Foods come in different varieties and tastes. Because of the fact that pastries are all time-favorites in America, they will always be saleable any season of the year.

So, why don’t you try venturing into your own pastry business even if you are in the comfort of your own home?

One of the most lucrative food businesses today which only require low start-up cost is no other than the pastry business which can be done at home. You will also have no problems when it comes to attracting customers because they will be the ones to go to your home even if you don’t do lots of advertising. But in order for you to make sure that this will successfully happen, the pastries must absolutely taste good and delicious. In this kind of business, you need to have passion for baking to ensure that you will be one of the most promising businesses in the pastry industry someday.

Steps to Start a Pastry Business from Home

The things you need in order for you to operate as a business well are as follows: baking supplies, baking equipments, envelopes, fliers, business cards, office supplies and office equipment.
In order for people and potential customers to know your business, you have to develop a business name and a business logo as well. Just before you submit your order to a certain printer, you must first ask pieces of advice if the name is attractive or not. Upon reaching the final draft of your chosen logo, you can already take it to a printer to print up the business cards, letterheads and envelopes.

Of course, the best way to sell your pastries is in the neighborhood. As you gain more profit, you can already reach out to others and to a larger potential customers as well.

Next, you need to begin building a certain list of people whom you can inform regarding your pastry business. This is considered a very timely technique but will allow you to save lots of green bills. Make sure that you don’t forget informing your family and friends so that they can also refer your business to the people they know thus, increasing your leads and your profits as well.

If you would like to earn bigger, then the next thing you need to do is printing out brochures with the pictures and descriptions of your pastries. In taking photos of your pastries and designing your brochures, you can also try to hire a professional in order for you to make its appearance more appealing.

You also need to utilize the mailing lists. By doing this, you will be able to market your products to larger customers. As long as there is time, you can think of more advertising strategies to incorporate in your business.

    Hello, I'm trying to start a pastry business from home, making things like cupcakes, cakes, cookies, and in a years time add ice cream and a few specialty breads, yeast related products like doughnuts, croissants... Most of my competition are either cafes, wedding cake makers who also operate from their homes, or bakeries that specialize in bread but majority of their products are not top quality. I'm based in Uganda-EastAfrica and would appreciate your in put on how to start and preparing a plan.

    I have been doing pastry as hobby and occasional sales, after thinking about my future, i decided to go ahead and make pastry a full time business. Do I need to make a business plan? I don't know what price to sell the goods or what percentage to charge for labor. How many items to offer before launching. Thanks!
