Starting a bakery is a dream for many, but turning that dream into a profitable business requires more than great recipes. Equipment decisions, production planning, recipe scaling, pricing strategy, branding — the list is long, and mistakes are expensive.
Shona built Love Made Edible from a home kitchen into Bangalore's trusted artisan bakery. She's navigated every challenge that bakery entrepreneurs face — from scaling a recipe that works for 12 cupcakes to one that works for 120, to building production workflows that maintain quality as volume grows.
Our bakery consulting is for anyone who wants to start a bakery the right way, or who has an existing bakery that's hitting growth ceilings. We cover everything from initial business setup (licensing, equipment, layout) to advanced challenges like recipe scaling, production scheduling, waste reduction, and building a brand that commands premium pricing.
Every recommendation comes from real experience, not textbooks. When we say a recipe scales a certain way, it's because we've done it. When we recommend a production workflow, it's because we've tested it in our own kitchen.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to start a bakery in Bangalore?
A small home-based bakery can start from ₹2-5 lakhs. A commercial bakery with a storefront typically requires ₹10-25 lakhs depending on location and scale. We help you plan the investment and prioritise spending.
Can you help scale my home bakery into a commercial operation?
This is one of our most common engagements. We help home bakers transition to commercial operations — scaling recipes, setting up production systems, and planning the growth path.
Do you provide recipes or help develop mine?
Both. We can refine and scale your existing recipes for commercial production, or develop new recipes for items you want to add. All recipes are yours to keep.
How long does it take to set up a bakery?
From planning to launch, a typical bakery setup takes 3-6 months. This includes licensing (4-6 weeks), equipment procurement, kitchen setup, recipe testing, and soft launch.
