Cake Pricing Calculator for Excel with Inventory Tracker, Bakery Dashboard and Customer Quote

Cost a cake, check ingredient stock and prepare a customer quote in one English Excel workbook.

Cake Quote Kit 2.0 is a self-serve digital download for custom cake makers. It combines pricing, a manual ingredient stock log, a shopping list for the current quote and order history with three editable charts.

WHAT YOU RECEIVE

One ZIP containing:

- Cake-Quote-Kit.xlsx: 12 sheets, including Dashboard, Stock, Stock Log, Shopping List, Orders, Calculator, Customer Quote, Settings, Start Here and three independent worked examples.

- Quick-Start-Guide.pdf: six pages of illustrated instructions.

- README.txt: opening instructions and scope.

PRICE YOUR CAKE

Select Stock IDs and enter the quantities you need. Unit, pack size and current pack price pull from your catalogue. Include your time, packaging, decorations, delivery, overhead and payment fees. Set your target margin or try a manual price. Calculate a requested deposit and prepare a separate customer quote PDF without exposing internal costs.

TRACK INGREDIENT STOCK

Enter opening quantities, purchases, actual usage, waste and adjustments. View on-hand quantities through your chosen reporting date, low-stock alerts and packs to buy to reach your target stock level. Stock is valued using current catalogue pack prices, not FIFO or historical accounting cost.

CHECK WHAT TO BUY

Shopping List compares the current quote with stock on hand. It adds repeated ingredient IDs and calculates shortages and full packs to buy. A quote does not reserve or deduct stock. Record actual production usage manually in Stock Log.

REVIEW ORDERS AND CHARTS

Save each order by copying the capture row and pasting VALUES into history. Update status and actual payments received. The dashboard shows current quote costs, completed revenue and costs by delivery month, and stock status counts. Historical order values stay fixed when catalogue prices change.

CAPACITY

- 50 catalogue ingredients.

- 500 stock-log events.

- 200 historical orders.

Use the prepared rows. Entries outside these ranges are not included in calculations.

FAQ

Q: Will a quote automatically deduct ingredients?

A: No. The shopping list previews the current quote. Record actual Use events manually in Stock Log after production.

Q: Can I use multiple workbook copies as one shared stock system?

A: No. Keep one live master for stock and orders. Archived quote copies do not synchronise.

Q: Why are old sample dates and amounts already entered?

A: They are fictional starter records for learning. The guide lists the input ranges to clear together before live use.

Q: How do I save an order without its costs changing later?

A: Copy Orders A6:I6 and use Paste Special > Values in the next free history row. Do not paste formulas. Update that same row when its status or payments change.

Q: How is stock valued?

A: Quantity on hand multiplied by the current catalogue pack price divided by pack quantity. This is not FIFO or historical accounting valuation.

Q: Does it work in Google Sheets?

A: This listing is for desktop Excel. Other spreadsheet apps have not been verified.

Q: Do you provide custom setup?

A: No. This is a self-serve download with an illustrated guide.
