We Know the Baking Life

You pour your heart into every creation.

The early mornings mixing batter. The late nights decorating cakes. The stress of rush orders. The joy when customers love your work.

But here's the hard truth: passion doesn't pay the bills. PROFIT does.

And too many bakers work incredibly hard... for almost nothing.

The Problem

The Baker's Pricing Struggle

"Ang mahal naman niyan!" — So you lower your price. And lower it again. Until you're earning P20/hour for skilled work.

You counted flour, sugar, butter... but forgot specialty toppings, boxes, ribbons, electricity, and the 4 hours you spent decorating.

Customer asks: "How much for a 3-tier wedding cake?" You freeze. You guess. You probably undercharge.

The Real Problem

You're not running a business. You're running a charity. Because you don't KNOW your costs. You just hope you're making money.

Real Baker Examples

Maria's Chocolate Cupcakes (12 pieces)

BEFORE iCost:

"Siguro P15 per cupcake ang cost... I'll sell at P35"

Thought profit: P20 each

AFTER iCost:

Ingredients: P148 (P12.33 each)
Packaging: P30 (P2.50 each)
Utilities: P18 (P1.50 each)
Labor (2 hrs): P100 (P8.33 each)
REAL cost: P24.66 each
Sell at P35 = Only P10.34 profit!

Maria's Fix:

Raised price to P45. New profit: P20.34 each — ACTUAL target achieved!

Jenny's 2-Tier Birthday Cake

BEFORE iCost:

"Mga P800 siguro ang cost... I'll sell at P1,500"

Thought profit: P700

AFTER iCost:

Ingredients: P650
Fondant + Decorations: P350
Cake board + Box: P150
Electricity: P50
Labor (6 hours): P600
REAL cost: P1,800
Selling at P1,500 = LOSING P300!

Jenny's Fix:

Now charges P2,500 minimum. New profit: P700 — what she originally wanted!

What Bakers Are Saying

Grabe! 5 years akong nagbebenta ng cake na akala ko P100 ang profit. P20 lang pala! Thank you iCost for opening my eyes.

Cathy L.

Cake Business, Manila

As a home baker, I was scared to raise prices. But iCost showed me my real costs — and I was barely breaking even!

Rose M.

The best part is calculating custom cakes. Before I'd just guess. Now I input the recipe, add design time, and give a fair price.
