Ingredients

Count only what the cake uses — not the whole bag. Start typing to see typical prices — tweak them to what you actually paid.

Ingredients so far: $0.00

Cake size

A standard 8-inch round serves about 24 party slices.

Your time

Working for free is the #1 pricing mistake. Custom bakers typically pay themselves $18–30/hr.

Boards, boxes & overhead

Boards, boxes, toppers, delivery…

Covers oven power, tool wear, and the flour that hits the floor. 10–15% is typical.

Profit margin
20%

Profit isn’t greed — it’s what keeps your bakery baking. 20% is a healthy start.

Common questions

How much should I charge for a cake?

Add up your ingredients, your hours × an honest hourly rate, packaging and overhead — then put a profit margin on top. Custom cakes typically land between $3 and $8 per serving in the US (R$ 8–25 in Brazil). The calculator above does the math for you, live.

How is this different from bakery management apps?

Suites like BakeProfit manage orders, inventory and storefronts — behind an account and a subscription. Price of Cake does one thing perfectly: it tells you what to charge, in under a minute, with no signup, and Pro costs $12 once. See the full comparison.

Is Price of Cake really free?

Yes — the full calculator is free forever, no account. Pro ($12 once, not a subscription) adds client-ready PDF quotes, ingredient price memory and unlimited saved recipes.
