About

CakeCue

Read full description

Overlay a reference image on your live camera view and decorate your cake while visualizing the finished design. CakeCue is a camera guide app that helps you decorate real cakes using reference images for illustrations, lettering, fruit, whipped cream, chocolate plaques, and more. When you are deciding how large a decoration should be or checking the overall balance, CakeCue lets you view your reference image and the real cake together on one screen. FEATURES • Choose a reference image from your photo library • Move, resize, rotate, and adjust the opacity of the reference image • Show, hide, or lock the reference image • Add a circle, square, or rectangle guide • Move, resize, rotate, and change the color of the guide • Show, hide, lock, or remove the guide • Zoom the camera up to 8× • Tap to focus and use the light CakeCue is not a camera or recording app. The live camera view, reference image, and guide are displayed together only on screen. The app does not capture, save, or upload photos or videos. For stable alignment while decorating, secure your iPhone on a stand or similar support. FREE TRIAL AND PURCHASE Try every feature in one free trial. The free trial ends when you return to the Home screen from the camera screen or 60 minutes after it begins, whichever comes first. After the trial, a one-time purchase lets you use all CakeCue features without session limits. This is not a subscription. No account. No ads. Terms of Use: https://cakecue-app.web.app/en/terms
