How to Start a Kid Bakery
Dream of running your own little bakery like Eleanor? Here are her best tips for turning your baking into a tiny business (with grown-up help, of course).
Master one signature treat
Pick one thing and bake it until it is amazing every time. Eleanor practiced her strawberry cupcakes over and over before she sold a single one!
Do the money math
Add up what your ingredients and boxes cost. Your price should be more than that so you make a profit. Profit = price − cost.
Make it pretty
People buy with their eyes first! A cute box, a ribbon, and a handwritten thank-you note make customers smile.
Take preorders
Preorders mean you know exactly how much to bake, so nothing goes to waste. That is why Eleanor’s Bakery is preorder only!
Stay safe and smart
Let a grown-up handle money, emails, and talking to customers you don’t know. Always label treats with ingredients so people with allergies stay safe.
Say thank you
Happy customers come back and tell their friends. A big smile and a "thank you!" is the best marketing in the world.
