Best Bakery Software for Cost Analysis of Recipes- Want to Buy Used
HI friends,
I need some great advice on what is the least expensive most effective software for costing recipes and keeping track of expenses etc. I am very nontechnical and so will need the non geek special.
*Also, whatever is suggested. Is there anyone out there who would like to sell a used version of the softward. I am on a shoe string and want to be careful about costs.
Best,
Stephanie

Some of my students have used Cake Boss but have told me it's just a glorified excel spreadsheet with pretty icons. Commercial bakery software won't work because as home bakers we use volume measurements instead of weight.
I have another suggestion, so email me with a couple of your key ingredients and prices paid per the package size.

Hey Mimi,
You are always so helpful! I will send to your email my ingedient list and costing so you can tell me what I need to know. By the way, I went to your site last nite and could not find the blog. Would love to see the postings.
Another question. my fruit pies did the moisture migration thing at day 4 so I lost them. Do you feel that if I baked them, cooled them, and froze them...they would not suffer this certain death? My fruit pies are not going at market for some reason- may not be warm enough yet. Do you have suggestions of other pies in addition to bourbon pecan and coconut that keep well and fit inside home-based baker laws for nonrefrigeration?
Thanks,
Stephanie
How are your book sales going? I am excited for you!!
