Cake Designing Software

Create a fully developed cake design before you start decorating by using software specifically for decorators. Whether you're an amateur who wants to up your game or you struggle with sketching out your ideas for client approval, these programs will help.

Wedding Cake Design Pro

Wedding Cake Design Pro, meant for designing wedding cakes, is perfect for making special occasion cakes for events like birthdays and anniversaries, too. Purchasing this software for around $50 allows you to choose the number of tiers, shape of the cake, design elements, colors, and more. Themed elements, like western rope borders or seashells, can also be added to cakes. It includes several cake shapes, including flower, heart, round, and square. Purchase expansion packs, such as the Decal Wizard or Hex Oval Rectangle Tier, to create more unique cakes for under $30 each.

Decorators on Cake Central's forums have varied opinions on the program, with several noting issues downloading or installing the CD and limitations on usability once it is installed. However, others mentioned smoother consults with clients, time saving capabilities, and "true to life" sketches after making the cakes created with the software.
Sweet Designs Cakery says that the software is "amazing" and "awesome."
Sweet Baby {Mason} James calls the software "user friendly" and feels it will be an "asset to (her) business."

Kopykake Desktop Decorator

Adding someone's photo to a cake is a fun way to personalize it. Use the Kopykake Desktop Decorator to make this happen. With it, you can add text and a border before printing. To use the software you'll need a Canon or Epson printer loaded with Kopykake edible ink and Kopykake sheets. The software runs on credits; with your initial free download you'll receive 15 credits and upon purchasing the company's frosting sheets, you'll receive additional ones. Frosting sheets run approximately $28 for a pack of 24.

The editor's review at Software Pick Network mentions the program is "user friendly" for practically anyone.
