Cake Pricing Calculator

This prices a cake from what it costs you to make and works out how many people it feeds. Enter the ingredient cost, the hours the whole job takes, your hourly rate, overhead and the margin you want, and it returns the price, the price per serving and what you are really earning an hour. A separate mode takes pan sizes and returns the serving count at the three standard slice sizes, cutting a square or sheet pan on a grid and a round pan by area. The serving counts are geometry, so check a small round against your own cutting before you quote.
