If you’ve ever dreamed about starting a bakery business from home, you might be wondering: what baked goods actually make the most profit?

Some baked goods cost a lot to make but sell for little, while others cost pennies to produce and sell for 70–85% profit margins.

That’s exactly why I created a free downloadable checklist to help you focus on the highest profit baked goods you can make from home. This guide will save you time, money, and stress so you can start a bakery business that actually makes money.

Why Focus on High-Profit Baked Goods?

Starting a food business is exciting, but if you’re not careful, it’s easy to end up baking all day for just a few dollars in profit. High-margin baked goods let you:

  • Keep costs low while charging premium prices.

  • Sell in farmers markets, coffee shops, online, or as gift sets.

  • Scale to a $5,000–$7,500/month business faster than with traditional cakes.

When you know what sells best, you can put your energy into the products that truly pay off.

 

 

 

 

 

Top High-Profit Baked Goods (70%+ Margins)

Here’s a sneak peek at some of the baked goods on the free checklist:

  • Mini Loaf Cakes – Costs around $1 to make, sell for $5–$6 each.

  • Brownies with Toppings – Less than $0.50 each to make, sell for $3+.

  • Cookies – $0.40 to make, retail for $2.50–$3.00.

  • Cake Pops – $0.30 each, sell for $2.00 (85% margins!).

  • Fudge – A $4 batch can bring in $48 in sales.

  • Cinnamon Rolls, Scones, and Muffins – Always in demand at coffee shops and farmers markets.

These products aren’t just profitable—they’re customer favorites. People buy them again and again, which means you can build repeat business.

 

 

 

 

 

How to Get Started

  1. Choose 2–3 high-margin items from the checklist to focus on first.

  2. Calculate costs & set prices with at least 70% profit margin.

  3. Start small at local markets or with wholesale accounts.

  4. Package professionally with branded stickers and gift-ready designs.

  5. Market smart with social media videos, customer photos, and holiday promotions.

With this approach, it’s possible to scale from selling a few dozen items to hundreds per week. That’s how home bakers hit $5,000–$7,500/month in revenue.
