About Cost A Cake Pro
How much should I charge for my cakes and cupcakes?
How do I work out what the ingredients cost?
What about the extra things like boards, boxes and baking paper?
How much should I charge for baking times, or delivery?
And what about MY time?
I'm baking for a friend, what will it cost me?
How do I work all this out, quickly and hassle free?
We have answered ALL these questions for you.
Cost a Cake Pro is for anyone who bakes cakes, cupcakes, pastries, cookies, cake pops or any other edible creation that you sell to your customers.
It was created by the team at The Cake Makery to answer the one question we are asked almost daily - How much do I charge for my cakes?
With Cost a Cake Pro you can add ANY ingredient to your pantry, and you can add any additional item to the extras section, boards, boxes, ribbon, bling, and other such non edible expenditures.
Then you use your saved ingredients to create your favourite and most used recipes, and from here you can create detailed and accurate quotes for the basic costs of your cakes.
Here are a few of our best features:
* Choose you own currency - We support ALL worldwide currencies from £ to $ to Euro or Yen, just enter your own in settings.
* 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 and simplicity in mind.

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.

* Once you have created recipes, you can build 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.

Its a good tool for bakers. Specially the beginners. But the fonts are too big. When we want to update our pantry.. I can barely see what I type. Other than that. I Love this app! Please make the update.. maybe there is a setting where we can adjust the fonts ourself. I knw this problem only happens on smartphones. Was ok on tablet. Plss .. plss.. look into it. Many thanks.

Love the app and would give 5 star as its so helpful for my pricing and quotes but you can't save to anything. Have changed devices and I have to manually re add everything as it doesn't come over on multiple devices. Is going to take me hours so not happyy. Pls help and get this fixed.

This is a nice app. Few things I would approve on are, adding tsp and tbls measurements. Also in the recipie section, add an area so I can write my recipe directions. Other then that it has helped alot!

Very user friendly and precise... for the first time I can actually determine my actual cost of a cake!! Spend 1 day only to allocate all my prices based on current store prices, and now everything is a breeze!! To update price increases are easy and it automatically adjust my cost of recipes.

Needs a Few Tweaks A useful app but not quite there yet. Like other reviewers, the font is too big when entering pantry items. I have to rely on predictive text to see what I'm entering. Some suggested improvements: - ability to edit recipe name - ability to edit pantry item names - ability to duplicate recipes for variations. At the moment I do this using quotes, using the basic recipe then adding extra ingredients. - ability to sync to other devices

I have various devices and I have to update each one individually. Should be able to sync to own devices via account & password. I would pay more for the app if this was possible. I have already paid 3 times when I change my device. Otherwise a great app. I have sent messages via fb but never get a reply

Could be a 5 star if, one could make canges to recipe title. And other comments below, i.e. font size, tsp, tbsp measuring. Also that the back space doesn't jump 2 spaces, this is just annoying. Reduced rating to 1 star. After 6 months trying to communicate with developers about above said problems, with no responce from them. Not even via e-mail. Seems that they just picket the money & forgets about the user. Shame on you

But there are a lot of formatting problems :( it is so close to being the most useful app on my phone e but some of the kinks in it make it almost unusable. .. I wish they would just give it a few much needed updates!

Such a shame. The tool is a great idea but doesn't work because the fonts are so big you can't click on any buttons or read anything.

I love the idea of this app and it could be fantastic, but the font size is too large for the boxes on my phone and the back button exits the app instead of going back a page which makes its use frustrating. There's not been an update in 3 years so it looks like the app's been abandoned.

I have to agree with the other reviewers in saying that the writing font is too large. This app also needs a good conversion tool. Also needs measurement in teaspoons, tablespoon. This could really be a good app if these improvements were made. Without these improvements its just a pain to use.

Allows you to see at a glance what your costs are, including your time, decorations, and gift wrapping expenses. Once you've entered your ingredients and extras, it's very easy to use

Pros: easy to use. Nice set up. Helpful calculator that adds everything for you. Cons: wish there was a large selection of preloaded pantry list so you wouldn't have to load each entry manually...also wish tablespoons and teaspoon is a measurement option. Other than that a great app.

Hard to use, I am in us and usually don't measure in grams. It won't let me change it and I hate doing conversions. Have not been able to price one completely yet without getting frustrated and giving up. Want my money back.

Font is too big!!! Cannot see what you are typing. Geared more for European bakers. Conversions to American measurements is tedious Difficult to navigate. Hasn't been updated since 2013. App creator is just collecting money.

It's a really good app, and I'm extremely happy that I bought it, but it's true. The font size is way too big and it's quite hard to see what I type in. I usually have to type really slowly, letter by letter so that I get the spelling right. Other than that, it's a wonderful app!

A great app but unable to backup to my knowledge. So far I have lost the content three times and all the estimates I had done so far. Also not able to access from different devices. I'd appreciate help as I really like the app. Adding photos would also be cool. And being able to change the title in the recipes.
