Question 6

How do I price my baked goods correctly?

Accepted Answer

Correct bakery pricing requires calculating your ingredient costs, overhead (utilities, packaging, equipment depreciation), your time at a fair hourly rate, and adding a profit margin. Most home bakers undercharge because they forget to include overhead and their own labor. SweetTube Academy's blog and BatterSuite's pricing calculator are designed to help you price profitably.

Cottage food laws are state regulations that allow individuals to sell homemade food products from their homes without a commercial kitchen license, within certain limits. Each state has different rules on what can be sold, where it can be sold, and revenue caps. SweetTube Academy provides resources to help home bakers understand and comply with their state's cottage food regulations.

SweetTube Academy offers both free and paid resources. The Home Bakery Starter course is completely free. Other courses, tools like BatterSuite ($15.99/month), and IcingVault (free plan available, Pro at $9/month) are available at various price points.
