Start a Home Bakery: A Practical Guide to Equipment, Recipe Costing, Pricing, Packaging and Your First Orders
Love baking and want to earn from your own kitchen? This 128-page guide is a practical business toolkit for Indian home bakers, not another recipe book. It’s written for homemakers, students, working professionals and hobby bakers who want to plan, price and run a small home bakery properly.
You’ll learn how to choose a niche, set a realistic startup budget, and buy only the equipment your menu needs. You’ll also learn to standardise recipes, cost every gram, and set prices that cover your ingredients, packaging, utilities, wastage and your own time. Three worked examples (a tea cake, a batch of brownies and a custom celebration cake) show every calculation, including the difference between markup and margin.
The book also covers taking orders, packaging and delivery, and customer communication, with 14 ready-to-use WhatsApp and email templates. It explains food safety, hygiene and India’s FSSAI registration rules, including the thresholds in force from April 2026. A 30-day launch plan and 13 printable tools help you launch carefully and improve based on real results.
All prices are clearly marked as illustrative. The book doesn’t promise sales or profits; it helps you understand your real numbers.
