Questions about custom cake estimates
Is this custom cake estimate template free?
Yes. Open it in the estimate generator, change anything, and download the PDF. No account needed.
How should a custom cake be priced?
Per serving is a common way, with decorations like sugar flowers priced on their own. This template does both, and a kitchen sheet cake stretches the servings for less.
Can a cake inquiry become an estimate?
Yes, with CustoDesk. The inquiry from your site's form lands on the customer's profile. Send an estimate from there with a deposit, and they approve it online and pay by card into your own Stripe account.
Can my customer approve it online?
Not from the PDF. Send it from the Invoices app instead and your customer approves it from a link, and pays a deposit if you ask for one.
Is anything I type saved?
No. The PDF is made on the spot from what you typed, and none of it is kept.
Take the deposit when they say yes.
