Stop guessing
what to charge
for every bake.
Bakeluma helps independent bakers and small bakery teams price one product with ingredients, packaging, hands-on production time, an hourly rate, and its share of monthly fixed costs.
Start with one product and see whether its recorded costs leave room for profit.
Chocolate Tart
Costing and pricing for independent bakers—not an all-in-one management system.
Bakeluma is for people who sell baked goods and need to calculate product costs before setting or changing a price.
Solo bakers
Price your first serious products without wrestling with formulas, templates, or scattered notes.
Home bakeries
Compare the recorded cost of a cake, cookie box, or custom order with its selling price before you quote the next customer.
Small bakery teams
Keep product costs and prices in one workspace as your ingredient and product lists grow.
These are common signs that a product price needs another look.
Check the costs you record before you quote, publish, or change a selling price.
Are you pricing by feel?
A price that feels fair can still miss packaging, recurring labor costs, or the overhead that keeps your bakery running.
Do ingredient price changes eat your margin?
Butter, sugar, chocolate, and boxes can move faster than your menu prices.
Do labor costs disappear from your prices?
Count the hands-on minutes for the batch and the hourly rate you want to cover. Keep that production labor separate from monthly overhead so you do not count it twice.
Do you know which products fall below breakeven?
A bestseller can still be a quiet loss if the breakeven price is higher than the selling price.
Calculate one product first. Add more when you need them.
Record the costs for one product, calculate its breakeven price, and compare the result with what you charge.
Add ingredients
Track flour, butter, sugar, fillings, and any ingredient cost that changes your margin.
Build products
Connect ingredients and packaging to each cake, cookie, loaf, or custom order.
Include recorded costs
Add packaging, active production time, and your hourly rate. Monthly fixed costs are allocated by active production time.

Know the minimum price before a product starts turning into profit.
Set the selling price
Compare breakeven, margin, and your market before deciding what to charge.
Catch a loss before you sell another batch.
If the current selling price is below breakeven, you can change the price or review the recorded costs.

Get startedQuestions to ask before replacing a pricing spreadsheet.
See what Bakeluma calculates, what each plan includes, and what the product does not manage.
I already use a spreadsheet. Why switch?
Spreadsheets can work, but they become harder to keep consistent as ingredient prices, packaging, fixed costs, and products change.
Is it worth it if I only sell a few products?
Yes, if you need to check whether the selling price covers the costs you record for those products.
Can it flag products priced below breakeven?
Yes. Breakeven and margin visibility based on the costs you record help reveal products that sell below their calculated cost.
Is Bakeluma a full bakery management system?
No. Bakeluma focuses on product costing and pricing. It does not manage orders, inventory, production schedules, or sales reports.
