Bakery Pricing & Profit Workbook 🍒
Stop guessing your prices and start pricing with confidence.
You know how to bake—but figuring out what to charge can feel like an entirely different skill.
Many new cottage bakers price their products based on what other bakers are charging, what sounds reasonable, or the cost of their ingredients alone.
But your price needs to account for more than flour, butter, and sugar.
Your ingredients, packaging, labor, overhead, and profit all play a role in determining what your products actually need to sell for.
The Le Chéri Bakery Pricing & Profit Workbook walks you through the pricing process step-by-step so you can understand your numbers and build prices based on your actual costs—not guesses.
🍒 What You'll Learn
Inside the workbook, you'll work through how to:
- Calculate the true cost of your ingredients
- Break down recipe and batch costs
- Determine your cost per item
- Account for boxes, labels, bags, and other packaging
- Include your time and labor in your pricing
- Account for overhead and other business expenses
- Understand your total product cost
- Build profit into your pricing
- Calculate a selling price based on your bakery's numbers
Instead of asking "What should I charge for this?" you'll have a repeatable process you can use when pricing your bakery products.
🧁 See the Pricing Process in Action
Numbers make a lot more sense when you can see a real example.
That's why the workbook includes a Cinnamon Roll Pricing Case Study that walks through the pricing process using a bakery product so you can see how the different costs come together.
Use the example as a guide while working through the numbers for your own products.
