CUPCAKE
baked to order
Baking software for home bakers and small bakeries — formulas, scaling, substitutions and bake-day planning, working offline on your own device.
Why it exists
Recipe apps help you cook. Cupcake is for people who bake — the formula, the mixer, the oven load, and the time you have to get up to have it out by seven.
In the bakery
A baker’s formula, not a shopping list
Ingredients carry weights, flours are flagged, and every line shows as a percentage of the flour — hydration, total dough weight, the lot. The way a bakery writes a recipe.
Scaling that respects reality
“I need 50 loaves” becomes whole batches, because you cannot mix 1.4 of a dough. The app does the arithmetic; you keep the mixer size you actually have.
Substitutions you approve
A library of gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan swaps. The app suggests; you accept or reject; the result saves as a named variant. It never rewrites a recipe on its own.
Bake days that work backwards
Say what you need and when it must be ready. Cupcake counts batches, mixes, oven loads and hands-on time, then tells you what time to start — and when the day will not fit in a day.
Running the numbers
The half that turns a recipe collection into software you can run a small bakery on.
Costing three ways
Per batch, per unit, and per serving, from your own price book. The number you need before you quote, not after.
Price book & inventory
What flour actually costs you this month, and what is on the shelf, so the costing is not a guess from last year.
Orders
A 300-cookie order becomes batches, mixes and a start time, instead of a note on the fridge.
Yours, on your device
Recipes, costs and plans stay on the phone or the desktop. No account, no feed, no subscription.
