Free bakery templates for home bakers

These free bakery templates cover the paperwork a home bakery runs on: a recipe costing sheet, a cake order form, cottage food and allergen labels, invoices, a cake contract with deposit and cancellation terms, a pricing chart and a business plan. Each page explains how to fill the template in, shows example rows, and lets you download the sheet as a CSV file that opens in Excel, Google Sheets or Numbers. No sign-up needed.

How to use these bakery templates

Start with the recipe costing template. Every other sheet depends on knowing what one cake, loaf or dozen cookies costs you, so cost your best sellers first, then set prices, then print the order form and labels.

The example rows in each sheet are illustrations with made-up numbers. Replace them with your own ingredient prices, pack sizes and yields before you rely on the totals.

• Costing: recipe costing template and standard recipe sheet.
• Selling: cake order form, cake pricing chart and cake contract.
• Paperwork: bakery invoice template and business plan.
• Labels: food label template for cottage bakers and allergen chart.

When a spreadsheet stops being enough

A spreadsheet works well for ten recipes. It gets harder when flour goes up and you have to find every recipe that uses it, or when orders, deposits and balances live in three different files.

Farinu is an app for home and micro bakers that does this work for you. On the free plan it costs recipes with ingredients, packaging, sub-recipes, labour, machines and overhead, suggests prices from the markup you set over cost, and alerts you when an ingredient price rise pushes a product below that markup, and it keeps customers with their WhatsApp number and up to 50 custom orders a month with deposits and balance payments. Team adds unlimited orders, your sales log, a monthly profit and loss, and an AI assistant that imports recipes from a photo or from the spreadsheet you already filled in.

Questions

Are these bakery templates really free?

Yes. Every template downloads as a CSV file with no account and no email required.

Can I open the templates in Excel or Google Sheets?

Yes. CSV opens in Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers and LibreOffice. The recipe costing sheet calculates its line costs, total and cost per unit; the other sheets hold example values, and each template page explains the math behind their columns. Save a copy in your spreadsheet's own format before you add formulas.

Yes, on Team: its AI assistant imports recipes from a spreadsheet or a photo. On the free plan you enter recipes by hand, up to 10 of them.
