I have heard a few say it is great, but would love to know if this is the consensus with most everyone who has used it. -- Tiff - MA www.facebook.com/sweetbeecakery |

I have always wanted it myself but can’t afford it. It looks amazing when reading about it but don’t most things? I do hope some people who have it/used it can stop in and give us feedback! -- Nikki, So Cal, www.Facebook.com/nikkibelleperchecakes |

Honestly you don’t need it. You can create spreadsheets for almost anything that this software does. I had finally decided to break down and buy the software after wanting to keep up with my invoices….however, the software was not as easy to use as I had imagined and after starting to use it I realized that I could do all of the same things just by creating spreadsheets for it. I returned the software and received a full refund. I just keep a folder saved on my computer for invoices and I have created another spreadsheet just to track my actual costs for each recipe. |

Thank you oakleygirl77! I wondered about that same thing and my husband kept telling me I could get the same result if I sit down and input it all myself :) -- Crystal Memories in the Baking |

Thanks so much, oakleygirl77!! I was wondering if you could set up similar spreadsheets with simple formulas in Excel! This confirms my suspicions! -- Becky, North Carolina, http://www.cakesbybecky.blogspot.com |

Bakermama, I started using Google Documents and I really like it. There is a spread sheet app in there. All you need is a g-mail address you can set up for free and you are good to go. There’s a word document, power point app, There are 7 different applications in ‘google documents’, alone. Also: Google has a calendar. I use it to keep track of my cake orders. I can use my kindle fire and check and see if I am still available to do cakes. I was even able to book a cake a year from now. (this would also apply to an android phone!) -- Psalm 127:1 Unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labor in vain. |

Boy, I was wondering the same thing. I’ve been so tempted to buy the software because I got tired of tracking everything down on excell. But if it does exactly the same thing that I do with my excell spreadsheets then I don’t see the need to spend that money. Thank you for sharing! -- It's a sophisticated World! www.thesophisticatedchef.com.... www.facebook.com/thesophisticatedchef |

I bought the software and I haven’t had time to figure it out yet either. I am hoping to get it done this coming week. All your comments make me think maybe I wasted my money though. I hope it’s what I need. I wanted something where at the end of the year I could just print out all the stuff I needed for taxes. -- Bonnie, AZ, www.IspiredOccasions.com www.facebook.com/inspiredoccasionsAZ |
