How it works

How does Cake Order Form work?

Cake Order Form gives every cake order one row. You type the date needed, size, flavor, filling, frosting, the writing on the cake, servings and allergens, then pick a status from the drop-down. The sheet adds up the servings listed, so you see how many servings you have promised.

Take the order

Type the date needed, size, flavor, filling, frosting, the writing on the cake, servings and allergens.

Pick a status

Choose from the drop-down, for example Confirmed, In the oven or On hold. Each choice is a symbol and a word.

Read the total

Servings listed adds every servings cell. Change a number and it updates.

The sample in the file

Six sample orders for October with a status on each, and 66 servings listed in total.

A cake order form template you fill in as the order comes

Your customer does not fill this in. You do, on the phone or in a message, so nothing about the cake lives only in your head or in a chat thread.

Good to know before you buy

  • It is a sheet you type into, not an online form for customers.
  • Prices and payments are not in this file. Bakery Order Form tracks what was paid.

Opens in the app you use

Excel opens the .xlsx file as it is. For Google Sheets, upload the file to Google Drive and open it with Google Sheets. There is a How to use tab in the file.
