Stop losing wedding cake inquiries in email threads. Track every proposal, deposit, and order from inquiry to delivery.
You'll know exactly which couples said yes, how much they owe, and when to follow up — without checking your email three times a day.
Track 30 wedding cake inquiries in June without losing a single one. Know which couples have paid deposits and when their orders ship — in one dashboard.
You just got a message on Instagram from a bride-to-be asking about a 4-tier fondant cake for 120 guests. You reply with a price, she goes quiet for two weeks, then emails asking for a quote. You're not sure if you already sent one. Meanwhile, another couple paid a deposit three months ago and you can't remember when they're picking up. A wedding cake proposal and deposit tracking system sounds like overkill — until you're juggling 15 inquiries in June and one couple's $300 deposit falls through the cracks because their email got buried. You need to see your entire wedding cake pipeline at a glance: who's inquired, who's committed, who's paid, and who's ready to bake.

Sound Familiar?
“You're losing wedding cake inquiries because they're scattered across email, Instagram DMs, and text messages.”
A bride emails you on Monday asking about a custom 3-tier cake. You reply with a price. She doesn't respond for a week. Then she texts asking if you got her email. You dig through your inbox and can't find it. You reprice from scratch and send it again. Two weeks later, she books — but only because she followed up with you, not because you followed up with her. You've probably lost three other inquiries this month the same way.
“You don't know which couples have actually paid their deposit until you manually check your bank account.”
A bride says she's 'sending the deposit today.' You assume it's coming. Two weeks before her wedding, you realize the money never arrived. Now you're scrambling to ask for it while she's in panic mode about final details. You've started keeping a handwritten list of who owes what, but it's on a Post-it note next to your register and you can't find it half the time.
“You're spending 3+ hours every Sunday night pricing wedding cake quotes and manually tracking which ones are still pending.”
Sunday night, 8 PM. You pull up a spreadsheet with 12 wedding cake inquiries from the past month. For each one, you manually calculate the ingredient cost, add your labor, decide on a markup, and type out a quote email. Some couples got back to you weeks ago and you forgot to follow up. Others paid a deposit and you have no idea what date they're supposed to pick up. You're pricing the same cake twice because you forgot you already quoted it.
“You can't see which wedding cake designs are actually profitable because you're not tracking what you quoted vs. what you actually charged.”
You quoted a bride $450 for a 4-tier buttercream wedding cake. She asked for 'just a few small changes' during the consultation. You ended up adding two extra tiers and hand-piping 200 roses. You charged her $500 because you felt bad asking for more. You don't know if you just lost $100 on that order or if you're still profitable — you just know you worked 8 hours on it.
“You're not following up with couples who went quiet after you sent a quote, so you're leaving money on the table.”
A couple inquired about a wedding cake in March. You sent a quote. They never responded. You assumed they booked someone else. In June, they email asking if you're still available for their September wedding. You're already booked. You just lost a $600 order because you didn't have a system to remind you to follow up after 10 days of silence.
See your entire wedding cake pipeline at a glance. Know who's inquired, who's committed, who's paid, and when to follow up.
Monday morning, you open BakeOnyx and see 28 wedding cake inquiries for June. Three are marked 'Awaiting Quote' — you send those today. Eight are marked 'Quote Sent, Awaiting Response' — the system flagged the ones that have been waiting 10+ days, so you send a gentle follow-up text. Five couples have confirmed and paid deposits — their order details are already in the system, with delivery dates, cake designs, and flavor notes. You know exactly what's happening this month without checking email, Instagram, or your bank account. By Wednesday, two more couples book. You add them to the pipeline in 30 seconds each. By Friday, you've booked $4,200 in wedding cake orders for June alone — and you didn't lose a single inquiry.

How It Works
A bride messages you asking about a wedding cake
She texts, emails, or DMs you on Instagram. You open BakeOnyx on your phone and create a new inquiry in 10 seconds: bride's name, wedding date, guest count, style preference. You don't need to write down her phone number or email — it's all right there. The inquiry automatically goes into your 'Awaiting Quote' pipeline.
You price the cake and send a quote
You click on her inquiry and select 'Create Quote.' You pick the cake size (4-tier, 120 guests), choose your buttercream recipe, and BakeOnyx calculates the ingredient cost in real time: $28.50. You add your labor ($150) and profit margin. Total: $425. You review it, click 'Send Quote,' and she gets an email with the price and a link to confirm. You're still covered in flour. This took 45 seconds.
She confirms and pays a deposit
She clicks the confirmation link in the email and pays a $150 deposit through the secure payment link. BakeOnyx marks her inquiry as 'Confirmed — Deposit Paid' and sends you a notification. Her order automatically moves to your 'Confirmed Orders' list with her wedding date, final headcount, and design notes. You don't have to manually track it anymore.
You prepare for her wedding day
Two weeks before her wedding, BakeOnyx reminds you to reach out and confirm final details: exact delivery time, cake flavor, any last-minute changes. You send her a message. She confirms. One week before, the system reminds you to schedule her bake day. You block off Thursday and Friday to bake and decorate her 4-tier cake. The system shows you everything you need: guest count, cake design, flavor, dietary restrictions, delivery address.
She picks up her cake and you mark the order complete
Saturday morning, she picks up her cake. You mark the order 'Delivered' in BakeOnyx. She automatically gets a thank-you email asking for a review. The order is now in your 'Completed Orders' list, and you can see exactly how much profit you made on it: $396.50 after ingredient costs and time. You've got data for next time someone asks for a similar cake.

