01
Untracked costs hide your real profit
You think it’s £50. After ingredients, supplies and delivery, it’s £12. Cake Aide Pro tracks every cost and shows live margins — green, amber, red.
Most bakers discover they’re underpriced by 30–40%.

Smart inquiry form
Let serious buyers qualify themselves.
Real prices, reference photos, per‑tier choices and delivery costs — all surfaced before a single message lands in your inbox. Eighty percent of time‑wasters never make it through.
Live, honest pricing
Customers self‑qualify against your real numbers — no back‑and‑forth.
Up to 3 reference photos
You see exactly what they want. No “that’s not what I asked for”.
Per‑tier customisation
They build the cake — size, shape, finish, flavours, fillings.
Delivery, calculated
Distance‑based fees added automatically. Full cost, upfront.
Interactive walkthrough
Inquiry to paid order, step by step.
Tap through the five stages every cake passes through in Cake Aide Pro — or let it play itself.
Step 1 of 5 · Day 0 · 2 minutes of your time
A qualified inquiry lands
The customer picks tiers, flavours, finish and delivery distance against your real prices, and adds up to three reference photos. Time‑wasters filter themselves out before your phone buzzes.
The expensive mistakes
Where the money quietly leaks out.
Four leaks that most cake businesses don’t see until they’re fixed.
02
Late payments choke cash flow
You’ve delivered five cakes; you’ve been paid for two. Payment links, status tracking and automatic reminders close the gap.
73% of invoices settle within 24 hours.
03
Forgotten follow‑ups become lost sales
A quote from three weeks ago is now a booking with someone else. Built‑in reminders and birthday alerts turn one‑offs into regulars.
Repeat customers up ~40%.
04
Manual quoting drains the week
Thirty to forty‑five minutes per quote, and most ghost. Let customers build the quote in two minutes — you only respond to the serious ones.
10+ hours back, every week.
