Looking for an alternative to Cake Boss?

Cake Boss focuses on order scheduling, client management, and custom cake quoting. Craftybase focuses on ingredient-level costing, inventory tracking, and COGS — so you always know what each product actually costs to make, which materials you have on hand, and whether your pricing covers your real expenses.

Yes. Craftybase is used by cottage bakers, custom cake decorators, and cookie artists who sell through farmers markets, direct orders, or online. It tracks ingredients and packaging as materials, builds recipes with per-unit cost calculations, and handles multiple product types from the same set of shared ingredients.

Yes, and it goes further. Craftybase builds recipes from your ingredient list, calculates the cost per unit or per serving, and automatically adjusts your material stock when you record a manufacturing run. You can also add labour and overhead to get a fully loaded cost — not just the ingredient cost — for every product you make.

Yes. Craftybase integrates with Etsy, Shopify, Amazon, and WooCommerce. Orders sync automatically, your product inventory updates with each sale, and COGS are tracked per order — which means your tax-time reports are ready without extra manual work at year end.

Craftybase starts with a 14-day free trial and monthly plans priced for small handmade businesses. Unlike some specialty bakery tools, Craftybase covers the full business picture: ingredients, inventory, sales channels, COGS, and tax reporting — without the enterprise price tag.
