  • The answerThe sheet cake, holding frosting
From the fair bench

If you land between two profiles, take the one with less lead time. The cake you can actually finish beats the cake you would rather make.

How it goes

  1. Answer the ten questions honestly — especially the one about lead time, which is where people flatter themselves.

  2. Add the scores and read the profile. Four profiles cover almost everyone.

  3. Take the named cake and its three-day plan from the facing page.

  4. Write the shopping list from the same page and stop reading. The choosing is done.

Every named cake lists wheat, dairy, egg and nut content. Check with the host before you bring anything to a table with allergies at it.

That was one recipe, in full and for free. Before anything is asked of you, here is what the rest of them are judged on.

02The judging card Five criteria

You do not need forty-five cakes. You need the right one, once.

Guest count, oven access, travel time and how far ahead you can start — four answers decide almost everything, and once they are written down the choice makes itself.

The order that keeps you out of trouble

Every recipe carries this, because the schedule is the part that decides whether a cake is ready or nearly ready.

Allergens and common sense

Every recipe lists wheat, dairy, egg and nut content at the top. This is a cookbook, not dietary or medical advice — check with whoever is eating, and follow normal food handling for anything with dairy frosting on a warm day.

06Terms of return

Bake one. If it does not earn its place on your table, take the ten dollars back.

Sixty days, no questions and no form — one email to accesssupport.ai@gmail.com is enough. You keep the file either way; there is nothing to return and nothing to cancel.

08Questions Answered in order

What people ask before they bake

Is this a quiz?

It is an assessment you score yourself, ending with one named cake and a plan. Nothing is submitted anywhere.

What if I already know what I am making?

Then check it against Profile B on page 6 — it is the most common answer, and it names the two mistakes that go with it.

Do I need the cake book to use it?

No. Every profile names a cake and gives the recipe with it.

How long does it take?

About eight minutes, once, with a pen.

What if my answers change?

Run it again. Guest count and lead time are the two that move, and both are early questions.

What do I actually get?

One PDF, 11 pages, emailed the moment you buy. One-time payment, no subscription.
