Can't find the copied recipes for the dim sum you often make? I have a snack that I want to make temporarily, but the ratio of ingredients in the recipe I found online is different from the usual recipe? Private recipes can solve your troubles.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Private Baking Recipe at 100% against Bakely Wedding Cake Decorating's 24%. Private Baking Recipe also leads on ads (none vs shown). Bakely Wedding Cake Decorating's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (1.8K vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Bakely Wedding Cake Decorating holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bakely Wedding Cake Decorating has 1.8K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 24% of Bakely Wedding Cake Decorating's written reviews are positive against 100% of Private Baking Recipe's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Bakely Wedding Cake Decorating ships an update monthly, Private Baking Recipe every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
