A calculator tuned for home bakers. Add ingredients, decorations, boards and boxes as materials, put your preparation, baking and decorating hours into labour, and see a price that still leaves your margin after fees.

Costs makers often forget

  • Ingredients across the full recipe, not per slice
  • Decorations: sprinkles, sugar work, edible print
  • Boards, dowels and cake drums
  • Boxes, ribbons and tags
  • Preparation and mise-en-place
  • Baking and cooling
  • Decorating and finishing
  • Cleaning time and consumables
  • Spoilage, test bakes and rejected pieces

A simple worked example

A dozen decorated cookies

If a dozen decorated cookies uses about 5 of ingredients, 1 of packaging and takes 3 hours to bake and decorate at 20 per hour, that is around 66 of direct cost. The calculator turns that into a retail price at your target margin, after any marketplace fees.
