Cake business coaching and support for cake designers who are done with the ‘hobby baker’ mindset and are ready for real business growth.
✔️ You love making cakes - but running a cake business? That's a whole different ballgame!
✔️ You’re saying yes to orders you know you’re undercharging for.
✔️ You’re making designs that don’t excite you - because any cake is better than none.
✔️ You’re missing out on time with family and friends because you can’t afford to turn work down.
✔️ You feel like you’re always working but not moving forwards.
✔️ You know you’re good enough, but why isn’t it enough?
✔️ You can see other cake makers living the life you want. You just don't know how to get there (yet!).
If you’re ready to leave all that behind…
Here's how I can help you...

This cake pricing spreadsheet will save you so much time in the long run. It will calculate the cost all of your cakes and bakes accurately and effectively. It it the ULTIMATE spreadsheet for pricing your cakes with ease.
This is what it can do:
Cost 30 cake flavours in sizes 4”-14” (all editable for your own cake flavours and recipes)
Cost 20 homemade cake fillings e.g. American buttercream, Swiss meringue buttercream, lemon curd etc (all completely editable for your own fillings and recipes)
Cost 32 other bakes e.g. macarons, cookies, brownies, cupcakes etc (all editable for your own bakes and recipes)
It includes a % utilities costs on all of your recipes and this amount is fully editable for your own utility costs
It will give you batch costs and unit costs for all of your cake fillings so you can easily compare pricing of the different types of fillings
It will give you batch costs and unit costs of all of your other bakes which will help with pricing certain amounts for orders e.g. 12 macarons or 25 cookies.
You can edit all of the ingredients so if you are a gluten free or vegan baker, this will work for you too
There is a notes page at the beginning of the spreadsheet to explain how it all works and what to do
Once the spreadsheet has been completed, you can print one page summary sheets for all of your cake flavours, cake fillings and other bakes so you can quickly and easily compare the costs of each cake and bake you make.
These summary sheets can be printed off periodically for you to monitor cost increases throughout the year.
It is easy to complete as all formulas are locked and hidden and you can only fill in the parts you need to - you can’t make a mistake or mess it up!
This is for you if:
You want to properly work out the costs of your cakes for your business.
You want to really understand the costs of your cakes
You want to get your pricing right! Understanding your costs is key for this.
This is not for you if:
You are looking for a completely ‘done for you’ pricing spreadsheet. You will need to spend time inputting all of the ingredient information for your own recipes initially, but once this is done, you will never need to do it again
You don't care what your cakes cost and don’t want to know
You want to just pluck a figure out of the air for your cake prices!
The spreadsheet will be sent to you digitally once the order is placed. The download link expires in 24 hours so please download the file to your own computer once it comes through. It has been created on Microsoft Excel, so I can’t provide any guarantee it will work seamlessly on other platforms that may say they are compatible with Excel files, so please bear this in mind before purchasing.
I have put a huge amount of work into this spreadsheet for you to make it the best it can be and give you all of the information you need to run a profitable and successful cake business. I am confident you will love it, just as much as I do!
You will receive a PDF file digitally once the order is placed. The download link expires in 24 hours so please download the file to your own computer once it comes through. The links to all of the products are on the PDF file.
Please save a copy of the file to your computer so you can use and edit it yourself.
Please do not share the link to this product with anyone else. It is only for sole use by yourself. It is not to be replicated and sold as your own.
There are NO REFUNDS once this has been purchased as it is an instant download.

Keep track of the exact financial picture of your cake business every month including planning and saving for your tax payment and your yearly tax return.
View your monthly and yearly - fixed and variable expenses, your salary, your gross profit, your gross profit margin, your retained profit and how much you need to save for tax.
A video tutorial is included about how to use the planner.
Please note, this spreadsheet is for SOLE TRADERS not limited companies. If you are a limited company, I hope to release a version for you soon but this version will not give you the accurate figures you need to plan for tax.
This has been set up for UK businesses but you can change the tax free amounts and tax percentages to suit your own country if you are outside of the UK. You will receive two versions of the spreadsheet - April - March for UK businesses and January - December for most businesses outside of the UK. The currency is set to £ but just assume it is your own currency if not UK pounds.
If you want to keep a close eye on how your business is truly performing and carefully plan for tax, this is the tool you need. It has been verified by an accountant (Rachel at Account-Ant) that it gives the correct tax figure for sole trader businesses in the UK.
You will receive the file digitally once the order is placed. The download link expires in 24 hours so please download the file to your own computer once it comes through.

Make sure you have all bases covered with my editable full bundle of T&Cs. For wedding cakes, celebration cakes and cake stand/display item hire.
You will receive a comprehensive (15 A4 pages - all T&Cs are on one document) editable Word document that you can amend to suit your own business. Anything highlighted in yellow needs to be changed to match your business and anything else can be edited or deleted to suit. Please make sure my business name is completely removed from the document before you send it to your clients - that doesn’t look professional for me or you.
The wedding cake T&Cs (7 pages) cover; consultations, booking fees, payment schedules, alterations to orders, collection/delivery of cakes, allergens/dietary requirements, publication and promotional rights, cancellations, refunds and changes of date, complaints and COVID 19 restrictions.
The celebration cake T&Cs (6 pages) cover; booking process, booking fees, payment schedules, cake details, alterations to orders, collection/delivery of cakes, allergens/dietary requirements, publication and promotional rights, cancellations, refunds and changes of date, complaints and COVID 19 restrictions.
The display item hire T&Cs (2 pages) cover; hire conditions, deposits, hire charges, late return, loss or damage, publication and promotional rights, cancellations and refunds.
Not having T&Cs makes your business vunerable - it’s like a football match without any rules!
It will not only make you look more professional to have them in place, but it will give your customers confidence and peace of mind too.
You can add your own logo and business name to the file. I would them recommend saving it as a PDF which you can upload to your website and send out with every booking form. You do not have to have T&Cs signed to be legally binding but you do have to explicitly tell your customers to read them and make sure they are happy to agree to them.
If you are ever faced with a problem - go back to your T&Cs first.
It is always worth checking everything is up to date on your T&Cs every 6 months and make sure you send your clients the most up to date version as they can only be bound by the T&Cs they agreed to when booking. That’s why emailing them is the best idea as you have a paper trail and proof you sent them and they agreed to them.
The download link will expire 24 hours after it is first opened so please make sure you save it to your own computer to come back to later.
This file is for your personal and sole use. Please do not share these T&Cs with anyone else or try to sell them as your own. Thank you.
There are NO REFUNDS once this has been purchased as it is an instant download.
The price is inclusive of any VAT.
You can also get my FREE cake pricing calculator tool. Make sure your cake prices stack up - that you’re charging enough money to pay yourself and pay your business - and that you’re making enough profit on your cakes.
This free tool guarantees you make a profit on your cakes - every time!
