The Cake Decorating Order & Bake Planner
Take the order once instead of on a sticky note, size the pan and batter to your own oven and mixer instead of a guess, price it from your own ingredient cost and time instead of a feeling, and get a stacked order out the door without a dowel count worked out at the kitchen table: a baker's kitchen at-a-glance card, a cake order sheet with an allergen check, a servings and pan planner, a buttercream and fondant quantity sheet, a bake and decorate timeline, a pricing worksheet, a delivery and setup checklist, a food safety sheet, a tool and supply inventory and a budget planner.
- 10 fill-in worksheets, 26 print pages
- 2 filled-in examples to copy the format from
- Companion Excel / Google Sheets tracker with the servings, batter and pricing formulas built in
- Online buyer guide with current prices, by budget tier
Replaces the servings count guessed twice, the buttercream batch made short because the first guess ran out, the dowel count eyeballed at delivery, and the order details texted to yourself and never written down again.
30-day money-back guarantee. Use it all; if it doesn't help, every dollar back.

Who made this
Built by the CakeDecoratingCalc team from the same servings, batter volume, frosting, ganache and tier support formulas the free site's calculators run on, laid out as a workbook to fill in with your own kitchen's real numbers rather than a page to read.

Questions
Does this replace the free calculators on the site?
No. The free site has the calculators, buying guides and reference charts; the kit is where your own orders, pans and prices get written down, dated and reused, plus the pricing tracker and reusable logs the free pages do not carry.
Does it tell me my state's cottage food rules?
No, and it never will. Cottage food registration, licensing and permitted sales channels vary a great deal by state and change over time, so the Pricing Worksheet and Food Safety Sheet both point you to check your own state's rules rather than printing a number that could go stale or be wrong for your state.
Is the pricing worksheet a promise I will make money?
No. It is a worked example using your own ingredient cost, time and overhead. For example, pricing one order correctly instead of underpricing it can cover the cost of the kit; results vary by kitchen, market and order size, and nothing here is a guaranteed income.
Do the servings and batter figures match the free calculators exactly?
Yes. Both come from the same pan area and volume math; the worksheet is where you write down your own pan's result rather than a separate figure.
Printable or fillable on screen?
Both. Print it and write by hand, or open a worksheet PDF in a reader that supports typing and fill it on a tablet or phone.
What if it does not help?
Use the whole kit for 30 days. If it does not help, the refund form on the contact page gets every dollar back, no questions asked. Refund form.
