Perfect Bake™ is the world’s first interactive baking app. The Perfect Bake system includes this app and a smart scale. It weighs each ingredient for accuracy and uses built-in timers to alert you when you’re done mixing, baking, or cooling. The virtual bowl fills up as you add ingredients, showing you exactly when to stop. Need to rescale the recipe? Perfect Bake does the math for you—whether you’re changing the size of your cake pan, the quantity of cookies you want to bake, or adjusting for the amount of chocolate chips you have on hand.

It’s Easy
Download the free Perfect Bake app, and connect your iPad or iPhone to a Perfect Bake scale.
The app guides you step-by-step through adding ingredients, mixing, portioning, and baking. Never miss a step or ingredient again.
The app is color-coded to show you which bowl to use (three color-coded bowls are included with the Perfect Bake scale).
No measuring! The virtual bowl fills in real-time as you add ingredients and tells you when to stop.
Add ingredients from recipes to a shopping list with a couple of touches.

It’s Foolproof
Perfect Bake measures everything by weight for utmost accuracy – just like all professional pastry chefs.
It does all the math for you to scale your recipe to your specification:
Scale to a number of cookies, cupcakes, muffins, etc.
Scale to a pan size and/or shape
Scale to an ingredient amount: Only have half a bag of chocolate chips? No problem. Put the chocolate chips on the scale and tell the app to scale the recipe.
Three timers – mixing, baking, and cooling – ensure consistently perfect results.

It’s Fun (and Delicious!)
Try something new from hundreds of mouthwatering recipes, all created and tested by our professional pastry chefs.

Pros and cons of Perfect Bake app for iPhone and iPad

Perfect Bake app good for

I have been using this for several weeks now (the scale gifted to me as Perfect Cocktail), and enjoy the forced organisation and tidiness it offers for baking. I have yet to learn to create/add a functioning recipe, but will continue to use this as much as possible. I hope there will be continual updates with new recipes added at regular intervals.
I really do enjoy this app and it goes well with its other products! I totally recommend this! Its lots of fun working with it! Maybe add some more recipes though, I know there is a lot already but maybe some more stuff.
As someone who is still relatively fresh out of college, my kitchen is what Id like to call minimalist. I dont have many measuring tools or mixing bowls, so this product and app is great - no measuring and much less mess to clean up post-baking. I also love that you can go through and input what you have already in your pantry, and it will tell you what kinds of things you can make without going to the store. Thumbs up.
A friend of ours has the old wired Perfect Bake scale. We played with it at the lake house over the 4th of July and the Recipe App is so much fun! We each picked a cookie recipe and took turns making them (the Chocolate Chunk Cherry Almond ones are amazing!!!). It was definitely worth it to upgrade to the PRO scale. The bluetooth is super easy to set up and it looks beautiful sitting out on the counter. Oh, and it works with the Perfect Drink app as well! I see lots of tasty cookies and cocktails in our future... Cant wait to get started!
I received this product as a gift and was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to navigate as I am older and not as intuitive as the younger generations. I did need, however, to read the how to sections and view the tutorial video to get started. I really liked how the color coded bowls, the scale, and the app all worked together. When you begin a recipe the steps are very clear and the measurements are visual. There is even an audio sound when you have poured in enough of an ingredient. You can by pass an ingredient while making a recipe or edit the recipe later. You can add your own recipes, too. This product eliminates the mess of many measuring cups and spoons which is a real plus. This is an amazingly fun product to use.
Ok so I got that thing in mu kitchen but Where is the all american style apple pie cmon its hust apple pie

Some bad moments

Such a disappointment. This app has a VERY SMALL library and needs to be updated with hundreds more recipes to be useful. Dont waste your money until they upgrade!
I’m an avid cook but not when it comes to baking. Baking requires very precise measurements, and I always hated cleaning up all these little measuring spoons and cups just to make a few cookies. This product really transforms the process of baking and I can really see the future in the making. You just pour your ingredients straight from your packaging until the app tells you to stop. Flour, sugar, salt… whatever. You don’t have to scour your utensil drawer looking for that 1/2 tablespoon and the teaspoon measurer. It really helps with the cleanup. I also LOVE the scaling feature. Not in the mood for two dozen cookies? How about making just 8? Now its easy to make a 1/2 pan of brownies (use the banana loaf pan instead) and not overfeed your family. It really changes how you think about a recipe and how much dessert you really want to bake. The feature that helps you spoon out precise cookie sizes is really cool too. Thats a lot of fun for your kids to play with.
They turned out great and the recipe format was easy to follow! I dont need to re read the recipe a bunch of times in order to make it.
There are so many good recipes and the app is easy to follow. I like that I can try to make different recipes by just seeing what I have on hand using the pantry feature.
This product and app have such great potential. Very nice features. I would love to see a category for breads added.
This app really does make baking simple. It tells you recipe details as needed while youre scaling and working through the recipe. In my opinion, organization is the most notable trait of a professional pastry chef; so then it must be true that this app does help YOU bake like a pro! The recipe creator and editor is cool too.
