Why pricing by feel costs you money
Most home bakers set prices by looking at what other people charge, then adjusting until the number feels acceptable. That works until an order is unusually labor-heavy, or an ingredient price moves, or a custom request needs three extra hours of decorating. Without a cost baseline you cannot tell a good order from a bad one, so the busiest months can produce the least profit.
These tools start from your own numbers: what you actually paid, how much the recipe actually uses, and how long the work actually takes. Once those are written down, a price stops being a guess and becomes a decision you can explain to a customer without flinching.
