Bakery Invoice Generator
Custom bakery work (wedding cakes, event orders, wholesale standing orders) bills differently than the counter: per-serving pricing, deposits that lock the date and design, and delivery/setup for the pieces that can't survive a car ride. This invoice structures those, for home-based cottage bakers and shops alike.

What to Know About Bakery Invoices
- Tiered and custom cakes price per serving (with complexity multipliers for sculpted work); the serving count on the invoice is the same number the client used to plan the event. Keep them identical.
- Custom-order deposits (commonly 50%, non-refundable inside a window) cover ingredients bought and dates blocked; the final invoice shows the deposit applied and the balance due before or at pickup.
- Delivery and setup for tiered work is skilled labor billed by distance and complexity. The line that saves the cake also deserves to exist on the invoice.
- Cottage food laws let home bakers sell with a license/registration but cap venues and often require labeling; operating under one is worth noting on the invoice footer for transparency.
- Wholesale standing orders (cafés, restaurants) bill weekly or monthly against delivery records, a different rhythm from event work, same template with dated delivery lines.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is a custom cake actually priced?
Servings × a per-serving rate that reflects complexity (buttercream at one rate, fondant and sculpted work higher) plus setup/delivery. The invoice showing that math is what makes an $900 cake explicable to the person paying for it.
Why are bakery deposits non-refundable?
Dates are capacity: a booked wedding weekend turns other orders away, and specialty ingredients get bought early. Most bakers make deposits non-refundable inside a stated window. Cite the policy on the invoice, not just the contract.
Do allergens belong on an invoice?
On custom orders, a short contains-line is cheap insurance and genuinely useful to event hosts. It supplements (never replaces) the labeling your license may require.
