Costing Tool

Julie’s Cake Costing Tool is a simple-to-use spreadsheet.

In the spreadsheet you will find to sheets.  The first sheet it called the “costing sheet” is where you will enter your recipes.  The second sheet, called the “ingredient reference list” is place where you will list ingredients that you regularly use.  You will also add in the pack size and/or unit of measurement and the current price of the item.

Once you have your personal reference list set up, return to the costing sheet. For each recipe, add a title and select each ingredient from a drop down box in the first column that will be created from your ingredient list.  Enter in the quantity for each recipe (making sure you maintain the units eg grams with grams etc)

The sheet will automatically calculate the value of that quantity for each recipe and total that to give you a cost price for the recipe.

THE BEAUTY OF THE CAKE COSTING TOOL!

If the cost of an ingredient changes, you only need to update it ONCE on the reference list and ALL the recipes that use that ingredient will be updated.  This means that current cost prices are always available at the touch of a button.

Once you have purchased the tool, you will receive links to the Google sheet version AND the Excel version.  See the videos attached for more info on how to use the tools
