Ideal for Professional Bakers

The Cake Stacker app has a number of great uses. While you can use this app to learn about building the perfect tiered cake if you happen to be a professional baker this app is great to use in consultations. As you speak with your client you can then enter in the calculations and build a 3D model of the cake for them to view. The app takes into account the portion size and servings you need so it gives you an accurate preview. You can even build a couple of different cakes so your client can then make their choice.

The app just recently underwent a few user interface enhancements and minor bug fixes resulting in better stability and performance. The app scores a solid 3.5 out of five stars but it's obvious users would still like to see more added to this app. Because the app isn't exactly cheap, it's only natural that it should blow customers away, which it isn't doing.

Helping you become the Ultimate Cake Builder

Keep in mind that the tools and features in the Cake Stacker app are customizable, which is a nice feature in itself. Go ahead and start by picking your size, shape, and height. You can always go back and made edits, delete things, or add things. The app will then make the calculations and show you the portion sizes and serving sizes for each of the tiers. You’ll instantly be able to view your cake in a 3D preview.
