Key Features:
📦 Smart Pantry & Ingredient Tracking Add your grocery items and wholesale ingredients to your pantry. Enter the price and the package size (e.g., $5.49 for 5 lbs of flour), and BakeCost will automatically calculate the exact cost per gram, ounce, or cup.
🍰 Dynamic Recipe Builder Select ingredients from your pantry to build your recipe. BakeCost does all the heavy math behind the scenes to convert units and give you the exact ingredient cost for the entire batch.
