Is coldcaking worth the cost?

Coldcaking is worth it when one meeting or deal justifies the send — for example a $99 pitch cake to a VC or a six-figure enterprise account. It is not worth caking low-intent leads at scale.

Prices reflect what it actually costs to custom-bake, print, and deliver a physical send — not a generic gift card with your logo pasted on. Every VC order is baked when you place it; campaign pricing is shown before you pay.

What's included

Custom edible printing — pitch deck slide, logo, screenshot, QR code, or one sharp line.
Local bakery — fresh bake from a partner bakery near the recipient.
Delivery coordination — Daymaker handles the hand-off to the office, not a blind courier drop.
Delivery proof — confirmation when the send lands (or when it does not).

Daymaker pitch cake example: custom Sphinx pitch printed on cake delivered to a16z — $99 buys a custom message that the whole office can see — not another line in an inbox.

What affects the total

Factors that change your coldcaking cost
Factor	Effect on price
Product type	VC map send ($99 flat) vs custom campaign (size + city)
Cake size	Larger cakes cost more; bigger cakes also get more office visibility
Delivery zone	The delivered price varies by city and distance from partner bakeries
Number of sends	Every cake in an order gets cheaper as the order grows: 5% off from 10 cakes, 8% from 25, 10% from 50, 15% from 100, 25% from 500 — and some bakeries take more off on top

When coldcaking is worth the spend

The ROI question is not "cake vs email." It is "this send vs the value of one conversation."

$99 to a VC — cheap if one partner meeting changes your fundraise.
$100+ to an enterprise buyer — cheap if the account is six figures and cold email has gone nowhere.
$100 to a random lead — expensive spam. Do not do this.

Daymaker founders report roughly 30% same-day replies on high-value sends. The cake does not guarantee a meeting — it buys a better first touch than another deleted email.
