The Cake Order Confirmation Sheet
One page you fill in during the call and send back to the customer so the date, the cake and the money all say the same thing.

Resources for Custom Cake Bakers
Free tools and fair comparisons for shops that sell dates, servings and sugar work rather than items already sitting in a case.
Everything here is built for the same reader: a baker who takes custom orders and needs the date, the spec, the allergens and the money to survive the trip from a phone call to Saturday morning. The calculators price a cake and test a week, the comparisons put TieredOrders honestly beside the other tools bakers evaluate, and the confirmation sheet is a working document you can print today.
Alongside these sits The Cake Board, our magazine for American bakers taking custom orders one date at a time, covering costing, finishes, delivery and the food rules that apply to a cake sold to be eaten by a hundred wedding guests.

How TieredOrders Compares With Other Cake Order Tools

About
Who writes all of this
The author page behind The Cake Board, covering who writes these cake costing and delivery guides, how the serving counts and pricing figures are checked, and where to send a correction.
The cake material is free, the order desk is the next step
Print the confirmation sheet, run the calculators and read The Cake Board for as long as they keep earning their keep. The moment the notebook by the phone stops holding every event date, serving count and allergen answer, TieredOrders is that same material turned into an intake form and a production calendar for the bake, finish and delivery days. A short demo shows how the pieces sit together.
