Built in a working bakery · For professional pastry & bakery kitchens
Caramize carries every formula through costing, ordering, production, stock, labels and the roster — one system instead of spreadsheets, notebooks and four other apps.
It all starts with the recipe. Write a formula once and Caramize carries it through everything that follows: Recipe → Ingredients → Suppliers → Costing → Production → Stock → Allergens → Traceability → Labels → Wholesale → Team.
Caramize is built and used every day inside Madame & Yves, our own working pastry bakery. Every workflow — costing, production, ordering, traceability — has to earn its place on a real production floor before it ever reaches yours.
Start with your recipes, free: build your professional recipe library, cost and scale your formulas, and bring the rest of your kitchen across when you are ready. Up to 100 recipes, no credit card.
Caramize is kitchen operations software for professional pastry chefs, bakers and production kitchens. It connects recipes, ingredient costing, production planning, purchasing, stock and traceability, allergen labelling, and staff rostering and timesheets in one system, so a formula written once carries through everything that follows.
People who make food professionally and need recipes to behave like production assets rather than notes in a cookbook: pastry shops, bakeries, restaurant pastry sections, cafés with production kitchens, chocolatiers and caterers. Home cooks are welcome to use the free recipe book, but the product is built for professional kitchens.
A recipe app stores what you wrote down. Caramize costs it against real supplier prices, scales it, plans the production run from it, orders the ingredients, tracks the batch and its lot numbers, builds the allergen and ingredient label from data you confirm, and rosters the people who bake it. It is built and used every day inside a working pastry bakery, Madame & Yves, rather than by software people guessing at a kitchen morning.
Yes. It covers HACCP temperature logs, allergen records for the 14 declarable allergens, printed labels built from data you have confirmed, full ingredient traceability from supplier lot to finished batch for recall, and staff training and certificate records.
Rostering, a time clock, timesheets and approvals, and an hours export for your payroll system. Caramize records hours, breaks, attendance and leave. It does not calculate pay, apply awards or check Fair Work compliance — you check the records and your payroll system works out the pay.
The personal recipe library is free for up to 100 recipes with no credit card and no trial expiry. Full kitchen access is currently offered to a small founding cohort of kitchens onboarded by hand, with pricing fixed for those accounts.
