The reality for bakers
You know how to bake.
But do you know
what to charge?
Ingredient prices change. Labor takes time. Packaging, electricity and other costs add up. Its easy to lose track and even easier to underprice your bakes.
Take control of your pricing
Stop losing money
on underpriced orders.
Calculate the true cost of every recipe by including ingredient prices, labor, packaging, overhead, and other baking costs. See your total recipe cost and profit margin before setting a price, so you can charge enough to make every bake profitable.
More baking. Less calculating.
Stop doing the math.
Cups to grams to tablespoons… no more mental math. CakeSheet converts measurements, scales recipes, and calculates ingredient costs in seconds.

The order’s in there somewhere — an Instagram DM, a Facebook message, a text from her mom. It’s midnight and you’re scrolling, just to be sure you got the date right.

Enjoying the beta?
Buy me a coffeeStraight answers to the questions we hear most.
Is it really free?
Yes — every feature is free during our open beta. Unlimited recipes, ingredients, and orders. No credit card, no catch.
Will it stay free?
The beta is free while we build. Paid plans will come eventually, but beta users become founding members with a permanent discount, you'll get plenty of notice, and your data is always yours to take with you. No "free forever" bait-and-switch.
Do I need to install anything?
No. It runs in your web browser on your phone, tablet, or computer — nothing to download or update. If you can open this page, you can use it.
Does it work with cups and ounces?
Yes — it works in ounces and pounds as well as cups, tablespoons, and teaspoons, alongside grams, kilograms, milliliters, and liters. You can also set your own conversion per ingredient, like "1 cup of flour = 120 g," so costs stay accurate.
Is my customer data private?
Your recipes and customer details are yours. We don't sell your data, we don't run ads, and we don't use tracking cookies. You're always free to take your data with you or delete it.
Can it help me price for my state's cottage food rules?
The app helps you know your true costs — ingredient cost for every recipe, plus your labor and packaging on each order — and set prices that actually turn a profit. The free calculator covers the ingredient half, with no signup. Neither gives legal advice, though: licensing and labeling rules vary by state, so check your state's cottage food law for those.
What happens to my data if I stop using it?
Your recipes, ingredients, and orders stay yours. You can permanently delete your account and everything in it anytime from Settings → Account — gone for good, not just hidden. Want a copy first? Email us before you go.
