How does a bakery make money?

A bakery sells bread, pastries and cakes over the counter, and often earns more from custom orders, wholesale to cafés and shops, and market stalls. Ingredients are cheap but labour and early hours are not, so owners price each item from its full cost and plan production to limit waste.

Can I start a bakery from home?

In many places you can, under home or cottage food rules, but those rules differ widely by country and state. You may need to register, pass an inspection, label allergens and limit what or where you sell. Check with your local authority first.
