Hi,

I just joined and am excited about the future of my fledgling homemade cookie business! I am not baking from home; I am able to use a commercial kitchen for which I am being charged $200/month. I also bought liability insurance for $300/year and  I am taking an online food handling course for $15 in the very near future.

My question then is, how do I include the above costs into my cookies so I have that covered? Right now there is no other labor, I have priced out all the ingredients, etc. I sell them by the dozen.

Any help is already greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

First, congrats on your new endeavor!

We have a number of great blog posts about cookie pricing and the business of cookies on the site, so I suggest you check them out. Here are two to start:

Also, a word of caution about the words, "Right now there is no other labor". Don't forget that YOU are labor - you need to charge to cover your labor costs AND make a profit; otherwise, sustainable growth will be impossible. Michelle's post (the first one above) discusses this point in more detail.

This one is the perfect place for the answer of your question.Congratulation on your new start and regarding pricing you can visit and read Blogs of these forums.I am sure they will help you to set prices for cookies.All the best.

I was wondering if anyone had purchased the spreadsheet program, that was mentioned in the pricing blog. (offered at smallfoodbiz.com)  I was considering purchasing but was looking for more feedback.
