Cake Cost Calculator - Cakey

Stop guessing what to charge for your cakes. Cakey is the cake pricing calculator for home bakers: it works out what every cake, cupcake and cookie batch costs you to make, and shows the real profit you earn on each one.

Most home bakers price by feel. They add up the ingredients roughly, double it and hope. Then butter goes up, the recipe changes, or a customer asks for a bigger size, and the price that used to work is quietly losing money. Cakey gives you the real numbers in seconds, so every quote is based on facts, not guesswork.

🎂 WHAT EVERY RECIPE SHOWS YOU
Add your ingredients and your selling price. Cakey instantly calculates:
- Total ingredient cost for the recipe
- Your selling price and profit in money
- Profit rate as a percentage
- Cost, price and profit per slice, piece, jar, kilogram or pound
- Hands-on time, shown right next to your profit

📏 SELL IT YOUR WAY
Choose the unit you sell in: slices, pieces, jars, kilograms, pounds and more. Pick how many slices or pieces a cake makes, and Cakey shows the cost and price for each one. Perfect for pricing a whole cake, a dozen cupcakes, a cookie box or cheesecake by the slice.

🧈 BUILD YOUR INGREDIENT LIBRARY ONCE
Enter flour, butter, sugar, eggs and cream once with the price you actually pay. Every recipe that uses them stays up to date. When your supplier raises the price of butter, change it in one place and every recipe cost is recalculated. No spreadsheets, no rebuilding recipes from scratch.

📊 SEE YOUR WHOLE MENU AT A GLANCE
Your home screen shows your average profit rate across every recipe. Sort and filter your recipes to see which bakes earn well and which need a price increase. Often the showstopper cake you're proudest of is the one paying you least, while the simple cookie box is quietly your best seller.

⏱️ IS THIS ORDER WORTH YOUR TIME?
A three-tier cake with $15 of ingredients that sells for $200 looks like an incredible margin, until you remember it took you a whole day. Cakey shows the hands-on time on every recipe card, right beside the profit, so you can see at a glance whether an order is really worth making before you quote it.

💡 HOW MUCH SHOULD I CHARGE FOR A CAKE?
It's the question every baker asks, and there's no single answer, because your price depends on your ingredients, your recipe and how you sell. Cakey gives you your own answer: enter what goes into a recipe, try a price, and see your cost per slice and profit rate change instantly until the numbers feel right.

Tip: boxes, boards, cupcake liners and ribbons cost money too. Add them to a recipe just like an ingredient and they're counted in your cost.
