Sound familiar?
Orders lost in chats
Scrolling back through WhatsApp to find who wanted what, and when.
Guessing your costs
Not quite sure what that cake costs you to make, so pricing feels like a gamble.
A fiddly spreadsheet
It works, but it's tiny on your phone and one wrong tap breaks a formula.
What you can do with Butterbook.
Want to see your bakery in Butterbook? Join the beta and we'll set it up with you for free, with your own cakes, prices and customers.
Get free beta access →Take an order in seconds.
Pick the customer, the cake and the size. The price fills in from your price list, and the message for the cake is saved with it.
- Sizes show their price, so there is nothing to look up
- Deposit, paid or unpaid, tracked on every order
- Today and tomorrow's bakes waiting for you on Home
Get paid, and send a proper receipt.
See what's still to collect at a glance. When the cake goes out, mark it collected and share a neat PDF receipt straight to WhatsApp.

- Your bank details printed on unpaid receipts
- Every receipt says it's from your bakery, not a spreadsheet

What Butterbook asks Google for, and why.
Butterbook runs on Google. The first time you open it, Google asks you to allow three things. Here's what each one is for.
Google says: "See your primary Google Account email address"
So Butterbook knows it's you
Your email tells Butterbook which bakery is yours and whether your beta access is active. It isn't used for marketing.
Google says: "See, edit, create and delete only the specific Google Drive files you use with this app"
So Butterbook can keep your bakery's sheet
Butterbook creates one Google Sheet for your bakery in your Drive, plus weekly backup copies, and reads and writes only those files. It can't see the rest of your Drive.
Google says: "Connect to an external service"
So Butterbook can check your access
Each time you open the app, it asks TulipShots' access service whether your account is active. It sends your email, your business name, the app version, the type of device and whether you've switched on Pro features. Nothing from your sheet is sent.
What TulipShots can see
- Your email address and business name
- When you opened Butterbook, on what kind of device, and which version
- Whether you've switched on Pro features
What TulipShots can't see
- Your orders, customers, recipes, prices or expenses
- Any other file in your Google Drive
- Your Gmail, contacts or calendar
The full details are in our privacy policy. You can remove Butterbook's access anytime from your Google Account's third-party connections.

Questions bakers ask
Do I need to be good with tech?
No. If you can use WhatsApp, you can use Butterbook, and we'll help you set it up.
Where is my data kept?
In a Google Sheet in your own Google account. You own it and can download it anytime.
Why does Google ask for permission when I open it?
Butterbook needs your email to know it's you, access to the files it creates in your Drive to keep your bakery's sheet, and a connection to TulipShots to check your beta access. See what each one is for.
Can I bring my existing spreadsheet?
Yes. Butterbook can import the orders, recipes and customers you already track.
Does it work on my phone?
It's made for your phone first, with a full view on your computer too.
What does it cost?
Free while in beta. Pricing is coming soon, and beta bakers will hear about it first.
