CakeTally gives you a free calculator and a bakery workspace for ingredient prices, recipes and customer quotes. Where your information is saved depends on whether you use the workspace in your browser or sign in to a cloud account.
The free calculator
Calculator entries are processed in your browser. They are not uploaded to a recipe database. “Save on this device” stores one calculator draft in local storage. Session storage carries inputs between calculators and, when you choose to import, into the workspace.
A browser workspace
Without an account, your workspace is saved in this browser’s local storage when you press a save button. This includes recipes, ingredient prices, bakery details, logos and any customer details you enter. It does not sync across browsers. Clearing this site’s data removes it. Private browsing, storage limits or browser settings can prevent saving. Export backups regularly.
Optional cloud accounts
When cloud accounts are enabled and you sign in, CakeTally uses Supabase for authentication and a private workspace database. Your account email and the workspace records you save are processed by Supabase. Database access rules restrict each account to its own workspace. Your browser keeps a sign-in session so you do not have to log in on every visit. Sign out on shared devices.
Your browser-only workspace is kept separate from your account. It is uploaded only if you explicitly import it while signed in. Signing out returns you to the browser workspace. Account confirmation, password resets and security notifications are delivered through Resend using your account email address. These are transactional emails, not marketing subscriptions.
Customer quotes
Only enter the customer details you need and are entitled to keep. Customer copies show the bakery contact information, order details, prices, deposit and booking terms. Internal recipe costs, labour rates and profit calculations stay in your workspace. Saved quotes keep a snapshot of the amounts and branding used when prepared.
CakeTally does not automatically email customers, collect deposits or confirm bookings. You choose whether to copy a customer summary or print and save a PDF, and how to share it. Review the customer copy before sending.
Backups and retention
Exported JSON backups contain private costs, recipes and customer information. Store them securely and avoid sending a workspace backup to a customer. Import validates the file and adds records that are missing from the selected workspace. Existing records with matching IDs are retained. Archiving hides records from active lists; it does not delete them or reduce stored data.
Browser data remains until you clear it. Cloud records remain in the account database until deleted by the operator or the account is removed. Self-service account deletion is not available in this beta. If you need cloud data removed, contact the CakeTally operator through the channel where you received access before entering more customer information.
Website delivery
Cloudflare hosts the website and processes the request information needed to deliver it. Supabase processes authentication and database requests when you use an account. This beta has no advertising, tracking analytics or payment collection. Fonts and website assets are served with the site.
Your choices
You can use the free calculator and browser workspace without creating an account. Export your workspace from “Backups & data”. You can remove this site’s local data through your browser settings; this also removes saved drafts and your local sign-in session, but does not delete cloud records.
