CanBake is for bakers who work in grams. Scale a recipe and every ingredient follows. Change a batch from two loaves to seven and the flour, the butter, the yeast, and the cost all move with it. No mental arithmetic at six in the morning. RECIPES THAT SCALE Enter a recipe once. Adjust the batch size whenever you bake it, and CanBake recalculates every ingredient and the cost per unit. Group ingredients into stages like poolish, dough, and filling, and reference one recipe from another when a component is shared. AN INGREDIENT LIBRARY THAT KNOWS WHAT THINGS COST Record what you buy and what you paid. CanBake works out the price per gram and carries it through every recipe, so you know what a batch costs before you start rather than after. Set expiry reminders on the things that go off. SCHEDULES AND REMINDERS Plan what needs to be baked and when. Work backwards from a delivery time through proofs, chills, and bakes, and get reminded before each step. See the whole week at once.
