Do you think you are undercharging for your cakes? When a customer asks you to quote for a cake, how do you work it all out? Do you stumble on answering cake pricing questions?

How much should I charge for my cakes and cupcakes?
How do I calculate the ingredients cost?
What about the extra costings like boards, boxes and baking paper?
How much should I charge for baking time, or delivery?
And what about MY time?
I'm baking for a friend, what will it cost me?
How do I calculate a cake quote for a large order, quickly, if a customer is on the phone asking?

Cost a Cake Pro can answer ALL these questions for you.

Cost a Cake Pro is an invaluable business tool for anyone who bakes cakes, cupcakes, pastries, cookies, cake pops or any other edible creation or food. It was created by the team at The Cake Makery to assist home and professional bakers with this often time consuming task.

With Cost a Cake Pro you can add any ingredient to your pantry, and you can add any additional item to the extras section, cake boards, cake boxes, ribbon, moulds used, and other such non edible expenditures.

Once your pantry has all the things you regularly bake with, creating your favourite and most used recipes is very quick as you simply add in all the ingredients and their amounts. Your recipes are stored, and from here you can create detailed and accurate quotes for your customers.

Here are a few of our best features:

* Choose you own currency - We automatically support ALL worldwide currencies from £ to $ to Euro or Yen.

* Cost a Cake Pro is really easy to use, add and edit your ingredients and recipes in a few clicks, swipe left or right to delete anything. Designed with ease of use, speed and simplicity in mind.

* Add, edit and delete ingredients in your Pantry. Ingredients can be anything that you can buy in your local supermarket! Yes, you can add in regular food items, such as all the ingredients for your smoothies and juicing or work out the cost of your family dinners.

* You can add ingredients in:

Cups
Grams
Ounces
Fluid ounces
Litres
Millilitres
Centimetres
Meters
Inches
By name for single items or things that come as a pack like 12 eggs or 6 Apples.

* Pantry includes an Extras store - here you can add anything that is inedible, such as:

Baking paper
Ribbon for your cake boards
Cake Boards and cake drums
Cupcake Boxes
Cake Boxes
Florist wire, and tape
Oven times for baking cost
Your delivery cost per mile

* Once you have added your ingredients - you can use them to create individual recipes, with a few clicks you select the ingredient that you want to add, enter the amount you need and add it in. You can also add extras at this point so cupcake recipes can include your cases, and big cakes can include baking paper as part of the recipe as it's always used.

* Once you have created recipes, you can build customer quotes. You simply select the recipes that you will use to make the cake for your order, add them in (as many times as you need - helpful if you have a recipe for 12 cupcakes and you have to make 96!) then add in any extras such as boxes and ribbon and your estimated time on that order and you are done. You get a price that adds all this up, so you can see clearly what you need to charge to ensure you are not out of pocket. Yes it really is that easy!

Pricing your cakes and cupcakes has never been easier with Cost A Cake Pro, the #1 Food & Drink app, only from The Cake Makery.

Doesn’t save

I’ve downloaded this app on both my iPhone and iPad. After spending 2 hours inputting pantry, recipes and extras on my iPad, it doesn’t copy over to the phone app

Deleted all of my recipes

I’d been using this app for a while and it seemed to be working well. I had accrued a lot of recipes and ingredients on the app as well as saved quotes. I came to retrieve a quote and found that it had deleted everything, to say I wasn’t happy is an understatement! Tried to contact them but no response !

Was brilliant but now doesn’t work

I bought this app when it 1st came out. It was brilliant and helped save loads of time. It now closes the app every time you click of quotes. I’ve tried emailing and sending messages via messenger (they are read) but I’ve been ignored. Don’t waste your money

A basic app that could be a lot better

For what I paid for the app I think it’s over rated. I wanted a one off payment app rather than a subscription based costing app and I thought this would do the job. I needed it to be a time saver for when it’s my admin days and to help me keep track of my recipes and costs, but also invoices etc. I spent a good hour going through everything and I have to say this app is so basic and long winded, that I am disappointed. There isn't a help section on how to use the app for one. You have to manually input all of the ingredients and costs per gram or kg which is fine to a degree but sooo long winded. You only have the option of putting how much you want per hour in settings and that’s it. It doesn’t even incorporate that into your costs from what I could tell. When you get round to creating a recipe the ingredients list is a scroll barrel you have to scroll through the whole list if you want to add something such as olives or sugar … it will take you a while. The ability to jump to the ingredient or letter would be a great addition. You will also have to input your extras such as bake time, shop time, utilities etc and you will need to work these out for yourself. Maybe a guide to, would help? I expected more from the app, my mistake. I had previously used an app called cakeulater but it is no longer available by the original creators. I had hoped there was the option of inputting a % of profit and a break down of costs per unit and whole costs. Invoice option and client details, but no. I could go on more but I won’t. I hope the developers take on board the customer reviews and update their app to actually reflect its user base requirements. I am disappointed and so I couldn’t recommend to other users.

Frustrating

It keeps on crashing and does update in middle of creating a quote. Now I have tried to create this one quote from late 3 hours but it just keeps on crashing. For a paid app this is extremely unacceptable. I really want a refund. It had potential only if it worked smoothly. Only giving 1 star because there isn’t an option for zero stars. Very disappointed, refund me please .

App keeps closing when open quotes

Hi I’ve tried contacting through email, which comes back not known... app is amazing but keeps closing every time I click onto my quotes... please help!?

So far so good

I got this app about 2-3weeks avó and so far I am loving it and it is making my life easier on pricing my cakes! Thank you 🥰

Not fit for purpose

Having paid for this app, I’m very disappointed. I input a quote, add the relevant recipes and extras, it won’t show what’s been added and also won’t save it. Makes the app totally useless

Rubbish

App keeps crashing whenever i try to make a quote, but hopefully it will be sorted as app itself is quite good

Better before the update

This app has been down for some time while waiting for the update. The update didn’t transfer my previous details so I have had to do it all again, very time consuming. It’s not as smooth to work as the last version. I have decided to delete and carry on using excel which is far superior.
