Cottage food to retail bakery to wholesale accounts
Eight sections. The same five-step framework every Guidebook follows — adapted for the specific moves that matter in this business. Different trade, same playbook structure, every time.
Cottage food laws by state, home-based bakery income limits, commercial kitchen rental, bakery license, food handler certification, and the permit path from home to retail.
Signature items, seasonal menu, wholesale-ready products, and the SKU selection that balances production efficiency with customer demand.
Cost of goods calculation, labor time per unit, packaging cost, and the retail vs wholesale pricing model that makes baking profitable — not just busy.
Farmers markets, Instagram DMs, Facebook groups, pop-up events, local café wholesale, and the customer acquisition tactics that work before you have a storefront.
Lease selection, commercial kitchen equipment, build-out basics, and the financial model that determines when a retail storefront makes sense vs when it's premature.
Cafés, restaurants, hotel breakfast programs, corporate office accounts, and grocery stores — the wholesale pitch and margin model that generates volume without retail overhead.
Wedding cakes, custom event orders, and the deposit + contract structure that protects you on large custom work.
Production scheduling, kitchen staff, ingredient purchasing at scale, and the daily output targets that make a bakery financially viable with employees.
Most home bakers undercharge, burn out, and quit — because they're pricing on feelings instead of math and selling to neighbors instead of channels that scale.
This guidebook covers the legal path, the product line, the pricing, the sales channels, and the wholesale model that builds a bakery into a real business.
The product you make is real. The demand is real. The path is written down.
