office. Not in the inbox. On the desk.
In an inbox your message disappears. On a desk it sits in plain sight of the whole team.
The cake is the result. Cold email is the control group. That's why ColdCake exists.
If you run a campaign, you fill in one form per month. Everything after that runs through the same system: planning, production, delivery and proof. A single cake you build yourself, at least 48 hours ahead.
On the 1st you fill in who gets a cake and which message goes with it. Deadline the 10th.
You pick the delivery day and the time window. We schedule the bakery and the run.
Fresh, baked to order.
In edible ink on the icing, together with the QR code. Your message sits behind that code. No separate card goes with it.
Hand-delivered in Flanders and Brussels. No couriers.
A photo of the delivered cake.
The QR in the edible ink opens your design in AR: it starts moving on their phone, with your message.
Your cake comes alive on their desk.
Not in their inbox. On their desk.
A cake on someone's desk is the most expensive piece of paid ad space in B2B sales. No spam filter, no unopened email, no tenth follow-up.

The tracking system
From briefing to desk. You track every cake separately.
For each cake, you see whether it's briefed, baked, on its way, or delivered.
No follow-up emails, just a status.
A photo of the delivery, so you know it landed on the right desk.
The photo comes from our own driver, the same person who delivers the cake.
Behind the QR on the cake sits your message and the design that starts moving in AR on their phone.
You can edit the text right up until the cake ships.
See a real exampleMessage, recipient, address and delivery date, per cake.
Ten cakes means ten briefings, not one bulk list.
Choose your delivery day, we plan the bakery and the delivery.
Booked at least 48 hours ahead, in Flanders and Brussels.
Track who replied.
You log it yourself, so you know what the cake delivered.
You don't need an app. In your account, you track every cake: status, briefing, and delivery photo.
Four channels. One still works.
