Overview

Starting a cake or cookie business from your kitchen means a lot of paperwork nobody warns you about. This kit covers the whole job in one go: forms that take an order properly, labels for every box, a spreadsheet that works out a fair price, policies that keep deposits safe and posts to tell people you're open.

Everything shares one look, so your business feels put together from the first message. The design files open in free Canva, the business manager runs in Google Sheets or Excel, and the contracts are Word documents.

  • Orders taken properly

    Forms start with allergies and cover pickup, deposits and a signature.

  • Prices that pay you

    The 14-tab business manager adds your labor, overhead and profit to every quote.

  • Deposits protected

    Plain policies, an order agreement and an event cake contract ready to edit.

  • Ready to promote

    Instagram posts, stories, flyers, business cards and a loyalty card.

What's inside

How it works

  1. 1

    Buy on Etsy, then download START-HERE.pdf and the files from your Etsy Purchases page.

  2. 2

    Open the Canva and Google Sheets links in the PDF and add your logo, prices, flavors and policies; anything in [brackets] is there to change.

  3. 3

    Print the forms and labels, post the social templates and send the policies with your next order.

Good to know

  • Digital download: nothing is shipped
  • For use in your own business: please don't share or resell the templates
  • A free Canva account is enough, no Pro needed
  • A template, not legal advice: check the rules where you live, or ask a lawyer
  • Cottage food laws differ by state: check what your state requires on a label

Questions

What do I need to start a home bakery business?

Beyond your kitchen, you need a way to take orders, price them, label what you sell, set policies and get the word out. This kit has a template for each of those, though you should still check your own state's cottage food rules.

Do I need Canva Pro?

No. A free Canva account opens and edits every Canva template in the kit.

Does the pricing spreadsheet work in Excel?

Yes. The Bakery Business Manager comes as a Google Sheets link and an Excel file.

Can I change the wording in the policies and contracts?

Yes. They're Word documents, and every part in [brackets] is meant to be replaced with your own details.

How it's made: designed by Sorted Templates. We use AI tools to help draft text and lay out pages, and every page is reviewed and edited by us before it's listed. Lifestyle and mockup images may be AI-generated or AI-edited; the page previews show the actual files.
