Home Bakery Business Kit

Home Bakery Business Kit — Cost every recipe properly, scale a batch, and run the order book.

Home bakers almost never undercharge on purpose. They undercharge because the butter was bought in a five-hundred-gram block and used two hundred grams at a time, because the box and the ribbon never made it into the sum, and because nobody costed the four hours. This kit does that arithmetic properly. It is not a general business finance workbook — there is no income and expense log here, no cash flow, no profit and loss and no invoice tracker. It is a costing and order-management kit for one specific trade: an ingredient price list where cost per unit calculates itself, a recipe costing sheet that pulls those unit costs in with a lookup and then adds overhead, labour hours at your rate and a suggested price at a margin you choose, a batch scaler, an order book that tracks deposits and balances, a weekly bake plan, and two editable Word documents — an order form and a price list.

What's inside

• One XLSX workbook with 6 tabs, pre-filled with a worked example of 17 priced ingredients and 2 fully costed recipes
• Ingredient Costs — 40 rows where cost per unit calculates itself from the pack size and the pack price, so a price rise is one number to change
• Recipe Costing — 60 ingredient lines that pull unit costs straight from your price list, total the recipe, then add an overhead percentage, labour hours at your own hourly rate, and a suggested price at a margin you set in a gold cell
• Batch Scaling — set the base batch and the batch you need, and 12 ingredient quantities rescale themselves
• Order Book — 50 rows with a 7-stage status dropdown, deposit and automatic balance, collection or delivery, and live totals for deposits held and balance still due
• Weekly Bake Plan — a printable-and-fillable plan with the day, what to bake, which order it is for, the oven slot and what to prep the night before
• Order Form (DOCX) — every field you need to take an order properly, including a line that asks the customer to state any allergies or dietary requirements in their own words
• Price List Template (DOCX) — a clean, editable price list to hand out or attach, with the prices worked out on the costing tab
• A 7-page printable companion (PDF): pricing your bakes honestly with the full arithmetic shown, a costing walkthrough, a 14-point market stall checklist, an enquiry-to-order flow and a before-you-sell page
