Price your cakes properly
Every single time.
Finally…
A beautiful, easy-to-use spreadsheet that calculates your costs, profit and selling price automatically. Built specifically for cake makers.
Sound familiar?
You've spent hours on a cake. The flowers were hand-piped, the ganache was perfect, the finishing took longer than expected — and then when it came to the price, you just… guessed.
Maybe you based it on what others charge. Maybe you rounded up and hoped for the best. Maybe you charged less than you wanted to because you weren't sure you were worth more.
The truth is, most cake makers aren't undercharging because they don't value their work.
They're undercharging because they don't have a clear, reliable way to know what their cakes actually cost to make.
That's exactly what this calculator fixes.
Introducing the Cake Pricing Calculator
A done-for-you Google Sheets and Excel spreadsheet that takes the guesswork out of pricing — completely.
You add your ingredients, your time, your packaging and overheads. The calculator does the rest — working out your total cost, suggesting a selling price based on your target profit margin, and showing you exactly what you'll make on every cake.
No formulas to write. No spreadsheet knowledge needed. Just open it, fill it in, and price with confidence.
Here's everything that's included
🧁 Recipe Cost Calculator
Add your ingredients, packaging, labour and overhead costs for each recipe. Your total cost calculates automatically.
📋 Master Ingredients List
Enter each ingredient once with its pack size and price. Every time you use it in a recipe, the cost per unit fills in automatically. No more working it out by hand.

📐 Cake Size Guide
Not sure how much fondant you need for a 10 inch round? How many portions does a 6+8+10 inch three-tier serve? It's all in there — fondant weights, ganache quantities and portion guides by tier size.

This is for you if…
You make celebration or wedding cakes and want to know you're charging enough
You've been guessing your prices and want something more reliable
You want to understand your actual profit — not just your revenue
You're just starting out and want to get your pricing right from the beginning
You've been in business a while but never properly calculated your costs
Whether you make tiered cakes, cupcakes, celebration cakes or bespoke wedding cakes — this calculator works for all of it.
You might be thinking…
"I'm not good with spreadsheets"
You don't need to be. Everything is set up for you. You just fill in the white boxes — the rest is automatic. If you can type a number, you can use this.
"I already have a pricing method"
If your current method means you know exactly what every cake costs to make, what your profit margin is on every order, and what you'd need to charge to hit your income goals — brilliant. But if there's any doubt, this will show you the full picture.
"Is it really worth getting?"
If this calculator helps you charge just £5 more per cake, it pays for itself on the very first order. Most cake makers find they've been undercharging by much more than that once they see their real costs laid out.
