Do You Bake?

Do You Bake? launched in 2010. The old Direct Sales Aid profile said its two owners wanted natural, easy-to-prepare foods with no preservatives or dyes. It also said they wanted a work-from-home option for parents. The company was based in Sinking Spring, Pennsylvania, near Reading, and in 2014 its seller pages listed a toll-free number, 1-877-533-BAKE.

In 2011 the website described an extensive line of beer breads, scones, biscuits, brownies, seasonings and dip mixes, plus healthy dog treats. By 2015 the company had rebuilt its website, renamed its sellers Ambassadors and said it offered more than 120 products. In January 2015 it launched Crave It, a sister brand of protein, fiber and whole-food products sold by the same Ambassadors. Co-founder Jenn linked the new brand to her own weight loss of more than 100 pounds.

“We are about real food, we are about balance. We are about packing our day with delicious, yummy, satisfying food that is good for us.”

Do You Bake? sold dry mixes and kits that home cooks finished with a few fresh ingredients. The company said its products were hand-packed and made without preservatives, chemicals, dyes or fillers.

• Sweet stuff: brownies, cake and cookie mixes, cupcakes, cheesecake bars and treats such as Canoe Paddles, a cinnamon-sugar fried dough kit.
• Breads: beer breads, quick breads, scones and biscuits.
• Savory meals: skillet, casserole and slow cooker meal kits, soups, macaroni and cheese and power bowls.
• Dips and seasonings: dip mixes, spice blends and salt-free seasonings.
• Drinks and wellness: tea, coffee, drink mixes and Crave It protein and wellness products.
• For pets: mixes for homemade dog treats.

The company offered more than 15 gluten-free products in 2015, while noting its facility was not certified gluten-free. Later it added keto, plant-based and "Health + Wellness" ranges. In 2021 its shop priced items in US and Canadian dollars, with many mixes around $8 to $14. Recipe ideas were a big part of the brand; you can still see our Do You Bake? recipes page.

Sellers were first called Consultants and, from about 2014, Ambassadors. They sold at home parties, craft shows and vendor events, through personal websites, and through charity fundraisers. Hosts did not need to stock anything: the company shipped party orders to the host, who handed them out to guests.

Joining

The old Direct Sales Aid profile said there were usually two kits, one with a few products and supplies and a full party kit, plus monthly promotions. By 2015 the company offered three ways to join. New Ambassadors could pick a kit, or sign up free with a coupon for 50% off one product order worth up to $400 retail. A personal website was free for three months, then $10 every four months. There was no required inventory or autoship.

Pay

Around 2011, Consultants earned 25% on parties under $200, 35% on parties over $200 and 20% on website sales, according to the old Direct Sales Aid profile. Team commissions of up to 12% ran across six levels. Consultants needed $200 in sales each quarter to stay active. By 2015 the company advertised commissions of up to 37% on personal sales, plus bonuses and awards. Hosts earned rewards starting at 10% of party sales and rising to 15%.

Do You Bake? slowed down well before it went dark. From at least September 2018, its homepage carried the line “Our Waiting List to Join our Ambassador Team is Now Open”. That suggests sign-ups were no longer open in the usual way, although the shop still offered an Ambassador sign-up in January 2021. The online shop kept selling, and a December 8, 2023 capture showed seasonal products, keto and wellness lines.

By April 10, 2024, shop.doyoubake.com showed only a parked domain page, and the main doyoubake.com address did the same by July 2024. We found no closure announcement or stated reason. The doyoubake.com address now shows an unrelated blog under the old name, with gambling links, so it is not the company. On October 2, 2026 the shop.doyoubake.com address no longer existed.

Former sellers cannot order new products. If you miss easy bake-at-home mixes from a party, look at live companies such as Tastefully Simple or Pampered Chef. Go back to our Direct Sales Aid home page to search for more.
