Getting more from these captions

Take the photo before the cut
A whole cake with candles lit is the hero shot. Then capture the first slice and the faces around it.
Tag the baker
If a local baker made it, tag them. They often reshare, and it helps them get new orders.
Write the occasion
A caption that names the person or the milestone makes the post feel personal, rather than a generic dessert picture.
