Price a cake
Run the numbers on servings, ingredients, labor, and margin. Get a price you can actually quote — not a number you pulled from memory.
Calculate my cake priceStop guessing prices in DMs and hoping the date sticks.
Most home bakers are quoting from memory, undercharging by $40–80 a cake, and tracking orders in texts. Here's the system that fixes it.
Pick where you're stuck.
Every baker hits one of three walls: no idea what to charge, quotes that don't land, orders scattered across texts and memory. Start with yours.
Send better quotes
Clients ghost. Deposits get lost. The quote and deposit templates remove the confusion before the order even gets booked.
View the quote resourcesOrganize orders
CakePricr saves the quote, tracks the deposit, and turns accepted orders into a record you can actually find — without digging through DMs.
Try CakePricrQuote it. Track it. Book it. All in one place.
No recipe database. No separate spreadsheet. CakePricr connects the price to the quote, the quote to the deposit, and the deposit to the order.

What Cake Business Co. actually helps with.
This site is built around the business moments that happen after someone asks for a cake and before the order is finished.
Inquiry to price
Collect the details that affect the quote: event date, servings, design, flavor, delivery, rush timing, and budget fit.
See order form fieldsPrice to quote
Turn the math into a client-ready quote with scope, total, deposit, balance due date, expiration, and next steps.
Use quote templateQuote to order
After the client accepts, track deposit status, balance reminders, production notes, pickup or delivery, and profit review.
See order workflowWho this is for.
Cake Business Co. is for home bakers, cottage bakers, custom cake makers, and small bakery owners who already get cake inquiries or are preparing to take paid custom orders. The focus is not recipes. The focus is the operational layer that decides whether a cake order becomes priced, quoted, deposited, organized, and profitable.
If you are guessing prices in DMs, holding dates without deposits, copying details between forms and spreadsheets, or wondering whether your last order actually made money, start here. Use a guide or template if the workflow is still new. Move into CakePricr when the same quoting and tracking work keeps repeating.
Use the site by workflow stage.
The fastest path is to choose the page that matches the order problem in front of you, then move to the next step only when the order is ready.
Before the quote
Use order form fields and pricing guides when the client has not given enough detail to calculate a real price.
Collect order detailsDuring the quote
Use calculators and quote templates when you know the design, servings, delivery plan, deposit, and balance terms.
Calculate the quoteAfter acceptance
Use deposit, reminder, tracker, and profit-review resources to keep the order organized after the client says yes.

The library will grow around the same problems CakePricr solves: pricing, quoting, deposits, client communication, and repeatable order systems.

Help shape the Cake Business Co. and CakePricr workflow as the ecosystem grows.
A simple example.
A client asks for a two-tier birthday cake for 45 servings. Instead of replying with a guess, collect the event details, price the cake using labor and materials, send a quote with deposit terms, and only mark the date booked after payment is received.
That is the authority lane for this site: not prettier cakes, but cleaner business decisions around the cakes people are already asking for.

The working rule.
If a page, template, or tool does not help a baker make the next order clearer, it does not belong at the center of this site. The core loop is always the same: collect the details, calculate the price, send the quote, collect the deposit, track the balance, complete the order, and learn from the result.
That is how Cake Business Co. builds authority in this niche: by helping cake sellers make the business side repeatable, not by publishing broad bakery advice that never reaches the quote.
Built from the business side of custom cake selling.
Cake Business Co. is not here to teach decorating techniques or pretend every baker should run the same business. The focus is the practical layer underneath the work: price confidently, quote clearly, collect deposits, and keep the order details where you can find them.
As CakePricr grows, this hub will collect guides, templates, examples, and real-world lessons from bakers turning custom cake orders into a more organized business.