Before & After BakeOnyx
A bride emails asking for a wedding cake quote on a Tuesday morning
Before
You're mid-batch on cupcake orders. You read the email but don't respond until Thursday. You open your notes app and try to remember if you've quoted this cake style before. You think you have, but you're not sure. You manually calculate the ingredient cost (takes 8 minutes), add labor and profit, and send an email. She doesn't respond for a week. You assume she booked someone else. You never follow up. Three months later, she emails asking if you're available. You're booked. Lost order: $500.
After
You get the email notification on your phone. You open BakeOnyx, create a new inquiry (10 seconds), and click 'Create Quote.' Your 4-tier buttercream recipe is saved, so BakeOnyx calculates the ingredient cost instantly: $28. You add your labor and profit, and the quote is ready: $425. You send it before you go back to your cupcakes. She confirms and pays the deposit by Wednesday. Her order is now in your system with her wedding date, guest count, and design preferences. You don't lose her. You book the order. Profit: $397.
It's June and you're juggling 20 wedding cake inquiries at once
Before
You've got emails, Instagram DMs, text messages, and a few phone calls. Some couples got quotes a month ago and you forgot to follow up. Others paid deposits but you're not sure when they're supposed to pick up. You spend Sunday night opening each email, checking your notes, and trying to remember who's confirmed and who's still pending. You miss two follow-ups because the emails got buried. One couple's deposit reminder falls through the cracks. You're stressed and disorganized. You book 18 wedding cakes this month.
After
You open BakeOnyx and see your entire June pipeline in one dashboard: 20 inquiries, 8 confirmed with deposits paid, 5 awaiting quotes, 7 awaiting responses. The system flags the 7 who went quiet more than 10 days ago — you send follow-up texts to each one. Three couples respond and book. You spend 30 minutes managing everything instead of 3 hours. You book 25 wedding cakes this month. Extra revenue: $3,500.
A couple paid a deposit three months ago and you can't remember when they're picking up
Before
You're two weeks away from their wedding. You panic because you don't know if you already baked their cake or if you're supposed to bake it this week. You dig through emails looking for the confirmation. You find an email from three months ago with a deposit receipt, but no pickup date. You text the bride: 'Hey, just confirming — when are you picking up?' She's annoyed because she already told you. You don't have a system. You're losing credibility.
After
You open BakeOnyx and search her name. Her entire order is there: wedding date, guest count, cake design, delivery time, dietary restrictions, and the date she paid her deposit. You see at a glance that she's picking up Saturday at 10 AM. Two weeks before, the system reminds you to confirm final details. You reach out proactively, not scrambling. She's impressed because you're organized.
You're trying to figure out if a custom wedding cake was actually profitable
Before
A bride asked for a 4-tier cake with hand-piped roses. You quoted $500. She asked for 'just a few changes' during the consultation. You added two extra tiers and piped 200 roses. You charged her $500 because you felt bad asking for more money. You spent 10 hours on it. You don't know if you lost money or made profit. You just know you're exhausted. Next time someone asks for a similar cake, you guess at a price and hope it's right.
After
You log the order in BakeOnyx with the actual time spent (10 hours) and ingredient cost ($45). The system shows you made $455 profit — $45.50 per hour. You realize that's too low for hand-piping work. Next time someone asks for a similar cake with custom piping, you quote $650 instead of $500. You're confident in your pricing because you have data.
What Changes for You
You'll recover 2-3 lost wedding cake orders every month because you're following up with couples who went quiet.
Right now, couples who don't respond to your quote email just disappear. With BakeOnyx, the system reminds you to follow up after 7 days of silence. You send a text: 'Hi Sarah, just checking in — do you have questions about the quote?' Half the time, they do. They were just busy. You recover orders you would have otherwise lost. At $400-$600 per wedding cake, that's $800-$1,800 extra revenue every month.
You'll spend 3 hours less every Sunday night because pricing is instant, not manual.
Instead of opening a spreadsheet and manually calculating 12 wedding cake quotes, you price them in BakeOnyx as inquiries come in — 45 seconds each. Your Sunday night is free. You're not stressed about Monday morning. You've got 3 hours back every week. That's 156 hours a year you're not doing math in a spreadsheet.
You'll never miss a deposit payment again because the system shows you exactly who owes what and when it's due.
No more Post-it notes. No more checking your bank account three times a day. BakeOnyx shows you which couples have paid deposits, which ones still owe, and which payments are overdue. You get a notification the day a deposit is due. Two weeks before the wedding, you get a reminder to ask for the final payment. You'll collect 100% of deposits on time instead of chasing couples two weeks before their wedding.
You'll book 30-40% more wedding cakes in your busy season because you're not losing inquiries.
June is chaos. 25 couples ask about wedding cakes. Right now, you lose 5-7 of them because they get buried in email or you forget to follow up. With BakeOnyx, you see all 25 in one place. You follow up with every single one. You book 30-35 instead of 20. At $450 per cake, that's $4,500-$6,750 in extra revenue during peak season.
You'll know which wedding cake designs are actually profitable — and which ones you've been undercharging for.
You can see that your 4-tier fondant cakes cost $28 in ingredients but you've been charging $425. Profit: $397. Your 3-tier buttercream cakes cost $18 in ingredients but you've been charging $300. Profit: $282 — and they take longer to decorate. You adjust your pricing for next month. You stop undercharging for the cakes that take 6 hours of hand-piping.
