Bake Diary shut down.
Your next pricing tool shouldn't be able to.
In May 2025, Bake Diary — the recipe costing app thousands of home bakers relied on at €6.95/month — closed its doors. Subscriptions ended, and so did access. If you're still looking for a replacement, here's a different way to think about it.
The lesson isn't "pick a better app." It's "pick an app that can't disappear." Price of Cake runs 100% in your browser: there is no server to shut down, no company database holding your recipes, no monthly bill funding infrastructure. If we vanished tomorrow, the page in your browser would keep working.
What you actually needed from Bake Diary
Most bakers used Bake Diary for one core job: working out what a cake truly costs, and what to charge for it. That's exactly what Price of Cake does — with live math you can defend to a client:
- Ingredients — only what the cake uses, with typical price suggestions as you type
- Your time — hours × an honest hourly rate, because working for free isn't a business
- Overhead & packaging — the oven power, the boards, the boxes
- Profit margin — on top, where it belongs
- Client-ready PDF quotes (Pro) — with your business name, no watermark
