This is the first time I read this interesting post. Thanks, Alice. Am I supposed to use version S if I have Excel and R if I don't?

Thank you so much for sharing your work with us! I'm up way past my bedtime playing around with this spreadsheet. It's brought up a lot of costs that I never thought of before.

THANK YOU!!! This matrix is awesome... I'm very impressed with your Excel skills as well!

You mentioned you have developed a Powerpoint... it looks like you could post that to youtube.com.

Thank you so much for sharing your matrix! It is very helpful!

Wow, I think it'll take days for me to unerstand all of this. Thanks so much for sharing this!!

ALICE, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I'll have to study it to get it down pack because I've never used Excel. I'll probably have many many ?'s for you, LOL. But, Thanks again, I appreciate all of the time & effort you put into this to help not only yourself but others and that's what LIFE IS ALL ABOUT, HELPING ONE ANOTHER, GOD BLESS!!!

Alice thank you so much this is so very cool and very helpful. One question how do I change the logo in the customer tab? I have not been able to do it for some reason any ideas when you get a chance will be helpful. Thank you so much again for all your hard work. Oh I have the Q download if that makes a differance

Can i change the currency and price? how will i do it? Thanks!

i am unable to download....any other way to get the price matrix???

Thanks for all your hard work. I really like what you have done!

I finally downloaded the matrix and think it will help me with my "undercharging" problem. I do have a question......i need to make a wonder mold dress cake.....where should i plug that into? would that be considerer a specialty cake? it only uses one mix so should i consised it a 8" cake w/o layers?and what if i cover with fondant? TIA

My matrix probably isn't the best for the wonder mold or character pans. You can estimate by putting in two 8 inch or 2 six inch I would imagine. I should probably also adjust the matrix to include odd size pans.

Anyway, awhile I ago I used my camera to video a little tutorial on the matrix but it was too big to upload to youtube. Recently I bought a mac book and there is an option to send directly to you tube so I did that.

There are TWO parts since the total video was 11 minutes long and you can only have 10 minutes... so I cut it into two parts.

Alice,
Have you uploaded version S or is it still a work in progress?

Thanks,

Hi Alice,

Wow!!! What an excellent spreadsheet you have there! I just downloaded it and will be playing with it to get more familiar and comfortable using it. Thank you for all the work that you put into it and also for sharing it with us.

One suggestion, and I am not sure if this is already in the spreadsheet, would be to have one place where you input the price of the ingredients for all the recipes. This way, if the price of an ingredient goes up or down, you just change it in one place instead of changing every recipe that uses that ingredient. Does that make sense? Like I said, I need to play with the spreadsheet more, I am not sure if this is already a feature in there.

Thank you again for your generosity in sharing this! I know it will help a lot of people!

There is a place for your ingredients pricing. That is crucial to the spreadsheet to be able to accurately tell you your costs. It is on the recipes tab.

I'll attach version S here if I haven't attached it before.

Thanks for posting version S. I cannot wait to check it out!

Is it just me or is anyone else having a problem opening it?
TIA

Seems to be a corrupted file. It needs to be reloaded.

Thanks Alice!

Hi Alice,
Thank you very much for sharing, Iknow this work takes so much time to do... am new at this and now that I can see all this informaion I have realized i have not been charging enough

Thank you again !

I have Windows Vista and it will not open this older version of excel in a readable manner. It goes to compatible mode and it jumbles the columns.
I also got the corruption errors as well.

If anyone has one in a more recent excel format (Vista) Can you please email it to me.

Thank you!

Thanks so much for posting this, I have been unable to use it as well, and since I have Vista, I am assuming that's the problem, if anyone figures out how to make this rockin' spreadsheet to work on Vista, please, please, please, could you let me know? Thanks!

Never really used excel but this spreadsheet looks great, hopefully I'll figure it out soon. Thanks for sharing.

I downloaded your newest version of the matrix, but when I enter 2 for the number of layers in my cake; the matrix does not add up the costs. I was wondering if I was doing something wrong...thank you
Becca

Thank you for all your hard work on this spreedsheet, you did a great job. I am just starting a new business and you have really given me a great start on the business side. The only problem I am having is that I don't use cake mixes and I seem to figure out how to insert my recipes. Do you have a tutoral or a post to referr to. Again thank you for sharing you hard work.

Hiya all, Alice, Thank you for uploading newest version, I'm trying to put my own recipe in the cake recipes tab, but i'm not understanding what each column is for. What is amount unit amount and price refer to.? How do you work out how many cups you get from one batch. Or more easily, how many serving you get from 1 cup? The cup problem i'v sloved, i have converted my grams measurements to cups. Ie: i know that 1 cup butter is 227g, 1 cup sugar/flour is 128g. On the fillings tab, do you use ready made filling? Thank you for any help at all.

So I uploaded Alice's cake pricing matrix and let me tell you I LOVED it! I used it twice and it's awesome. But for some reason, now I can't edit any of the fields! Anyone know what happened? I can pull it up and there is my wonderful pricing matrix, but I can't do anything with it.

are 3 d cakes in this matrix? I looked but not sure I am looking in the right spot... Thank you

I feel very stupid. I am new to this site and have searched and searched. I am sure it is right in front of my face but I cannot find the matrix. I am so embarrassed!

Is there a reason that I can't view beyond page 6?
