Cake Pricing and Capacity Calculators

Run the numbers on a quote or on a whole week of orders before you promise a date over the phone.

Both calculators come out of the same two questions bakers ask most: is this cake priced properly, and can I physically finish it by Saturday. Nothing here needs an account, and the defaults are set from realistic small shop figures so the page shows a sensible answer before you touch a single field.

Use the price builder when an inquiry arrives and the capacity planner on Monday when the week's book is set. Between them they cover the two ways a custom cake order goes wrong: sold too cheap, or promised on a date that was already full.

Why the cake calculators are open with no sign up

Every custom cake baker already does this arithmetic by hand, usually in pencil on the back of a bake sheet while the caller is still talking. Guest count divided into a tier plan, butter and flour and board and dowels costed down to a price per serving, crumb coat and paneling hours multiplied across a Friday bench, mileage to a barn venue doubled for the empty return leg. None of that needs an account to be worth doing, so both calculators sit open here with no form in front of them and nothing to confirm by email.

They earn their place even if you never speak to us. Run the price builder over last month's three tier wedding cake and you will see what fourteen hours of sugar flowers actually returned per bench hour. Run the week planner before you promise a Saturday and you will know whether a bake, a fill, three finished tiers and a cross town setup still fit in the hours left. A baker who leaves this page quoting differently has got the value of it, and TieredOrders is only the place those same serving and finishing rules stop being rewritten for every inquiry.

Turn these figures into rules the order form reads

Between them the two calculators hand you a price per serving and an honest count of the finishing hours a week can hold. TieredOrders keeps those same rules on the intake form, so tiers, finish and delivery miles build the quote while the customer is still describing the cake they saw online.
