Most home bakers underprice their work and burn out within a year. The formula: ingredient cost x 3 (covers labor and overhead) + packaging + delivery = your minimum price. For specialty items, charge 4-5x ingredient cost. Track every minute of production for one full week to understand true labor cost. Customers willing to pay artisan prices exist in every market — your job is to find them, not to compete with grocery store prices. Premium positioning starts with confident pricing.
